High Resolution Icons for 1080p & Beyond?

Hi,

Is there any plan to upgrade to high-res icons for 1080p+ screens? On my Dell XPS13 1080p screen, with Windows scaling disabled for XYplorer, fonts look clear and crisp but icons are rather fuzzy and I'm not even using large icons option.

I find that it's best not to play with display scaling on windows.
A lot of programs have an old code based and when they were written scaling didn't even exist as a concept. Most monitors were tiny and low res for a great many years.

Remember that XYplorer has been written over the course of more than 15 years, so the interface is good for the time it was written for and the tools that it was written with. I think that giving it a visual overhaul would require a lot of hard work and the focus of this software is not visuals, but speed and features for quickly managing files.

Best of luck with this.

Don's good taste's our hope.

Might solve also the glitch with
; Tweak: zoom factor for main toolbar (0.5 - 8)
ToolbarZoom=1
