Smaller shell icons and changed tree indentation after upgrading from 25.10.0100 (32-bit) to 28.30.1600 (64-bit)

XYplorer 25.10.0100 (32-bit) and 28.30.1600 (64-bit) run side-by-side on the same Windows 10 system (175% scaling). The old version displays larger shell icons; the new version displays smaller folder icons and different This PC/drive icons. Also, in the new version the folder tree is much narrower (narrow tree is off). See attached screenshot. Fresh configuration and copying the old Data folder do not change the result.

Looks like your 32-bit screenshot is from an XYplorer.exe process where Properties / Compatibility are set to "Override High DPI scaling behavior" --> "System (Enhanced)".

Yep, setting "Override High DPI scaling behavior" to "System (Enhanced)" solved the issue.
Something I could/should have tried :oops:
Thanks!

BTW, I noted that when starting the new version from the old version it always looks "OK", because apparently high-DPI settings are inherited.
