Description Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov (mva) gentoo-dev 2013-07-24 23:43:22 UTC
I've been noticed after one of last upgrades, that bitcoin-qt somewhy installs ugly lowres .ico pixmap instead of ~256px .png or .xpm pixmaps.
Can you fix that, please? :)

Reproducible: Always

The .ico contains resolutions from 16 up to 256 in 32-bit colour, and 32x32 in 8-bit colour. I don't think there are any additional images in the *.xpm and *.png.

Screenshot with ugly .ico

Actually, installed .ico looks very ugly in any resolution I tested it, starting from 24, including 48, 64 and 128.

I've added a screenshot to show you how ugly that icon looks like (upscaled with white border).

Prove .ico uglyness

And that is that .ico opened in graphic viewer to prove it uglyness in, for example 96x96.

Normal icon

And that is, for example, 256x256 .PNG, that looks fine (all the same without upscale and border artefacts.

AFAIR, I took that icon from original bitcoin distribution, so I can't understand a reason to not install 256px png instead of ugly upscaled .ico.

This is a problem with whatever software is rendering it.
Comment 6 Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov (mva) gentoo-dev 2013-08-04 21:28:18 UTC
Can you tell about any software (avilable in portage), that renders it in 256px exactly like that PNG in attach? I can't. Even imagemagick's "display" shows border artefacts and upscale issues.
