Description Gustavo HC 2018-10-01 20:46:45 UTC
OS: Windows 10 Pro - Version 1803
Screen: standard 4k 28" monitor.
Video: Intel HD530 (i7 6700)
Video drivers: Intel (Dell original driver)

Description:

  Using windows settings to scale screen:

    -Scalling to 100% (unreadable small): LO icons works great.
    -Scalling to 125% (small): LO icons works great.
    -Scalling to 150% (recommended by windows): LO shows blurry icons.

This behavior repeats equally on 3 different machines (2 identical desktops and 1 laptop)

Thanks
-Gustavo HC

Which icon theme do you use? There are known problems with HiDPI on Windows. I want to know whether the icons are png or svg format.
Do you use OpenGL? Please try with and without it. The setting for that is in menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View.

Colibre, but it happens with other icon themes.

Sorry, I dont know, Its selected Colibre (default one)

Same result, enabled, disabled or ignoring devices.

I did a little video showing the issue.
My PC is in Portuguese language, but I think you will get the problem.

First, the Windows desktop is scalled at 150% (default for a 4k screen) and icons is broken.

Second I change the scalling to 125% (not ideal) and the icons appears perfectly.

"Filmed" the monitor due to logout/login stuff.

Hope it helps.

Colibre in 6.1 has png-Format.

I have a normal monitor, but can see bad icons too, if I use a higher percent value for screen resolution.

There are similar reports bug 119444 as duplicate of bug 119200, and bug 114699 and its duplicates.  


I will attach an icon theme with svg. Please try whether the display will become better with that.

Put the attached file into the folder <installation-path>\share\config. You should see other images_***.zip files there. Then start LibreOffice and select "colibre_svg" in the options. Please report back, whether it looks better.
Comment 6 Gustavo HC 2018-10-03 17:16:06 UTC
Yes. For sure, looks better.
Some icons appears to be still blurry (pixelated), but in general its really better.
Thanks.
Comment 7 Günther Breitfuß 2018-10-19 18:26:54 UTC
Ich habe es mit colibre_svg auch versucht. Die meisten Symbole werden nun richtig angezeigt. Es sind aber noch einige dabei, bei denen es nicht klappt.

Where exactly in the Options can we choose the "colibre_svg" package?

If you have the icon theme "<InstPath>\share\config\images_colibre_svg.zip" then you should see the item "Colibre(SVG)" in the drop-down list "Icon style:" in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View. If you need further help to get it, please use mailing list or forum.

Yes, it is there. But I would never would have founded on my own

And it worked to some extent- most of the icons look now normal


So thank you
