Blurry toolbar icons

Any better if you select one of the SVG icon themes?  Retina, and other HiDPI, implementations are why they are delivered.

Tools -> Options -> View  the 'Icon style' drop list.

Icon themes available in Vanilla

There's no SVG version, and neither of the themes are crisp

(Aside, on the current nightly the SVG versions are rendered super blurry, but that may be the other bug)
Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2019-11-12 15:42:59 UTC
Confirming that there are no SVG icon sets in LO Vanilla 6262, only Tango and Colibre.

However, I don't see really any blurry icons, at least not with my MBPro outputting "optimised for retina" display to a Thunderbolt 27" external display, and choosing "Very Large" as the default icon size, and Tango as the default (automatic) icon set. Did I miss something ?
Comment 5 eisa01 2019-11-17 13:04:49 UTC
Blurry may not be the best description, it's more pixelated.

You can clearly see the pixels in the toolbar icons, as it's low res version. I can not see this in e.g., Microsoft Office apps

Also the dropdown chevrons are pixelated

Where are the icons stored in the application bundle? would be the quickest way to confirm they are low resolution
Comment 6 Alex Thurgood 2019-11-20 16:48:30 UTC
Confirming on a different external monitor running at 1080p
Comment 7 Rizal Muttaqin 2020-03-29 12:56:51 UTC
Please recheck this issue with daily master build (currently 7.0 version) which included new Sukapura icons both PNG and SVG version. You can try it out here:

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master


You can also install it via extension which more convenient to do:

Bitmap version:

https://github.com/rizmut/libreoffice-style-sukapura/blob/master/build/Sukapura-IconSet.oxt

SVG version:

SVG rendering and settings in 7.0 nightly

The theme looks good, but both the pixel version and the SVG is still "non-Retina"

I tried OpenGL and Skia rendering of the SVG theme, didn't help

@eisa01 is the same problem in TDF's version at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/libreoffice/id1630474372 ?
Comment 10 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-03-28 11:28:48 UTC
eisa seems to have tested with the TDF builds already in comment 8. If that's the case, no need to go through the app store, eisa.
Changing summary to remove the Vanilla mention.
Wondering if it was related to bug 122218.
Setting to needinfo, please set back to new when tested.
Comment 11 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-03-28 12:12:55 UTC
This one is PNG, bug 130678 is for SVG.
Comment 12 eisa01 2023-04-02 09:23:53 UTC
The App Store version is not related to this after all, it is also the case with the normal download

Still present, toolbar icons are not crisp

I was just bugged by this and finally decided to submit an issue but I see it's already here. 

As others mentioned - icons are not "retina" - no matter if it's SVG or PNG versions, they are pixelated.

It's not only top toolbar icons, but also icons in sidebar, zoom slider dot, find toolbar icons, the triangular thingies for wrapped toolbar to show mor icons.

With the recent fix for svg icons in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130678 svg is likely the way forward and works as expected now.

Debate needs to be had whether svg icons should be the default for LibreOffice on macOS but there likely won't be any work happening improving png icons on macOS now that svg is working fine.

Please test https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html and report back if you are still seeing trouble with the svg icon themes.
