Blurry Breeze SVG icons

Choosing SVG versions of icon themes end up with blurry icons. The normal versions look better, even though they are not fully Retina quality (bug #128699)

This is on a nightly after the fix of bug #122218, I also observed this problem before the bandaid fix

Have not tested on non-Retina screen if the SVG icons are also rendered blurry there, only on a MBP 13" 2015

I presume this is blocked by bug 115439 (which is a more generic case), not vice versa.
Comment 4 eisa01 2020-04-02 20:29:47 UTC 
I don't agree, this needs to be fixed before SVG is enabled as the default, at least on macOS.

The normal icons are not retina, but looks better than the blurry SVG versions

I don't want us to have an oversight here, the macOS version already has too many QC issues (e.g., Catalina, the broken font-rendering in many versions etc.)

The way I understand is that the other bug is also used to track general code pieces missing for handling SVGs for icons properly in HiDPI mode (bug 115439 comment 7), but I don't know what actually has to be done.
Comment 6 carlosjosepita 2020-04-25 07:04:35 UTC 
This is true for Linux also, should a new bug be opened or this be renamed in order to generalize it?
Comment 7 eisa01 2020-04-25 08:51:33 UTC 
I don't think SVG icons being rendered blurry is a generic issue on Linux, so that sounds like an environment specific issue. It would probably be better to open a new issue for that, to nail down when it happens
Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-03-28 09:29:18 UTC 
- Is this still the case for LO 7.5?
- Can someone see the same thing before version 5.3? To see if its the same regression as bug 122113.
Comment 9 eisa01 2023-04-02 09:09:58 UTC 
Still present in 7.5, yes

I tried checking 5.2.7 and 5.3.7 (does not run on macOS 12 btw), but they don't bundle SVG icon themes on mac?
