Created attachment 184246 [details] Icons in Windows 10 taskbar look very blurry The new application and .odf icons are not showing at proper resolution size on the taskbar and Start menu. The taskbar icon uses 24x24 size, but I think they down-scale bigger icon sizes for this. Therefore the icons look very blurry. For the Start menu I don't know.
Created attachment 184247 [details] Small icon in Start Menu also looks blurry Small icon (Impress icon) in Start Menu also looks blurry compared to medium icon (Base icon).
Tested version Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad387d5b984c6666906505d25685065f710ed55d CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Stephane, is it possible for you to confirm the issue?
Created attachment 184278 [details] Screenshot of LO 7.6 start menu icons on Windows 10 I think I am seeing the same as you. I used the magnifier to 200%, and placed some other default Windows apps closeby to compare. We could probably use a higher density.

Although the MSO Word icon looks more blurry to me than our Writer icon MSO seems to store the icons as resources in wordicon.exe (and co) but has a few *.ico in the office folder. One is lync.ico with these sizes: 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 72, 96, 256 + 20, 40, 60 (plus some duplicates and a few icons with higher contrast; in total 23). The MSDN page [1] says: "Application icons and Control Panel items: The full set includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 256x256 (code scales between 32 and 256). The .ico file format is required. For Classic Mode, the full set is 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64." Our previous icons were 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256 the new icons are in 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 The MSDN page continues: "Quick Launch area: Icons will scale down from 48x48 in Alt+Tab dynamic overlays, but for a more crisp version, add a 40x40 to .ico file.... Additional sizes: These are useful to have on hand as resources to make other files (for example, annotations, toolbar strips, overlays, high dpi, and special cases): 128x128, 96x96, 64x64, 40x40, 24x24, 22x22, 14x14, 10x10, and 8x8." Seems we are missing 24px and 48px, not sure about 22px and the 40px. Assigning the ticket proactively :-) [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/vis-icons
Addendum: 20/40px are used at 125% scaling and 120dpi (stated in the MSDN page)

Tested in latest dev version: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2ce749a428d1df2c659ecfdaf2e151dd07d3f1b3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT); UI: en-US Calc: threaded In the Start menu the issue is fixed (as visible in attached picture), but in the taskbar Windows still isn't using the correct icons.

Created attachment 184311 [details] Image with correct resolution size Correct resolution size. Don't know why it blew up the size so much.
