Bug ID: 150973
Summary: Use only SVG for the icons
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: hoss...@libreoffice.org
This is a proposal to have only SVG icons. Using SVG, which is a vector format,
allows to display the icons very crisp on various different displays. This is
not always possible with the icons in raster formats like PNG.
As discussed in tdf#144583, the current PNG icons are displayed blurry on HiDPI
displays. We also have SVG icons that are now displayed very crisp on HiDPI
displays, because of the fix for the aforementioned bug.
Quoting from Caolan:
"Maybe for the png case it would be nicer to have the pngs available in
different sizes to begin with so a suitable size would be available rather than
upscaling a smaller one, or maybe svg only is the right way to go eventually."
Having SVG only icons is a better approach, because of the use of fractional
scaling leads to multiple/unknown icon sizes.
Therefore, I suggest to deprecate PNG icons, and have only SVG icons.
