I totally agree on that, the main problem is the SVG Rasterizer (I guess that's the same as a SVG Renderer?). But there are plenty of free OpenSource SVG Renderers out there: Inkscape, Chromium, Firefox aso... all support SVG Rendering. Isn't it possible to use the code of those, if the LibO renderer is so hard to fix? I know its easy to talk like that when you are not a developer, so just my two cents on that ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738774 Title: Pixeled icons with LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on HiDPI/4K display Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS shows pixeled icons on a HiDPI/4K monitor like used in the Dell XPS 13 9360.

Ok,time for an update here too :) I use SVG-Icons quite a long time now, and for me those always look better than the png versions. I just did an comparison, and the png-version really looks terrible on an high-dpi monitor with 175% scale. As far as I remember, SVG primarily was an issue on Linux? So can't we just make SVG default on Windows? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738774 Title: Pixeled icons with LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on HiDPI/4K display Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS shows pixeled icons on a HiDPI/4K monitor like used in the Dell XPS 13 9360.

I did some comparisons between png and svg and Stuart is right, up to 150% the png looks better then the svg. But over 150% scale, the svg looks dramatically better then the png. So can't we male SVG default when scale-factor is over 150%? Sure we can say: "you can switch it manually in Preferences", but thats not "nice" for new Users that maybe have a first look into LibreOffice (because maybe they want to change from Microsoft Office) and then say: "oh my god, that looks terrible, not thanks, I'll stick to MSO. It may take years for those ppl to make another try, if ever. And I do believe, that there are even many longterm LibreOffice Users, that might not know that they can "fix" ugly Icons on HiDPI Monitors by swichtching Icon-Sets... And can you explain that sentence further: "The mechanism for "detection" of HiDPI is "thresholded" at 168 dpi." I'm not sure what that means. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738774 Title: Pixeled icons with LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on HiDPI/4K display Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS shows pixeled icons on a HiDPI/4K monitor like used in the Dell XPS 13 9360.

Thanks for the explanation :) That sounds not so bad, but LibO really should offer the same "steps" as the Host-OS (in my case Windows) does, that means 25% steps, not only 50% steps on Windows. Otherwise the Icons look to small or to big on 175% Scale for example. And not only the Icons itself, also the spaces between them (other bugs show that problem). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738774 Title: Pixeled icons with LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on HiDPI/4K display Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS shows pixeled icons on a HiDPI/4K monitor like used in the Dell XPS 13 9360.
