Re: [Kicad-developers] [Request for Tests] Experimental icon options in Kicad

I noticed that the option (introduced recently) to avoid showing menu icons does work but it does not seem to work for the contextual menu of cvpcb. See attachment [image: Inline image 1] cheers Fabrizio On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 12:11 AM, Kevin Cozens wrote: > On 2017-03-01

I think in the "real world" people usually solve this by either using vector icons or (more commonly I think) using icon formats that store a number of different resolutions (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, etc) and picking the best one based on the screen DPI. (This is how Android works). The upside is

I have a 2560x1440 14" display here. I have no idea what wxWidgets queries for "system dpi" (I'm running dwm), but I've tested the icon scaling setting. Since it just scales the bitmaps it looks pretty terrible on this display (even on the lowest scaled setting, 1.5). Obviously vectorised

Re: [Kicad-developers] [Request for Tests] Experimental icon options in Kicad

I'm OK with making the menu icons a user option rather than a build time option. I really don't have a preference on this issue so give the people what they want. The bitmap scaling is a separate issue and needs to be tested by users with high dpi displays. I don't recall anyone reporting back

Re: [Kicad-developers] [Request for Tests] Experimental icon options in Kicad

Hi Guys, I do not have a HDPI monitor but I just would like to add that in my opinion it might be a good idea to have the option of showing and not showing menu icons. Regarding the resizing I have no opinion. Cheers Fabrizio On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 4:34 PM, Wayne Stambaugh

Ah. I had a better patch for this but I never submitted that scales the icons 100% to intended size regardless of the display DPI without the need for "size scale options". wxWidgets has the functions to calcuate the correct scale, it's just not exposed to fix bitmaps in 3.0 but its in 3.1. I

I recently had a look at the feasibility of enabling/disabling icons in menus and changing icons size, depending on the monitor size in pixels. I cannot fully test myself the result of large pixels (looks bad on my monitor), but is is intended to be used only for HDPI monitors. This is only a
