I have two thoughts about icons:
1)
inverted high contrast big theme uses the 36x36 as its default icon size,
also it is the mini size.
so if this theme is used, synfig studio use 36x36 as well, that means 24x24
is enlarged into 36x36, and the blurred result comes up.
it seems that each app controls it icons in its own way.
Inkscape, (almost) all icons are drawn in a single svg files, and using
metadata to define icon names. and load these icons accordingly.
Gimp, all icons are complied, so there is not png files (source files). and
actually its default size is 22x22.
A std gnome app, eog for example, there are different icon size provided
using file system, each size has it own folder named by size.
Importance is that inkscape and gimp control their own icon size in their
own way. and desktop theme can not overwrite their icons controlling. it is
a good thing for a non-desktop specified app development, it makes icon
design, user interface design simple and easier.
maybe the gimp way is nice for us, render sif into png and then complied ,
and provide a gtkrc file for those people who would like to customize their
ui .
2)
The point is not the target size of png files here. In most cases, 24x24(and
16x16) is the size of Synfig Studio, so it will make icon design task easier
if we draw icon in a 24x24px canvas :)
