TC9 beta: new icons missing? Yes, it's intended for beta1+2

[Stefan2]

Hello, where can I obtain wcmicons.dll for hi-dpi monitors?
Current file produces pixelated icons on 4k monitor.

officially nowhere right now, see: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=43999


But there are post with alternative icon sets.... somewhere in the forum.
(not sure if they are for 4k)

It depends on two things.
1) The used icon library. Do you already use the extended icon library which features 48² icons?
Download: https://plugins.ghisler.com/addons/wciconex.zip
2) Your buttonbar settings. You have to use the 'small icons' option and should set the icon size to the native icon size. I'm not sure though if another value is required for high dpi screens.

thank you, i tried both variants (WCICONEX.DLL and new WCMICONS.DLL) and prodlem is still here.
some icon (e.g. a folder) looks smooth and another one (e.g. an arrow) looks jagged. my toolbar size is 64 pixels in height.
I can paint something myself but have no time right now.
I thought someone has made it already

It's not about toolbar size but about icon size. These are two different things in TC.

2Lefteous: yes, sure. I meant that toolbar size should match for icon size and it is

I would actually suggest to use slightly larger buttons (4-8px depending on the size). Maybe you can live with 48² icons for the time being (I guess 64² icons will be supplied later during the beta)? When using 200% scaling this is the same as 24² for a normal display.

I see that the only size the user can change in toolbar settings is actually the room for icons. When I set it to 64 I get the toolbar 71 pixels in height. So the icons look unstratched, but their pixels are big (2x2) and without antialiasing. I made a screenshot to make it demonstrative:

you can see that MS Paint icon (the third one from the left), taken from mspaint.exe, looks perfect, while arrow icons are not so good. On the bottom of the picture there are two windows from the standard icon selection dialog, where you can see icons from the new WCMICONS.DLL and WCICONEX.DLL in the native resolution. Please also pay attension on the arrow icons.

No, again there are two settings. The button size which you set to 64 and there is the icon size setting which you disabled although I told you to enable it by checking 'small icons'. So it's not really a surprise that you get upscaled icons...

I made a screenshot to make it demonstrative:

And I though it's about the toolbar not its configuration?

[Vladymir]

ok, these settings both are the room for icons
also, I got the ms paint icon not upscaled, right?
and when I checked "small icons" on and set their (second) size to 64, I got the same situation!
I suppose that the reason of it is the fact that each icon does not have a picture above 32x32:

(update: WCICONEX.DLL has max size 48x48 which is also insufficient)

[ps]

Yes it can!
1. Define the colors in Configuration - Options - View modes
2. Define the rules in Configuration - Options - Auto Switch Mode

It really works!
But it took You... :)
I will give instructions in Czech:
Takže pokud chcete nastavit odlišné pozadí jednoho z obou oken (např. pro případ, kdy na jednom z oken zvolíte jinou jednotku než c:\ postupujte takto:
Konfigurace / Možnosti / View mode /
Tlačítkem Add vytvořte nový název barevného schema - třeba "Odlišení jednotky"
Pak zvolte barvu podkladu okna Background a Background 2.
Stiskněte Použít.

Pak zvolte ve stromu nabídek následující volbu, kterou je Auto Switch Mode.
Zde tlačítkem Add vytvořte pravidlo. V Rule ponechte hodnotu např. Must match a do Directory vyberte podle potřeby z nabídnutého stromu jednotek a adresářů - např. E:\* V dolní části okna pak vyberte již založené schema ("Odlišení jednotky") a vše uložte.

Pak už budete kopírovat vždy z c: do e: (tedy např. z "bílé" do "šedé") a nikoliv naopak, což se mi také občas stávalo... :)[/quote]
