Task and Toolbar icons blurry, low res

[Jawomo]

Icons seem a little blurry / low res when using a bigger taskbar.

Would be nice if the app would use hi res icons for tasks and toolbar.

Do you mean when a custom theme is using icons larger than 16 points, high DPI, or something else that is making the taskbar larger?

[Jawomo]

Yes, when using a theme which is higher, with bigger icons, they get blurry.

Working on a windows 11 like theme currently

Thanks for clarifying! I will look into adding a property that themes can set to use larger icons.

That would be awesome 👌

Now if we could get black tray system icons and a desktop shortcut in right corner this app would be perfect.

Thanks for your support!

For large icons in the latest build you will only need to add:
<system:Boolean x:Key="UseLargeIcons">True</system:Boolean>

Now if we could get black tray system icons...

Check out #293, it's already available via GitHub Actions builds for now.
You will need to add:
<system:Boolean x:Key="InvertSystemNotifyIcons">True</system:Boolean>

...and a desktop shortcut in right corner this app would be perfect.

Working on it (#169).

@xoascf
Thats great news! Will test this asap. With this RetroBar will get even more flexible 👍

This is now available in 1.8.

Hello, I've recently upgraded to a 1440p monitor, and now I've noticed retrobar is kind of blurry. Is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I've tried to use an edited version of Windows XP Royale Noir.xaml with this line
<system:Boolean x:Key="UseLargeIcons">True</system:Boolean>
but all I get is the "System" default theme instead.

What is the scale factor on the windows desktop - try adjusting that.
I run Retrobar on a 4K monitor with 150% scaling, I do not see any blurring.

When I adjust the scaling of windows desktop, Integer multiples (300%, 200%, 100%) are displayed beautifully.
Unfortunately, it's blurry at 150% and 175% scaling.
