Is that not the case? Well almost that is the fallback way for non hidpi aware apps. If your application supports hidpi it won't render a 32x32 icon that way but use a 64x64 one instead and render it unscaled. Which looks better (i.e non blurry). -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
