Hi, The latest version of Wine on a Ubuntu/Gnome system automatically creates the correct icons when shortcuts are placed in the desktop or "virtual start menu". However, it seems that the largest icon created is 48x48. Can this size be increased as these icons look fuzzy when using applications like Docky with zoom enabled? (or does this need to be changed somewhere else rather than simply the shortcut, but the actual running application icon)? Thank you, Adam

Windows icons are/were bitmaps while most Gnome icons tend to be SVG or PNG. Windows icons never have scaled at all well while SVG is a vector graphic format, and so fully scalable, and PNG is similar to GIF though it seems to scale a bit better than either GIF or JPG. Martin

And 48x48 is the largest windows programs have.Icon files can support icons up to 256x256 pixels.... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997538.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511280.aspx (Vista seem to have a view displaying icons that large) Icons larger than 48x48 might not be that easy to find though...

> And 48x48 is the largest windows programs have.I think this is true for the programs I was looking at, however Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format)#Icon_size.2C_transparency_and_color_depths) says that Vista supports 256x256 icons. So if I could find an exe with a 256x256 icon, Wine should show it ("as-is")?
