Sizing Icons

[TheTree]

Hi all,

I have seen that the standard icon size is 32 x 32 pixels, am I right?

But, for example, the icons in the VB Express IDE 2005 toolbars seem to be larger, maybe 50 x 50. Is it possible to make my own icons with this size (or larger) and place them in the toolbars and menus of my applications?

I´ve also seen, that not all lines of my own icons are drawn on the screen of my notebook, although it is set to native resolution (1400 x 1050). How is this possible?


Thanks & greetings,

The icons seem the same size as always to me.. Even if I increase the windows icon size to 50, only the desktop icons change.. Are you possibly using a theme or skinning tool that changes the size? That could also relate to your improper resize effect as well.. (I am using non-standard resolution as well - 1680x1050 - My screen's native)

... what I´ve thought to be 50 x 50 is really 32 x 32, I mean the icons in the VB Express 2005 IDE toolbars .

But in the toolbars of my application they are scaled down to 24 x 24. That´s why some lines are missing.

Now I tried to increase the height of the toolbar to 33 pixels. But it won´t change it´s height, whenever I put the new height in the "Edit Items ..." menu of the toolbar. Why does it not run?

In addition to the size property of the individual icons, there is an ImageScalingSize property of the tool strip itself.. Is that set to anything specific? Usually it defaults to 16x16..
