[PLASMA 5] Right click Properties PNG icon blurry

[Grahm]

Hi, I tried to use PNGs of size around 600 x 400px for 64 px icons on Dolphin library folders ( music, pictures, videos etc ). I tried to change them using

Right-click > Properties > Click on icon image option

The icons look blurry on 80 px and below. But when I use 128px, the PNG icons I made using Blender looks nice. Is there any method using which I can get non-blurry icons below 128px ?

PS: I tried resizing the PNG icon to 64px, but it is still blurry or the better phrase is not sharp. Thanks

I believe svg graphics work better for this, can't say why 'old skool' PNGs look blurry or how to remedy this, but things are more geared towards scalable graphics in Plasma (and Gnome iirc)

It was easier to draw in Blender and render it out for some 3D models. I thought there will be some workaround.

I have not come across one, so far.
perhaps finding a png icon that is not blurry, and examine that?
While the preference for SVG is strong, properly sized/formatted png icon sets should still work as expected.
Maybe icons that are square will work better?
Look in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ for the different sizes, and maybe some examples

Awesome. Thanks.

These icons are not blurry at all when I use it raw. They were rendered at 1080p. When I set the icon size as 128 px, they look brilliant and very sharp.

I checked hicolor and its 128px file was good. So I tried 128x128 image through scaling. It looks very crisp when in original folder. But when used as an icon to Library item, blur comes again. I think there is some decorations / blur given to icons by default which does not tamper SVG.

I think is better to use SVGs until I find a workaround. I did use an existing icon pack to go back to the usual business. But I do not how to change the right click icon change to whatever icon pack offers. It is still those Right-click > Properties > icon images. Please help me change everything to whatever icon pack is active. Thanks.
