A seemingly random selection of plugins have icons that are too tiny to use. Older posts around here seem to suggest I have to manually resize these images… any simple pointers I am missing here would be much appreciated. Plugins include Artisan @mind.sight.studios , @tt_su _su (Architect tools, Edg…

What happens if the native display resolution is set to 150%?

I suspect that @RLGL is right - if I recall correctly, scaling beyond 150% is not recommended for SketchUp due to issues such as this. My guess about the older display is that SketchUp applies the same scaling to icons on all displays and the internal one is dominating.

[image] RyanE: The problem occurs on both screens and regardless of reducing scaling. Are you changing the scaling when SketchUp is open? SketchUp supports display scaling up to 150%. I understand plugin icons are PNG or BMP images while SketchUp itself uses SVG vector graphics.

A subtlety to this is that the laptop screen is the hires screen, but it is physically small, so I use the older, lower-res secondary extension screen for SU as it gives me a larger and better-positioned thing to look at. The laptop screen is the one set to 250% scaling, which in general results in…

FWIW some authors have made the change or offer .svg toolbar icons. Fredo6, for example does offer them in his FredoSpline extension. It’s not very likely that he’ll update the old BezierSpline extension anymore, though.

Sounds like no tricks I’m missing? I’ll make sure I’ve updated what I can. Thanks all.

[image] RyanE: The laptop screen is the one set to 250% scaling Have you tried setting the screen resolution lower so you can reduce the scaling.

Yes, extensions needs to be updated to provide vector icons for high DPI monitors. A good many of my extensions where created before that was an option, so they still have bitmap icons as they’ve not had an update for a while. Updating all icons is rather tedious and I’ve not had time to do everyt…
