Emulator

I just tested this in Windows 7 and I can't reproduce this.

Is Large Icons some sort of accessibility feature? Because I don't actually see enable large icons in the taskbar properties so I'm just assuming you meant "Don't have small icons enabled"

I believe it may be an intermittent issue only occurring on some computers.

Dolphin icon does look like it's been badly resized with low quality image editing tools.

Not only on toolbar but I can also see it in folder of Dolphin's executable files. Right-click on free area in the folder then View -> Content.

Windows 8.1 x64

Pretty sure large icons is default and small icons is a configurable preference.

Taskbar Properties -> Use small taskbar buttons.

Im on Windows 10 so possible not relevant but both Taskbar icon and folder icon while in Content view look fine to me.

Im using always combine, hide labels as well.

Forgot to add im using latest 4.0-7420.

Why did you not attach images Jimbo?

Anyway, there was an issue identified with the taskbar icon in windows when the new logo was going in around 4.0, but it was very unreliable and hard to reproduce. It was just considered "another WX bug" and we moved on... Without images I cannot confirm if this is that or not. Of course, that issue had nothing to do with "16x16", so I definitely need to see it to know.

Run Dolphin then open Netplay window. Both will be on taskbar with diff icon quality.

That's a 32x32 icon, not a 16x16 icon. :/

I think OP was mistaken.

Well, if that is the issue, it's something we tried to fix for 4.0 and weren't able to figure out. :( I'll show this to delroth and see if he thinks its worth exploring and trying to fix before 5.0.

I am able to reproduce this issue following the steps Lucario posted. This is using Windows 8.1.

Marking as accepted because I did experience it at one point, two years ago. Apparently it wasn't completely fixed. Marking as milestone current, but we may drop that later on.

Not able to reproduce on Windows 10. Going to drop this from current as it's not a regression.

Did you test the steps listed here: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8890#note-7 or just the ones in the original report? I am still getting icon issues in 4.0-9081 in Windows 8.1.

This is what I get with the netplay window open and buttons not combined: https://i.imgur.com/WPXQUIH.png

Also if I attempt to pin the Dolphin development build to the taskbar it immediately switches to the lower quality icon as soon as I do so. If I unpin it it reverts to the higher quality icon.

I still think this is something that should be fixed for 5.0.

Okay I believe I have figured out what is going wrong here. Copied from what I wrote on GitHub:

Dolphin by default is loading Sys/Resources/Dolphin.png for its 32 x 32 icon on the taskbar. However in certain circumstances like opening a second window or pinning/unpinning Dolphin it is loading the 32 x 32 version of Dolphin.ico instead. As we previously didn't have a 32 bit 32 x 32 version in the .ico file we ended up with the poor looking 8 bit version. In this PR I added a 32 bit 32 x 32 version however it does not look identical to Dolphin.png which is causing the continued issue in my previous post.

I am going to try to get this fixed.

As a follow up to my previous post a new icon with an identical 32 x 32 variant to the PNG version was used in PR #3727. This solves the problem visually but it doesn't change any program behaviour. I'm not sure if Dolphin is supposed to be loading two different files as icons so I don't know if this issue should be marked fixed or not when this change gets merged.
