Description
The Mailspring system tray icon appears blurry on my Windows 11 machine.
This looks like a regression: in Mailspring 1.11, the tray icon was rendered sharply under the same display settings. In the newer version, the icon appears noticeably blurred compared with the other tray icons.
I have the scale on my display, at 125%, laptop, display resolution 1920x1200.
To Reproduce…
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Nothing, just the rendered tray icon.
Expected Behavior
The Mailspring tray icon should be rendered sharply and at the correct resolution, as it was in Mailspring 1.11 (v1.11.0-6193b33c).
As I understood, the one of the new feature brakes it, from the release of 1.12.0:
The Windows tray icon styles have been improved, and a new option allows you to opt-out of the red icon style
