    Icon Files Displayed as Thumbnail View in Windows Explorer 256/512/768


    Hey,

    I like to navigate my media files in thumbnail view but didn't take to the changes made in vista & seven where the thumbnail is slightly skewed so as a work around to restore the view as shown in XP I convert folder images to .ico files 256x256 but have recently found new icon files I'm creating are 512x512 will 512 or 768 icons display better quality/definition in Windows Explorer or is Windows 10 the only operating system which makes use of them? Can I change a setting in Windows 7 to use higher resolution icon files what is the maximum they can use?

    Thanks in advanced

    Hi,
    256x is extra large icons size as far as I know :/
    If they're bigger I have no idea what will happen it might distort but all of this depends on what your dpi is set at,
    We'll assume is set as 100%
    Anything larger would increase the size of everything and every where
    DPI Display Size Settings - Change
