#626 scaled icons in menu and taskbar are ugly

[Roman Stanchak]

Fluxbox appears to scale icons associated with menu
items and toolbar tasks using a nearest-neighbor
algorithm. IMHO, these should either *not* be scaled
up to fit the available space or scaled using some
sort of interpolation algorithm.

I'm using 1.0rc1.

Maybe adding an option somewhere to avoid scaling would be
nice.

Maybe also allowing the style/theme file to specify the
desired icon size.

I agree, these icons are not generated very often, so I
think it would definitely be worth scaling them properly.

Perhaps the same rule should be applied to pixmaps in
styles? Would be useful for people who like their window
title heights to stay the same across themes.

This is not as easy as it seems, interpolation is easy (I even made a quick hack that uses bicubic resampling), but the main issue is that the mask that is used to define which parts are transparent doesn't support any mid-opacity, only plain opaque/invisible.

Doing this properly would require to change the way fluxbox renders those pixmaps.
