Track Icons

Post by silveralex »

OK, I love the new track icons feature in Mixcraft 10.

I have noticed a minor glitch.
I tend to use my own images (color pics of instruments mostly) and sometimes when I dock/undock or otherwise change the size of the mixer window, some (not all) of the rack icon pics are sized so small I can barely see them.

It seems to correct if I restart or reload the project.

Hi,

What kind of image files are they? How big are they, pixel-wise?

Hi,

The icons that come with Mixcraft 10 are .svg files, which means that they are vector graphics and can scale up to look good, even in high definition. Png files (and .jpg, .bmp, etc) are made up of pixels instead of vectors, and small images will look jagged if they are scaled up too much.

Yes, I understand . But what I’m seeing is the icons work fine normally but get much smaller on occasion . I’ll try to get a pic

Hi,

I tried it with a123x123 png and a 70x70 png and I'm not noticing anything unusual. If it only happens with certain images, you could send one of the troublesome images into support so we can check it out.
