I realize you would like to display icons in a variety of resolutions. So use pngs/ico/xbm files, svg textures are clearly too expensive.

Huh? Do you understand the difference between a vector and raster image format?

Its unfortunate that you simply write this off as an isolated incident. I would gather that many user are experiencing this issue but not reporting it.

You gather this using ESP?

I do choose to ignore other telling me it works find on their machine, because that doenst help me actually solve the problem now does it.

Let me paraphrase: "I choose to ignore other telling me it works because I am convinced I am right and everyone else is wrong and the fact that it doesn't work on my 3 machines is obviously more significant than that it works on 30 other machines."

I am more than happy to work towards a solution, when people stop claiming its a problem on my end and admit the software is faulty.

Good, I've committed code to the repository to switch to using raster icons as part of the experiment I did earlier, run from source code and see if that fixes it for you. At the moment I haven't decided whether I will stay with raster icons or switch back to svg, so your input will help me decide.
