Bug ID: 161157
Summary: Request to make SVG based Theme the default (auto)
upon fresh install to avoid pixelation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

I have been installing LibreOffice on a fresh Windows 11 PC and found that the
default selected icon theme caused the menu bar icons to be pixelated.
Trying to find out why, I stumbled across this entry:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/tool-bar-icon-appearance-blocky-can-it-be-fixed/45468
Describing that it can be fixed by switching the Theme to an SVG based one.
Did that - worked (fixed things) for me.
So I am wondering - why is SVG based not the default anyway.
Looking at this tracker, I found at least one issue with SVG themes.
Nevertheless, there is obviously also issues with non-SVG.
And as SVG conceptually would be a better choice for "always works in any
resolution/screen/scaling situation", I wanted to ask if SVG could be a
sensible default setting for the future.
In the end, a neat (or crappy) UI is the first thing any user sees after
installtion. It is the first impression. It should be as neat as possible.
