icon resolution too low

[BeBeepBOOPbot]

i dident put this as posible problem sence i think this might have to do with another program

i made a rofi script that changes the wallpaper and has icons of the wallpapers using something like " echo -en "app\0icon\x1f/home/path/to.png" | rofi -dmenu -show-icons " to get the icons and i wanted to make the icons for the difrent wallpapers around 256px x 144px and the icons do show but when i make them that big they look blury like there too low resolution (and they dont actualy go up to that size but thats a difrent problem). i know its posible to get higher resalution icons/images through difrent means cause of gh0stzk's dotfiles and the HyDE dotfiles but im not advanced enough to figure that stuff out on my own

i think the problem is that because of the way i get the icons they cant get that big but idk

if this problem dosent have a solution then could someone atleast point me in the right direction so i can make a better script like the ones in HyDE and gh0stzk's dotfiles

sorry if spelling is bad and thanks to anyone who respons to my question

but when i make them that big they look blury

How do you make them big? normally rofi should load them and scale them to the specified icon size. It should not get blurry.
I don't use the highest quality scaler (I think) but it should still look good enough. Especially when they are scaled down.

Also what version of rofi?

[DaveDavenport]

rofi -show filebrowser -show-icons -filebrowser-directory ./ -theme-str 'element-icon {size: 256;} listview {columns: 4; lines: 3; }'

or

for a in *.jpg; do echo -ne "$a\0icon\x1f${PWD}/$a\n"; done | rofi -dmenu -show-icons -theme-str 'element-icon {size: 256;} listview {columns: 4; lines: 3; }'

i just relised what it was, i put px at the end of the size variable cause im use to writing css but when i left it out it fixed it. it seems like a weird problem though

sorry for the truble and thanks for the help

[DaveDavenport]

Odd, that should not make a difference, as the default unit is px. For me adding 'px' after 256 does not change it.

happy that it is fixed though.
