Application icon on desktop looks ugly

Question

I use a big icon (256) for my WPF application icon. I can see it very nice if I place it on my vista desktop. Also in application window and in taskbar application looks OK:
But when I add a shortcut or my application.exe on destop, icon looks very ugly.
Where is the problem. How could I fix this?

Thanks for help in advance!

Answer 1

Maybe try adding other smaller sizes (16x16, 32x32) to your icon so the system doesn't have to scale it.

I added also 128, 64, 48, 32, 24 and 16 sizes and now everything works OK.
