My WPF icons are displayed very small

Question

My WPF icons are displayed very small, as you can see in this image, can you please suggest what could be the problem? I tried to find some properties related to size but no success.

Answer 1

One problem could be the bitmap's resolution. Open the bitmap for example in Paint.NET and in the Resize Bitmap dialog check whether it is 72DPI or 96DPI. A large ribbon bitmap should be 32x32 Pixels at 96 DPI.

By the way, in your screenshot the bitmaps actually look ok. What makes you think they are too small?

Answer 2

WPF uses an unusual resolution of 96 dpi... I'm guessing that your images have not been saved at this resolution.
