Improving image quality of treeview icons?

I have a tree containing icons. The icons are ugly. and ugly, I mean low quality. and low quality, I mean what I expect to see from the dos program

I would hope that there would be a way to improve the image quality of the icons, but after inspecting the Microsoft development site, I have not yet found a solution.

honestly, at the moment I don’t even know what to look for. "Image quality" is too high for a search phrase (I got very random Google search results).

I use ImageList to save these icons in a TreeView . there really isn’t much code to show that it will be useful here - at least I don’t think so.

sorry for the boring question.

Is this what you are looking for?

The default value is set to 8 bits, so changing this property of your list will probably help. Essentially, just add the following line to your code:

 imagelist.ColorDepth = ColorDepth.Depth32Bit;

It can be improved. What you need to do is open it in Photoshop or gimp and redo it 3 times as much. Then recalculate it to 600 dpi and change it to 8 x 10. Note that I indicated to resize and reduce the size. You click on the pic. And the corners have a handle so that you can click it and take its size to a suitable size. Thus, the pixels are closer to each other.

Then you use a very soft blur, I mean very soft. The secret is when it is printed. We print from 600 to 1200 dpi, which will improve the image, and this is what the printer should remember. When you print on glossy paper with a resolution of 600 dpi, the pic comes out very beautifully and sharply.
