AutoCAD Architecture 2023 - Icon small size in drop down menu

I'm in the process of finalizing our .cuix file for AutoCAD Architecture 2023.
I've added numerous drop down menus. For some of these menus, I have specified the small icon size (16x16) for each command,
but when the drop-down is activated, AutoCAD displays the icons as 32x32 instead.
It takes the 16x16 image and displays it at 2x size, which doesn't look good.

Is this a bug? If not, what can I do to resolve this problem?

 

Thank you.

2 image sizes are supported.  Add a 32x32 pixel image file for the large image.

@pphamTTMHH You cannot force those specific elements to be anything else AFAIK. Sorry.

Put back or create 32x32 icons for them.

Like I said, you've used the 16x16 pixel image for both small and large images.  You can certainly do that but it seems pointless to do so against recommendations and then say that the pixels are too large or the icon is too small.  The system is designed to display at 2 resolutions.  You're hobbling the display.  Nuff said.

I updated for 16x16 and 32x32 images but still can't solve this issue.

The last screen captures show the same image file being used for both.  BTW, just making a copy of the image file and changing the name won't make it behave differently.  You need to literally create 2 versions with a paint program.

Thanks.  What is your screen resolution?  When you enter "make text bigger" at the start button, what is the magnification factor?  I'm not sure whether these matter.  Just guessing.  If the physical size of your screen is large but the resolution is small, then the small icons might be chosen but appear too large.  If the font size is chosen to be bigger, then it generally blows up icons also.

It seems some of it is not from your previous screenshot
