Icon problem in Maya 2018

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a question, why the icon couldn't be scaled in Maya 2018 ? However, it works well in Maya 2017.

What's going on?

Hi @Anonymous

I believe this was caused from a design change with the toolbars in 2018.

It's possible as well it may be due to the image size of the icons which is why some of the icons scale a bit better than others.

While this isn't a bug or a critical issue, I highly recommend posting this on the Maya Idea Board!

Hi,

I appreciate your help, thank you!

But I couldn't fix it.

Hi @Anonymous

Out of curiosity, can you try opening the image in a photo editing software like Ms paint or Photoshop and make the icons a bit larger to see if anything changes?

This will let me know if its a possible problem with Maya just not scaling icons or it could be they just simply need to be a bit larger.

Let me know how that goes for you!

Hi @sean.heasley,

Well, I have scaled it even much larger but nothing changed.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi @Anonymous

Hmm ok then this is most likely a change that occurred between 2017 and 2018 with how it reads icons for custom shelves etc.

Since it isn't technically a bug, I highly recommend posting this on the Maya Idea Board!
