Bug: Low DPI "Add" button

[Lamparter]

Description

This is probably a duplicate issue, but I've noticed that the little icon used for creating a new item is somewhat low-quality and should be better contrast. This is rather specifically in dark mode, but the issue is still apparent in light mode, just not as prevalently.

---

Surely a font icon like  would be appropriate here? The contrast of the dark icon and the dark app appearance makes the current icon feel slightly out of place...

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open any view
2. Look at the "Add..." button in the top left corner of the toolbar

Requirements

• See if this is a DPI scaling issue
• Consider replacing the icon with a different font icon

Thanks for the report, this is a known issue with WinUI 3 but the good news is a fix is being targeted for 1.7.

microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9338

How do you know about that fix in 1.7 please?

We still use 1.5 (it is the version of API framework we mainly use called WinAppSdk and we're having an issue with 1.6) and 1.7 will come out by the first half of 2025.

Yes. You mentioned though that microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9338 is to be fixed in WinAppSdk 1.7 but how do you know that?

[yaira2]

We received word from Microsoft that they had more work than anticipated for WinAppSdk 1.7, and consequently, several tasks have been deprioritized, including the issue with path rendering.
