Originally created by @carlos-zamora on GitHub (Jan 28, 2026).

I hit this problem pretty regularly whenever I'm working with icons (especially in the settings UI).

IconPathConverter::IconWUX() is a really powerful function that we use throughout the codebase to convert an icon path/code into an actual icon UI. However, we explicitly set the size of the icon on the way out. This was great when it was introduced because it meant that the icons in the dropdown, tabs, etc. all had the correct size. But as the project has grown to use those icons elsewhere (namely in the Settings UI), this has become a huge pain. Icons aren't always drawn to be the same size, especially if they're coming from different sources (i.e. hardcoded font icon vs evaluated icon in profile).

I'd update it whenever I hit the problem, but it's realistically a fundamental enough change that it will have side effects. I'd rather have it be its own change and audit the app to make sure it doesn't break anything.

@dtee1 we do not typically assign open issues to contributors, especially those who are new to the project. It makes it easier on us in the future as we don't need to clean up stale assignments down the road. 🙃
