[Qgis-developer] Layers and Browser dock widget icons

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi Matthias,

I'm not understanding that referenced calculation. The fixed number you
multiply the dpi against is platform-specific, yes?

I would be interested in a Qt4-based black box function to manage this
high-rez scaling.

For reference, though a bit dated:
