ALT-TAB Application Icon Pixelated

Question

When a child window of my application is opened and I view the ALT-TAB menu, the application icon looks pixellated. I assume that Windows uses a low resolution version of the icon (16x16 pixel I think). What can I do that Windows selects the right version which would be 32x32 pixel?

I assigned an icon to the window in question that has 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x38 and 256x256 in true color. Please note that VS says in the proterties that 32x32 is used and that it works fine for the main window of my application where I assigned the exact same icon.

Answer 1

Fixed the problem. I put the icon on the wrong form. As I don't think that this question will be of any help for anybody feel free to delete it.

Answer 2

Hey, I am facing a similar problem. Please explain your solution. I have built my application in Qt.

Answer 3

All he's saying is that he was using a good 32x32 icon on the main form of his application but had not applied that to the child window and so it was still using a 16x16 icon, which made it look pixelated in the ALT-TAB view.
