Raymond Chen has a blog post about the format of the icon resources [1]. If we do that, we will handle all the scaling ourselves and will be able to define our own algorithm for choosing the closest match. As explained in LookupIconIdFromDirectoryEx [2], LoadIcon and LoadImage “use this function to search the specified resource data for the icon… that best fits the current display device.”> [1] https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20120720-00/?p=7083

Did any body check that the approach from the blog post works?
