Blurry Text

Still using small icon sized image

Why is the text blurry ?

If the text is rendered into 32*32 pixels, then you get something blocky like this.

Text doesn't have to be pixelled, it is usually drawn in nice and crisp vecors. Seems you are in "pixel mode".
Check "view > pixel mode (CTRL+1)" to enable/disable pixel mode. But even if the pixel mode is off, sometimes it gets forced by some adjustment layer. But here I don't see any, so I guess its CTRL+1.

Can your system handle vector icons? Old windows icons were bitmaps, crisp vectors won't help you with that.

Have a fairly new machine, so no problem with vectors.

Turning off pixel mode fixed it.

I need to be more aware of the different types of layers ... just hasn't sunk in yet.
Making progress though.

Thanks for the details.
