Re: Crystal Icons
by Evan "JabberWokky" E. on Thursday 17/Nov/2005, @09:57
Yes, but physical screen size has no direct correlation to size of icons without factoring in resolution.

Which is to say - your future 14.1" screen with a 4000x3000 resolution will need large icons (around 128px) to have them be the same size as today's medium icons (around 32px). Physical screen size will likely maintain a range of sizes to suit the consumer's taste, but resolution tends to always increase. Thus large icon sizes satisfy increasing resolutions on any physically sized screen from your small laptop to large widescreen displays.
