Scaling smileys in article display

Scaling smileys in article display

[Adam Sjøgren]

  Hi,

I use:

  (setq smiley-style 'medium)

but with 4K displays on laptops these days 16x16 pixels is _very_ small.

Is there a way to scale them up?

I've tried modifying smiley-update-cache, adding both :scale 4.0 and
:width 64 :height 64 to the call to gnus-create-image, but it doesn't
seem to take.

I could draw some larger ones, but...

(I'm almost certain I've asked this before, but I can't find anything in
my configuration about it.)

  Best regards,

    Adam

It seems like xpm images doesn't support scaling?

(insert-image (create-image "~/src/emacs/trunk/etc/images/smilies/wry.xpm" nil nil :scale 20.0))

I thought all Emacs image formats supported scaling these days...

Ahhhhhhh, _that's_ why! Now I feel simultaneously less and more dumb.

Hm, wait a minute, maybe it worked waaaaaaaaaaay back in the crashy
ImageMagick-days, and now - with the internal scaling - it doesn't?

I seem to remember the smileys not being miniscule, even on hidpi
screens some [unspecified] time ago, at least.

Ah, that seems likely.  But it seems like a bug that xpm images aren't
scaled, I think.

Agreed. Should I file a bug or have you already done so?

Done:

 · https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38109

I found that while XPMs aren't scaled, GIF are scaled, but PNGs get a
larger canvas, but the actual image isn't scaled - so three different
outcomes for three different image types!

Maybe I should do a git pull and rebuild Emacs, just to make sure that
it's not because I haven't for a couple of weeks.

I did that now.

The result is that the images are now consistently... not scaled!
