so Im running windows 10 pro and when I set the window to detailed view the vlc icons are clearly cropped and not using the full space of the icon making them look too small

here is an image for clarity of the problem

as you can see the red area is icon space that can be used by the icon but that area is unnocupied causing the icon to be scaled down

as you see the folder icon does not have that problem

If anyone knows a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it thanks!

This is what the Details view looks like on my system.

Actually, I can't see your image due to imgur being difficult and refusing access (probably due to my security settings). Would you mind uploading it again to the same one I've used here which is https://postimages.org/ It's fast and free.

This might be a Windows scaling issue. I encountered the same problem when I first bought my laptop back in 2014 and experimented with the screen resolution options to make text bigger or smaller.

It took me a while and here's a pix showing how mine is setup. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080.

Setting scaling to 134% of normal and Title bars to 11 seemed to do the trick.

By the way, I didn't avail myself of the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 10 at the time and therefore I'm still using Win 8.1
