Do you have a high dpi display? Could be related to that. Could also be the theme from your DE, try setting a different theme with qt5ct or using KDE
No. I don't have a High DPI Display. It's definitely not that. I mean the weekly builds AppImage works perfect.

I think there are some cmake flags that need to be passed. I remember seeing something recently by @wmayer but need to search the forum for it
I went through the last 30 pages of his posts and couldn't find it. Perhaps it's even further back, but man, would it help if we had the ability to tag users in the forum
I like making, breaking and modding stuff, using a soldering iron, code or both. https://ifohancroft.com

It's 2022 and we're still waiting on that @mention functionality in the forum :facepalm:
Sorry. I forgot to report back. This doesn't solve the issue.

Yea, it definitely doesn't offer inspiration and requires long-term perseverance...But thankfully i like FreeCAD too much to be deterred
Oh, yeah. Definitely. Also, phpBB is generally awesome, despite some shortcomings.

BTW, there are now Snap packages that are 'edge' versions of both FreeCAD master and Realthunder's LinkDaily
See Snap wiki page
edit: they are compiled nightly and the download is a delta diff (like appimage) and happens in the background. https://github.com/ppd/freecad-ppd
Thank you! I am not a fan of Snaps, Flatpacks, etc, but that's good to know that it's an option and obviously, the more the better.

I really doubt there's a cmake flag related to icon display, I do not remember anything of the sort before.
Does using a stylesheet have any effect? The fact that the appimage works is not proof that it's not theme related, on my end (archlinux with KDE) the Appimage uses a very different theme than the one my system uses (although it keeps the color scheme) because my theme is not included in the Appimage, instead it uses one that is built-in from qt (fusion). GTK based DEs like mate and xfce usually set the qt theme using an extension that tries to mimic the GTK2 theme but it has always been buggy. Try installing qt5ct and see what theme is set, if it's set to gtk2 that could be the culprit, try using fusion or install the breeze theme.

I'll play with qt5ct later today, but I forgot to mention that yes. I tried changing the stylesheet, not just the desktop environment's dpi setting and FreeCAD's toolbar size setting. It didn't help.
