Images for StatusStrip

Question

I search Internet and get several images download. Then use the below to add them on StatusStripItems of Powershell Form as below:

$statusstrip1.Items.Add('Text', [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile('c:\image.png'))

I found the images show poor quality. Is it the issue of image size? If so, what is the right pixel size? Thanks.

Answer 1

The "images" should be icons, not full-on graphics. So probably one of these dimensions (depending on screen resolution):

128 x 128 pixels  
96 x 96 pixels  
180 x 180 pixels  
72 x 72 pixels  
64 x 64 pixels  
24 x 24 pixels  

Answer 2

Hi Ian3-9218,

The ImageScalingSize property may help with the image quality.
