That's an understatement. SVG icons are currently absolutely atrocious. The
first problem is that LO uses odd icon resolution (25x25), so the lines are
not pixel aligned on export and are blurred/aliased. The second problem is
that with Opengl/Skia enabled, the GPU driver applies some
antialiasing/smoothing on top of that and it ends up looking absolutely
hideous, at least on latest AMD / Intel drivers. No such problems with the
PNG icons or with GDI rendering.
