Hello,
I realize there are numerous posts on it is best to use custom icons when using the Iconic autoindex but I have not seen what the recommended icon size for these icons.
http://photography.inmylens.com/galleries/birds/
I have selected 4 columns, aspect ratio of 5:4 with spacing at 20
On my desktop, google chrome, When I am full screen the icons are 263x210, perfect size
But as I make my browser narrower the columns go from 4 down to 1, makes sense
But each time the icon gets bigger
By the time they are one column wide the icon is 591 x516 (at it max size,which is when the columns just switch from 2 to 1)
Does this mean to have high quality icons I should be creating my custom icons at 600 x 480?
Seems kind of big.
Thanks
Brad

I make icons 2x the size I want them to be, as this keeps things looking nice on Retina displays (Macbooks, iPads, etc.). Because I know they will be scaled down in size, I am less concerned with artifacting, so I usually offset the larger dimensions by knocking JPG Quality down one tier.

Perfect, thank you Matthew, good to know my math works, I will double my icons from 300px to 600px with a lower image quality.
Thanks again
