    Question Lower res (bitmap) command button pictures?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded my VM from Windows 7 to Windows 10- though still using the same .accdb database as before - and noticed that the built-in images (e.g.: for embedded pictures on a Command button) look much more 'lo-resolution' than before.. Though only when creating new command buttons. In other words, the embedded pictures on the existing buttons (that I setup several months ago) still look the same. The actual selection of pictures appear to be the same as well, but each one looks a lot more crude than what I remember. I've attached a screenshot with an example; on the left-hand side is a picture of an existing button with the "Key" picture embedded. On the right-hand side is what the picture of the key looks like if I go to modify that button.
    Also, I noticed for the existing buttons with the 'higher-res' pictures, the Property Window lists the Picture as (image). I'm not sure what type of image file was associated to those (.jpeg?), but the new lo-res ones are bitmap/.bmp.

    Any help/information would be appreciated.


    Thanks!

    forgot the pictures?
    The old ones were usually wmf or bmp files I think
