Yes you do to a certain extent.

But actually that's only if you want to play around with non default sizes,
it's fine with 16x16
one of the toolkits (gtk or qt) only ever renders a 16x16 Style Option
picture regardless of the chosen size, where as the other one will give
larger sizes.
so if you want bigger you need to stretch the rendered 16x16 image.

I was just showing a real way to honor the users toolkit preferences as
Jussi pointed out was an issue and you didn't seem to have the right answer.

but it's cool , I'm not actually making a control either and am just trying
to be clever too ;) lol

I don't even think bruce is making a custom control anymore either, he's
gone a completely different route now :D
🤣
