Codex App sidebar icons look blurry after latest update on Retina display #30340

Description

@ZhongBintao

What version of the Codex App are you using (From "About Codex" dialog)?

26.623.42026 (build 4514)

Bundled CLI: codex-cli 0.142.3

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

macOS 26.5.1 (25F80), built-in Liquid Retina Display, 2880 x 1864 Retina

What issue are you seeing?

After updating to the latest Codex App version, the icons in the left sidebar look visibly blurry/low-resolution on a Retina display.

The affected icons include the top-level sidebar actions such as New Chat, Search, Scheduled, Plugins, and the project/thread icons below them. The adjacent text appears comparatively sharper, so this looks like the icons may be rendered with a low-resolution raster asset or with the wrong high-DPI/device-pixel-ratio scaling.

The UI language is Chinese, but the issue appears to be with icon rendering rather than translated text.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex App 26.623.42026 on macOS with a built-in Retina display.
  2. Keep the left sidebar visible.
  3. Look at the sidebar icons for New Chat, Search, Scheduled, Plugins, and project/thread rows.
  4. Compare the icon sharpness against nearby text and against the previous app version.

The issue appeared after updating to the current/latest Codex App version.

What is the expected behavior?

Sidebar icons should render sharply on Retina/high-DPI displays, with no visible blur or low-resolution scaling artifacts.

Additional information

A screenshot was captured at 2534 x 1628, 144 DPI. I did not attach the full screenshot because it contains private sidebar project/thread names, but I can provide a cropped screenshot of the navigation icons if helpful.
