I found the only way to make the icons look exactly the same as Finder
was to make new images that had _only_ the pre-rendered representation
at 16 and 32... it seems letting quartz select the best representation
doesn't work very well.

I have a file browsing application in the works and it grabs the icon

the subject) is that the icon looks like crap. The current size is
30x30
and the image sizes proportionally. I think that the problem might be
as
simple as changing that size, but I don't know what size to change it
to. It may be more complex than this as well, so whatever information
you can give will be appreciated. I am a newbie that's getting to be
pretty intermediate.
I'm mucking about with something similar right now, and have found that
icon-dimensions in multiples of 16 look a lot less poopy, and most
especially the 'standard' sizes of small (16), large (32), huge (64),
and utterly ridiculous, much bigger than any nail on any thumb I've
ever seen, (128). I'm not sure how big the row-gutter on the tableView
is, so you may need to aim a few pixels higher. How the Finder keeps
its icons so silky smooth at any size eludes me.
What I did, not a very wonderful way, was, in the drawing method of the
IconAndTextCell from the DragNDropOutlineView example, to cause the
icon to resize to the nearest 16-multiple of the cell-frame's height,
and it looks pretty good. The relevant code:
*snip*
But I'd like to do it better, if anyone has any thoughts.
Good luck, and may all the Cocoa file browsers of the world one day
rise up against their Carbon progenitor and oppressor, that the Finder
may become Lost amidst its stronger children,
