TaskBarIcon is blurry compared to AppWindow.SetIcon

The proper method to use would be LoadIconMetric, for both large and small icons. This should make it DPI aware as well. Alternatively, WinUIEx could migrate to AppWindow.SetIcon of course.

Can you not pass the large icon size by using GetSystemMetricsForDpi

or use LoadIconMetric this will require adding to the manifest

    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity
          type="win32"
          name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
          version="6.0.0.0"
          processorArchitecture="*"
          publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
          language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
