I wonder what the point of SVG icons are.
Why are they better than simple images used as buttons?
I have tried reading up on them, and tried to use them, but it seems more trouble than they are worth.
Obviously, I am missing something.

Yes, you are missing something.

Import a little image (maybe 100*100 px) into your stack and scale it to the size of the stack.
Then do the same with an SVG icon.

If you scale a pixel image, it will get quite pixelated at a certain point.
SVG ("Scalable Vector Graphic", the magic word is VECTOR) do not, like all Vector graphics.

Thank you, I understand. I am familiar with vector graphics.
It seemed like the bar they were in had particular significance.
