I'm using Arch Linux with MATE 1.20, and have the elementary-xfce-icons package from AUR installed. I have export GDK_SCALE=2 in my ~/.xprofile. On my desktop, icons for Computer and most files look quite noticeably larger than the folder icons, which are adequately sized. In fact, these over-sized icons are nearly twice the size they should be. Replacing Type=Scalable with Type=Fixed for non-symbolic icons in index.theme seems to solve the problem.

@wildptr Does this affect all kinds of icons and contexts..?
Setting all of them to Fixed may also have other unwanted side-effects. I would at least want to leave certain sizes at Scalable...

Symbolic icons seem unaffected. I'm not sure about contexts other than Application. I haven't observed unwanted side-effects yet...

Add HiDPI scaling support for high resolution displays
2c188b5 
Add an optional --hidpi configure flag to allow installing
as a fully SVG theme, with an updated index.theme for HiDPI
support. This will be seen when Scaling is set to 2x or 3x.

Fixes issues where wrong icons are shown in some places with
scaling enabled (like the Places sidebars in file managers),
and blurry icon issues, especially with scaling enabled.
The PNG non-HiDPI theme also restricted the amount of zoom
steps the icons had with scaling enabled, so this should
resolve that as well.

Add HiDPI theme for better scaling, hi-res displays
73d54d1 
Install SVG-based HiDPI theme alongside the PNG-based theme.
This should be used for better icon scaling, specifically when
Scaling is set to 2x or 3x. PNG may be a bit faster to load,
so the SVG HiDPI theme is optional.

Using the HiDPI theme will fix issues where the wrong icons are shown in
some places with scaling enabled (like the Places sidebars in file managers).
It should also fix and blurry icon issues, especially with scaling enabled.
The PNG non-HiDPI theme restricted the amount of zoom steps the icons had
in file managers with scaling enabled, so this should resolve that as well.
