In my case, the app "Files" and photo album creation tool "Hofmann" are displaying the icons tiny.

Not sure if this is a fault at their end or in the switcher.

window-switcher extracts icons from the application's exe file. If the exe file does not meet the specifications and the included icon is too small, the issue shown in the above image will occur.

I have never encountered this problem before.A competent software developer should not release applications like it.

Solved in #145

FWIW, I noticed this with Windows 10's builtin help viewer hh.exe, which many apps (e.g. 7-zip, AutoHotKey) use to display their *.chm help files.

It probably wouldn't look very nice, but maybe it would be possible just to upscale icons of this smaller size instead of just drawing them at their original size? Otherwise I guess users would just have to do the scaling manually and use the override from #145 ?

Also not sure if it's relevant, but I am using a high-DPI display with scaling set to 175% (although I see the same behavior on a regular display with 100% scale).
