Those are all abysmal. Uninstall every single graphics manipulation program you have, right now. Christ those are bad. Really, really, really bad. Really bad. The shadows cut off on the bottom, and the edges are all aliased to hell. Just quit it. Stop it now.

Oh, and yes, I could do better.

Really now.

You could have offered pointers nicely: the edges could be aliased, and the shadows could be cropped in better, but they aren't awful. Room for improvement, yes, not "quit now" bad. Your icons aren't flawless, the shadow's opacity is at least 25-40% too high, blurring the bottom edge very badly. Lighten them up, and start your own thread.

Welcome to Neowin - we're a (mostly) civil place, stick around, you'll get the hang of it. Flaming isn't looked kindly upon here.

I registered for the sole purpose of berating those icons. I have fulfilled this purpose.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
