Hi there! I understand you’re seeing an enlarged Talkie app icon every time you log in, and it’s bothering you. Let’s get this fixed for you. Just to make sure I’m on the right track: is the issue that the app icon itself is huge on your desktop or taskbar after logging in? Or is that enlarged icon something that appears inside the app once you’ve logged in?

Once I know that, I’ll guide you through some steps to adjust it.

Thanks for confirming! So, the Talkie app icon itself shows up enlarged on your device after you log in, and that’s what you want to fix.

Since you’re on Windows 10 using WebKit browser, here’s what we can check and try step-by-step:

1. Check Desktop Icon Size
- Right-click on an empty space on your desktop (or wherever the Talkie icon appears).
- Hover over “View” in the menu.
- Make sure “Medium icons” or “Small icons” is selected instead of “Large icons.”
- This should change all desktop icons’ size including Talkie’s.

2. If the icon is pinned to Taskbar
- Right-click the Talkie icon on the taskbar.
- Right-click “Talkie” from the pop-up.
- Choose “Properties” > In the Shortcut tab, click "Change Icon" and verify the icon file isn’t a high-res or oversized image.
- Sometimes corrupted or oversized icon files can cause strange scaling.

3. Display Scaling Settings
- Go to Windows Settings > System > Display
- Under “Scale and layout,” check if your scaling is set above 100% (like 125% or 150%). Higher scale values enlarge things including icons.
- You can try setting it back to 100% and see if the icon size adjusts.

4. Clear Icon Cache (Advanced)
If the above doesn’t help, the icon cache might be corrupted, causing weird sizes.
- Press Windows key + R, type %localappdata% and press Enter
- Open the Microsoft\Windows\Explorer folder
- Delete files starting with iconcache (like iconcache.db)
- Restart your PC to rebuild the icon cache.

Try these steps and let me know if the Talkie icon size changes or if it remains enlarged. We can go deeper if needed!
