Windows/NSIS: installerHeaderIcon is pixelated

See original GitHub issue
  • Version: 20.39.0
  • Target: Windows/NSIS/x64

The installerHeaderIcon appears pixelated/ugly. I didn’t specify one so I am assuming it’s using the application’s icon, which is a 512x512 png file that’s crystal clear:

icon-512x512

I tried reducing the icon size to 256x256 but it’s still pixelated in the end:

What’s the suggested size for the installerHeaderIcon? Is there a way to make it look clear and not pixelated?

I have this same issue, even when specifying the icon for the NSIS target to be a .ico file with multiple resolutions, is there a specific resolution that is required by NSIS?
