WHY are Custom Guizmo Icons Ugly? AKA Unity, what are you doing to my PNG file?

    Same PNG file, tried other file formats, compression levels, all import settings, same result:

    In Gimp:
    upload_2021-1-8_13-35-57.png
    upload_2021-1-8_13-38-7.png

    In Unity 2019.4.16 import preview:
    upload_2021-1-8_13-36-46.png
    upload_2021-1-8_13-37-41.png

    In the scene view:
    upload_2021-1-8_13-40-56.png

    No matter what I try, it doesn't seem possible to get crispy clean gizmo icons like the built in ones and there isn't any mention of how its done in the manual.

    Please unity, how do we fix this? How do YOU do it?

    Thank you.

    PS.: Where is the forum specific to Editor UI and Asset development?

    NOTE: Before anyone mentions the "Compressed DXT5" text in the images, disabling it changes nothing, afaik I tried every setting.
