Research direction

Start with src/Files.App.Controls/ThemedIcon/Styles/Icons.SizeLayout.xaml and the LayoutGridAction.Glyph reference. Add the Grid icon using the four-block geometry specified in the issue, then update the glyph to reference it. Build and verify that the grid icon renders correctly at 16px.

Description

area - toolbar

In the View tab, the Grid layout button is expected to look like four equal blocks, matching the other layout icons.

Environment: Files 4.2.9.0, Windows 11.

Notes: checked the other layout icons, only Grid seems affected.

Proposed fix:

  • Add App.ThemedIcons.IconLayout.Grid in src/Files.App.Controls/ThemedIcon/Styles/Icons.SizeLayout.xaml with 4 blocks: (1.75,1.75), (9.25,1.75), (1.75,9.25), (9.25,9.25), outline r=1.25 with inner core r=0.5, filled r=1.25, Alt layer r=1.0.
  • Update LayoutGridAction.Glyph to reference App.ThemedIcons.IconLayout.Grid instead of App.ThemedIcons.IconSize.Small.

Testing:
Built and tested locally (FilesDev 4.2.37.0) — grid icon renders correctly at 16px.
