Subject: [PATCH] Decode launcher and tray icons at physical resolution

Quickshell's IconImage decodes at logical size, so on HiDPI displays
PNG icons were rendered from a texture at half the needed resolution
and looked blurry next to SVG icons. Use plain Image with sourceSize
scaled by Screen.devicePixelRatio, as the notification widgets
already do.
