Or maybe, safer:

1. >= 3  then  3x
2. >= 2  then  2x
3. Otherwise 1x

This way you are sure that the icon will fit the fringe. And anyway
intermediate resolutions won't usually be 1.9x but 1.5x  instead
(although experimental fractional scaling configuration dialogs
currently offer 1.25x and 1.75x).
