GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 544784
Frequency applet needs new icons
Last modified: 2020-11-06 19:56:40 UTC
When resizing the panel, the CPU Frequency applet icon should scale up/down. This does not currently happen. Will attach screeny

Yes, this is because we are using fixed size icons. We need new svg icons. (Adding Andreas to CC)

Lapo, did you have a newer version of these somewhere, or was that someone else?

Created attachment 130973 [details] cpufreq-applet icons by perfectska04 package put them into /usr/share/pixmaps/cpufreq-applet
maybe some of you know them already but there are some really nice and modern icons for the cpufreq applet in the icon theme GNOME-colors [0] by perfectska. i'm sure the author still has the svg resources and can make vector icons for this applet. i attached a preview and the icons so you don't have to download the whole pack.

Martin: the style of the new icons looks good to me, we need more sizes though. Do you have the sources (svg's) as well?
Andreas: no i don't have svg sources but i already contacted the author (perfectska04). anyway it seems the icons are originally by another guy: http://www.michelem.org/2007/05/22/tangoish-gnome-applets-cpufreq-and-sensors-with-tango-icons/ there's also an icon for the About dialog. btw: this link is from the duplicate bug #555794 and the blog entry is from may 2007...
I think they might even originate from William Szilveszter, but I can't tell for sure. http://lokheed.deviantart.com/art/Tango-GNOME-Core-Image-Pack-38422263 I'm afraid the origins and copyright of these icons are a bit too shady for us to consider them. Better to draw new ones (and in several sizes, and what the bug is actually about).
They are originally from William Szilveszter, yes. But I'm not sure what the license is. I think they might be CC-By-SA 2.5.
