GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304995
The volume-applet icon does not scale properly.
Last modified: 2006-08-08 23:00:31 UTC
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/11031 "The volume-applet icon does not scale properly when the panel is resized - it's blurry. It displays at 16x16 on first boot but if the panel size is changed, the icon "zooms" to 24x24 and is blurry even if the size of the panel is reduced back to the original size. It appears that there are no icons larger than 24x24 in the hicolor icon folder. Dropping larger icons in place of the default icons doesn't work as the icon is "zoomed" and only shows a small section of the larger icon. This is reproducable every time."
This is really annoying. Can't it just be reverted to the icon that was in gnome 2.8 ?
I will be creating larger sizes. The old icon wasn't executed well.
can it be SVG somehow?
one size fits all does not work for gnome icon style. menu and toolbar size icons need to be bitmaps.
Jakub, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308160 reports that someone is unhappy with this icon because at small sizes, it's unclear what it really represents (e.g., double-click the mixer applet in your panel and look at the icon of the newly started mixer in the taskbar). Can you look at that also?

Bug 308160 is not a dup. it is about the icon of the app (the volume-button-on-a-stereo like thing). this bug is about the icon on the applet itself.

I just noticed the 24x24 version doesn't seem to be used, only the 16x16?

hmmk, neither does the new 32x32px size seem to get picked up.
Rodney, I just noticed the stock icons get installed to hicolor as well (and that lacks a proper index.theme). Is that the cause for these troubles perhaps? Is there a reason these go to hicolor or was it me again? ;)
icondir = $(datadir)/icons/hicolor/$(iconsize)/$(category)/$(subtype) (in your Makefile.am)
I'm going to leave this open because we should still have a scalable version for panels larger than 32 px, since we have to be able to handle arbitrarily sized panels.
Will do. Rodney, all the other stock icons go to hicolor now as well, I guess that's a bug too?
I think this bug can be closed, the icon is not blurry any more.
There are scalable icons in cvs now as well, so yes, we can close this.
