GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 339989
Instant-apply of icon size change doesn't work reliably for Launch menu items.
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:24:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: Icons are not compliant with theme settings. Steps to reproduce: 1. Change gnome theme setting to high contrast inverse theme. 2. Click Theme Details button in theme preferences dialog. 3. In theme details dialog, select controls tab, set theme to high contrast large print inverse. 4. Select icons tab, set theme to high contrast inverse. Actual results: Icons of Desktop and Places in Launch menu are not compliant with theme settings. Icons on Desktop are not compliant with theme settings. Expected results: These icons should be compliant with gnome theme settings. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: This bug can be found on vermillion_39/snv_38.

To clarify: the problem is that many of the icons aren't large enough (though they are appropriate white on a black background).
Hi Peter, I also agree with your comment above, but I filed a bug #338975 in last build, the high contrast large print inverse theme of icon is missing in icon theme preferences dialog. So, I'd like to say all these icons should not be in large print style. Based on this bug, I think these icons should not be in large print. Thanks.
I can't seem to reproduce this with 2.14. Do you know which version of GNOME you are using?
This bug can be reproduced on Sun JDS vermillion build, that means this bug can be seen on gnome2.14. It's still visible now. When you choose the theme which I described in steps, you will notice that some of the icons are in large print view while others are not. Also, you could find this bug in lots of sub-menus, say All Applications which is in large print and Accessories, Developer Tools and so on which are in small print. Notice, the icon of Run Application is in large print.

Ah, I hadn't selected the HighContrastLargePrint GTK theme. I can reproduce the bug, but I'm not sure it is a theme problem. Possibly it's a panel bug. CCing Vincent for comments.
Missing icons aside, since there are a few icons which aren't HC at all, this problem is NOT with the theme itself as far as I am able to determine. If you restart the panel, all the icons should be the same size - it appears that when switching themes, not all icons sizing is updated until restart. This is may even be a gtk problem, but my initial guess would be the panel.

And would you please copy this bug to some panel developers for more investigations? We are looking forward to its fix. Thank you in advance!
I have updated panel and menus and icons, to cvs head, and the bug appears to be fixed. I can't find a changelog mentioning it. But I was working on the HC GTK+ themes and noticed it seems to be updating properly now. Check it out to make sure.
After verification with gnome2.16, this bug is still reproducible. Users have to restart the panel to change all the icons in launch menu to large print.
Hi Tim - The description and summary for this bug should, I think, be changed to be more specific. It's confusing to say the launch items are "not compliant" when in fact the items, if I read your summary correctly, are compliant... It seems to me that the problem you are describing is "Instant-apply of icon size change doesn't work reliably for Launch menu items." Am I correct? Also, if this is the remaining problem, its severity should be downgraded.
Hi Bill, Yes. That's the problem I filed for. Also changed the bug synopsis.
Re-assigning this one for the gnome-panel folks to look at, as it's not a bug with any particular theme.
This bug is not reproducible with gnome2.17.2, move it to fixed. Thanks for all of your great effort!
Comments, there's a new theme of HighContrastLargePrintInverse theme in theme maganer, it could avoid the problem of this bug description. I'd like to reopen this bug if they are different bugs. Sorry for the confusion!
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
