GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 469902
Empathy icons are not available in a consitent set of sizes/formats
Last modified: 2010-06-15 11:37:51 UTC
Hi, For example empathy-new-message is available in 16x16 and 22x22. While empathy-availabe is 16x16 and scalable. This cause my panel to start jumping when a new message comes in. As the normal available icon is scaled as big as my panel supports, while the new-message icon is show at 22x22.. Which makes my panel resize itself.. Sjoerd
I don't have SVG for all icons. Maybe some tango artists can help here?
Who is the author of empathy-new-message.png and empathy-message.png? Maybe we can CC someone to help us here, as have panel acting weird when you receive a new message is very annoying.
I would appreciate to have svg and png for all icons and sizes, I need the help of inkscape gurus for that, I have no idea how it works.

Btw, scalable icons should be at least >=48x48, it seems it's not the case of all svg icons with _scalable_ name, that need to be fixed.
Why just not use the same icons as pidgin? They are clean, simple and tango!
I would vote to get general IM icons into the icon naming spec. http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html Some of them like status of users (idle, away, online, etc) are already in the spec
ulisse made some nice icons a while back. maybe those can be completed und put in g-i-t? http://ulipo.altervista.org/tango/user-statuses.tar.gz

I partly fixed this bug by adding 22x22, 24x24 and 48x48 PNGs for status icons. The status icon does not resize anymore. However we still need SVGs for im-message, im-message-new and im-user-typing.
my disconnected status icon is blurry... (available and busy are ok)
Created attachment 140076 [details] empathy-status-icons.png The status icons in the "gnome-colors" icon theme[1]. Available in scalable, 16x16, and 22x22. [1]: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors
Empathy now uses status icon from gnome-icon-theme. Remaining icons which are not available in all sizes are the message and message-new icons: bug #615753 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 615753 ***
