GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 747189
provide a scalable -symbolic variant of the app icon
Last modified: 2015-04-27 17:29:01 UTC
Starting with GNOME 3.16 we streamlined how high contrast icons are managed. The attached patch includes a symbolic variant of the app icon that is used for HC theme and recolorable at runtime. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/HighContrastAppIcons for more details.
Created attachment 300760 [details] [review] icon: provide a symbolic variant of the app icon since 3.16 the high contrast accessible theme is covered by the recolorable symbolic variant of the app icon
Review of attachment 300760 [details] [review]: Looks good to me. Please branch gnome-3-16 when you commit this.
note that we just added a symbolic/apps subdirectory to hicolor, to avoid the nominal size mismatch that occurs when you install size 16 symbolics in the size 128 scalable directory in hicolor.
Created attachment 300811 [details] [review] icon: provide a symbolic variant of the app icon since 3.16 the high contrast accessible theme is covered by the recolorable symbolic variant of the app icon. The symbolic size has been introduced to cope with the nominal size of 16x16 rather than the backward compatible hicolor 128x128.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
