Description Roger Checa 2024-02-14 17:00:49 CET
Some malfunctions in the systray
Cauldron Plasma 6 - QT 6

- The "mgaapplet" is not listed in the params/entries of the systray.
When an udate is available, the applet does appear (and works), but when the update is finished, the applet disappears again.
Even when the applet is present and you mark it "always present", it doesn't remain in the entries.

- Themes choosen with the desktop lead changes with the icons in the systray.
Using "Breeze" almost all icons are correct, except what we underlined up here with the "magaapplet", and also, the "netapplet" which is blur.
Using "Oxygen" several original icons are missing (or blur) and replaced by unindentified ones.

Last point: right-click taskbar-Edit Mode-hover Systray (called Taskbar)-Configure-Taskbar settings-Entries-Mgaapplet offers choice of visibility.
It seems to be 'when relevant' rather than 'always'.

Please attach if you can screenshots showing these differences.

"When relevant" is the behaviour when "always" is marked.
It should be possible to have the icon appearing permanently into the taskbar, just as in KDE 5...

A very refined image - a lot of work

The Oxygen icons are clearly a default for the real ones presumed missing (shown correctly with Breeze). A not uncommon fault, but needs correcting.

You comment the Netapplet icon as "blurred & wrong size". This is subtle beyond my perception when looking at my own equivalent icon. Let's drop that one.

BTAIM can you please raise a separate bug for this icon issue, since it is quite unrelated to the Mgaapplet persistence issue. To minimise work just refer back to https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32847#c2, and title the bug something like 'missing Oxygen systray icons'.

This is what I meant to express, but I was not clear...

Assigning this to Plasma group.

Hi,

Icons are often "blur" when they are inserted with a wrong size : for example  24x24 in stead of 128x128...
Also the the mgaapplet is blur when it appears.

Not quite sure to understand what to declare with a new bug. Anyway done!
Comment 6 Roger Checa 2024-03-03 15:51:32 CET
Hi,

When working under "wayland" (in stead of "X11") 2 remarks :
1st) => The mgaapplet does appear permanently into the systray, when marked "always". => Correct behaviour (no bug).
2nd) => The blur aspect of some icons (including magaapplet) has disappeared. => correct aspect (no bug).
Nevertheless some icons are still missing in the systray, under "Oxygen" theme.

Comment 7 Lewis Smith 2024-03-03 20:05:40 CET
As for 'blurring' of the magaapplet icon, comment 6 says that is no longer the case.
A clarification please:
Does the corrected blurring of the mgaapplet icon apply to both X11 and Wayland?
It could be OK under Wayland, blurred for X11.

Comment 8 Roger Checa 2024-03-03 20:55:18 CET
Confirming : Blurring under "X11" => OK under "wayland"

Plus => concerning mgaapplet :
1/ present in the systray under "wayland" => absent under "X11"
2/ neat icon under "wayland" => blurred under "X11"

Other missing icons => no change under "wayland" or "X11" (reminding : oxygen)
