Is this some more gtk+3.0 fun?

Hi,

I also have the same problem with mgaapplet icon.

Best regards,

Nico.

LXDE i586 standard desktop - no tweaks

re-assigning to Thierry, because mgaapplet in LXDE has the same behaviour, and also because blino told me at Fosdem that he no longer maintains drakx-net (he intends to remove himself as drakx-net maintainer)

sorry, hit the wrong key by accident. I meant it is a screenshot of the icon under Xfce on mageia v6 cauldron x86-64 Core i3 driver.

Hi,

The problem really seems to be that perl-Gtk3, using gtk 3.20.x, is not able to resize the icons when the chosen icons are smaller than they should be to fit the size of the system tray (at least, in LXDE, XFCE and MATE).

That problem does not occur with perl-Gtk3, using gtk 3.14.x (Mga5) and it does not occur with perl-Gtk2.

But, if the chosen icons are larger than they should be to fit the size of the system tray, they are resized.  So, I found a workaround: use the 128x128 version of the icons.  I tested that solution for net_applet by doing:
"""
mv /usr/share/libDrakX/pixmaps/connected.png /usr/share/libDrakX/pixmaps/connected.png.orig
ln -s /usr/share/libDrakX/pixmaps/connected_big.png /usr/share/libDrakX/pixmaps/connected.png
"""
After that, when logged into LXDE, the net_applet icon looks good.

Best regards,

Nico.

Hi,

Cinnamon is also affected.

Hi there,

TL;DR: Thierry, we need your help on this one :)

I've looked a bit into this and bug 18107. I replaced the mgaonline icons with 128px ones, which partly works around the issue for LXDE as Nicolas mentioned. It does not fix the bug in Plasma (more precisely described in bug 18107) however, and the fix is also only partial for LXDE, as my attached video shows.

Basically our systray applets are not able to be resized on the fly, so LXDE will somewhat accept the icon as 32x32, 64x64, and some funky cropping in between, but no smooth resize like for the other icons.

Comment 14 hints that it would be a regression with GTK 3.20.x, which might be worth looking into.

The best solution, however, would be to rework our systray applets to use more modern ways of setting their icon, so that they can use SVG on all desktops, and also be usable on Plasma (bug 17592).

Can't attach the video, so linking it here: https://up1.ca/#cf-MJ9s7DclwJxwIpf4hCg

As mentioned, this video was made with a mgaapplet icon of 128x128px, while the net_applet icon was kept as is (I think it's 20x20px).

@Nicolas: worth noting, the Mageia logo for the menu also seems low-res, I don't know if it's shipped directly in LXDE packages? Could you have a look?

In LXDE, the Mageia logo for the menu is directly /usr/share/icons/mageia.png, from desktop-common-data package (the configuration is in lxde-common package).

Currently, if I modify the default configuration, the best I can have is the icon from /usr/share/icons/large/mageia.png, which is only 48x48, so not very high-res either.

If the new icon from Timothée (bug 18579) replaced /usr/share/icons/mageia.png (or, at least, was added to desktop-common-data package), I could change the default configuration to use that SVG icon (which resizes well in lxpanel, I have tested, so the menu icon would not be low-res anymore).

This is the same issue as bug 18107. Marking this one as a duplicate as 18107 has a bit more detailed information.
