The icons for the mageia specific programs are very low resolution. When they are made bigger through Gnome 3 desktop interactions, they appear very fuzzy and out of place. It would be nice if vectorized icons were used instead which could scale very nicely to larger formats as the icons themselves are nice. I've appended two screenshots demonstrating what I'm refering to. Specifically, programs like the Mageia Control Center, Net_applet and Pulse audio icons stand out.

Created attachment 2782 [details] Desktop screenshot 2 Notice more low resolution icons in the gnome 3 application list.

These reports are different - position versus look (bug 5178 is a suggestion to move net_applet and mgaapplet to GNOME top panel, whilst bug 7434 (current) refers to the appearance / low resolution of some mga specific icons in both GNOME application list and GNOME popup notification). Also valid for current Cauldron.

Sorry for the typo in Comment 4 - please read bug 5187 instead of bug 5178.
ah yes indeed sorry Maybe we should switch to svg. Blino, do you know if there is a source file ? Atelier/artwork team something that you can add if your todo list ?

I don't know either. Anne, do you know if we have the SVG source of the DrakX icons?

Even if we don't have SVG source for the DrakX icons, we need them. I don't know why they weren't used to begin with. This might be important enough to warrant a project, even if it means redrawing all of the icons from scratch in SVG.

seems the last time it was updated was for 4 years (Hélène was the a professional designer iirc) http://svn.mandriva.com/viewvc/soft/drakx-net/trunk/data/pixmaps/connected.png?view=log or maybe switch them all (used "outside" the application, so I mean drakconf/rpmdrake/etc icon in fact) to a new theme (that can already exist) ?
Do we have some kind of art team, and are they aware of this bug?

Yes to all your questions, however, we have quite a long list of work needing done and very few designers, so if you know anyone that could help with this it would be really appreciated.

Just looking at this again, I think that we will have to redraw all the icons. We will set it as a goal for MGA4. Correct me if I am wrong, but as Helene did all the design more MDV, I think that the .svg's were never provided, just the .png's so getting them probably wont be a possibility.
We can always try to ask her if she still has the SVGs and is willing to provide them? It would probably be best to check with former Mandriva employees who contribute to Mageia if it's a good idea.

@tv: Yuri provided the needed artwork in comment 14 and comment 15. Can you rebuild drakx-net with these new icons?

Can (In reply to Yuri Chornoivan from comment #15) > SVG versions of the above mentioned icons (wireless icons can be taken > borrowed from KDE Oxygen directly): > > https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55247264/svg.tar.xz Can icons encryption-open-24.png, encryption-strong-24.png be found in higher resolution than in size 24x24? The icons are parts of package drakx-net, too. Are the icons (encryption-*.png) needed in higher resolution? Where are they used? All icons have higher resolution in the package except encryption-open-24.png, encryption-strong-24.png, encryption-weak-24.png, connected.png, connecting.png, disconnected.png. I found encryption-weak-24.png in higher resolution: http://www.iconarchive.com/show/crystal-clear-icons-by-everaldo/Action-lock-icon.html

I do not know. TinEye search can help. 2. I do not know. These icons are used in net_applet and connection_manager in lists so I _guess_ there is no need for the higher resolutions now.
