Description Lapo Calamandrei 2011-05-17 06:25:52 UTC
In gnome 3 high resolution icons are show in overview mode. The icons there for fedora release notes is not the one I expected to see, so I checked out why.

Here's the output of rpm -ql fedora-release-notes | grep hicolor:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/36x36/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/fedora-release-notes.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/fedora-release-notes.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fedora-release-notes.svg

Here's the problem, fedora release notes ships way too many icons and the aformentioned icons are wrong even.
It should really ship just 16x16, 22x22, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48 and 256x256 and no svg since it's not usefull at all (the 256x256 size is the one which will be scaled) and having the svg there just 'cause problems since it's too complex and librsvg can't even render that one right.
Apart for being not usefull the sizes bigger then 48x48 (256x256 excluded) are wrong since are made scaling up the 48x48 version, while the 256x256 should be used (anyway the system would do that w/o shipping all these versions).
So please remove all the icons not needed or in case I'm missing something and all these sizes are really needed (why?) generate them using the right icon.

Comment 1 John J. McDonough 2011-05-20 14:51:29 UTC
Your bug does not show the specific version, so it is hard to tell which one you are referring to.

14.95.0 shipped those icons which were provided by the design team.  Unfortunately, the higher resolution icons required in GNOME 3 were not in that set.  It was unclear what resolutions were required.

14.98.0 shipped those design team icons that were available along with all other possible resolutions temporarily built from some free clip art.

For 15.0.0 the design team provided an svg, from which all the missing resolutions were scaled.  I believe the 14.98 icons were also scaled from the svg, not from the 48x48, but I am not certain of that.

15.1.0 will ship with the same icons as 15.0.0.  Following that we will do some testing to ensure that the minimum set you suggest works properly.

Ultimately, these icons should be provided from the fedora-logos package, but so far we haven't been able to make that happen.

Comment 2 Lapo Calamandrei 2011-05-21 00:32:14 UTC
Sorry, I missed the version, I'm referring to latest and greatest which is 15.0.0. Design team here, I provided the icons :-)
The size I suggested will surelly work in gnome and they should work on the other platforms following the icon theme specifications, anyway I have no way to test it properly. If something doesn't work in your tests please and you need additional sizes follow my advice and scale the 256x256 down for anything bigger then 48x48 and if really you need the 36x36 add a 2px frame around the 32x32.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 20:22:54 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
