Description Joachim Frieben 2015-10-31 16:35:26 UTC
Description of problem:
When using the Bluecurve icon theme under recent Fedora releases, the availability of bitmapped icons alone and its (recently) limited coverage become apparent. Therefore, Bluecurve icons look blurred and/or "pixelish" at large sizes (see attached screenshots), and they are usually mixed with icons from the default GNOME icon set.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bluecurve-icon-theme-8.0.2-12.fc23.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and enable Bluecurve icon theme.

Actual results:
Overall look is great but blurred and/or "pixelish" at large sizes, and the theme is not applied in many places.

Expected results:
Overall look is great, and the theme is applied in the most frequently used places.

Additional info:
The Bluecurve GNOME icon theme is a landmark and still the default icon theme in EL6. It is still appealing by its clear and friendly design. It is desirable to have tracked and implemented the very limited number of changes in GNOME's icon naming scheme (I have done this in my private version filling the most visible gaps successfully) and to replace the bitmap icons by scalable versions. This would improve the user experience a lot. However, this requires access to the original sources created by G. LeSage.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:00:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

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

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 21:34:08 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
