Description Joachim Frieben 2006-09-26 11:41:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Compared to previous versions, the "Trash" panel icon is smaller, in
fact it is now too small.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-6.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to "GNOME" session.
2. Choose "Bluecurve" theme.
  
Actual results:
"Bluecurve" panel icon is used for the trash, but it's too small.

Expected results:
"Bluecurve" panel icon should make reasonable use the available
panel real estate.

Additional info:
- The right icon size used to be used prior to this version.
- There is a corresponding entry in the changelog:

  "* Sat Sep 16 2006 Matthias Clasen <mclasen> - 1:2.16.0.1-4"
  "- Fix some icon size issues in the trash applet".
- Screenshots of the "Trash" panel icon for the current version
  "2.16.0.1-6.fc6" and for version "2.6.2.1-1" (mockup) are attached.

It is smaller, sure. How do you come to the conclusion that it is "too small" ?

Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2006-09-26 17:07:48 UTC
It clearly looks more fuzzy than before which is not surprising given
the small absolute number of pixels used in each dimension. 24 pixels
are already damn few, and going even below that .. At that scale,
every single pixels counts!
Moreover, the proportion between the surrounding grey area and the icon
area is certainly less than 1 which is visually unpleasant.
Of course this is not an object of rigorous scientific consideration,
but I for myself did notice the change immediately; as a matter of
fact even before browsing the daily "rawhide" report.
Btw, the desktop icon on the left looks smaller smaller too, .. grr!

Err, I meant to write: ".., the proportion between the surrounding
grey area and the icon area is certainly -greater- than 1 .."

FC5 desktop screenshot

Here, for comparison a screenshot of a standard "FC5" desktop. In
particular, "Trash" and "Speaker" icons are noticeably larger, and
moreover, in contrast with current "rawhide", their size equals that
of the panel launcher icons.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-03-29 18:54:04 UTC
So is the problem that the icons are too small, or that the icons don't look
good at a small size?

Matthias, do you remember why they needed to be shrunk?

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2007-03-29 20:24:35 UTC
It didn't resize properly before. And I believe it ended up not leaving room for
the focus rectangle. The upstream bug is

Comment 9 Joachim Frieben 2007-03-30 07:12:45 UTC
Well, as matter of fact, one gets used to the smaller icons as time goes by.
The "Desktop" icon in the down left corner actually looks crisper than before, 
probably due to a icon scaling problem in "FC5" and earlier releases. This 
observation is possibly interesting with respect to bug 223786.

Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2007-04-18 03:42:06 UTC
Either way, I think we can close this now.
