Description of problem: After updating to the latest version of "gnome-panel", menu and panel icons look blurred. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.17.90-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to "GNOME" session. 2. Check that panel size is actually 24 px. Actual results: Menu and panel icons look blurred. Expected results: Menu and panel icons look crisp as they used to do for earlier versions of "gnome-panel" [up to "2.16.2-2.fc7"]. Additional info: After setting the panel size to 32px, the albeit bigger icons look crisp again. However, for "FCn" [n=1..6] and FC devel" before this usually worked even at 24px and the corresponding smaller icon size.

is this for any icon theme? or just bluecurve?
Created attachment 146193 [details] Panel screenshot at 24px ["Crux" theme] That's right. When you got to the "Sound & Video" menu, then the "Movie Player" icon looks much better. Btw, when I set the icon theme to "Crux", even the "Bluecurve" icons look crisp, but they now ressemble much their "FC3" precursors with only weak outline (see attachment showing browser and mail client icons).
This looks exactly like bug 146980 that I had opened 2 years ago. The icons also got blurred at some point, see attachment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=113903 . The bug was identified in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=146980#c18 and solved in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=146980#c19 . Bug was then fixed in "redhat-artwork-0.122-8" ;o)
Issue still present "gnome-panel-2.17.92-1.fc7". Should this bug be reported upstream, or is this change of behaviour due to some internal modifications?
probably a redhat-artwork bug, reassigning.
As of 2007-03-24, the issue is still affecting current "Fedora" development. Given the many "Bluecurve" icons used all over the place even when "Echo" is chosen and the remaining time before "F7" freeze, it appears desirable to have this issue fixed soon. This bug should be added to "F7Target".
Adding to FC7Target
Created attachment 151405 [details] Screenshot of "gnome-panel" with two instances of "gnome-terminal" using the default icon Another strange thing is that the icon aspect changes when you change the icon and then set it back to its initial value. In the screenshot, two instances of "gnome-terminal" have been added to the panel. For the left one, the icon has been changed and then reset to the original one which is used by the right entry. However, now the aspect is quite different!
Issue still present with "redhat-artwork-7.0.0-4.fc7".
Are there any plans to fix this bug? I recall that there is fair number of "Bluecurve" icons used even when the default theme is used. Current version: redhat-artwork-7.0.0-10.fc8 This bug is still marked "F7Target" but should probably get reassigned to "F8Target".
we discussed this bug during the last desktop team meeting. the problem is the panel asks for 22px icons and a lot (although by no means all!) icons for the panel are 24px, so they get scaled and blurry. It's pretty easy to switch the icon size (it's a theme setting we could set in a panel gtkrc or in our default gtkrc), but neither 22px or 24px works, because it will leave part of the icons blurry. Amusingly, setting it to 23px makes almost all the icons look clear, because for 23px icons we don't scale, we just pick the closest one.
Ah, this 23px hack has been a full success! Maybe not the 'official' solution to the problem, but a quick and useful measure. Thanks!
I've built a different fix yesterday. Please try and see if it solves your problem too.
Issue fixed in 'gnome-panel-2.20.0.1-6.fc9'.
Created attachment 226531 [details] Panel screenshot demonstrating slight cropping of Fedora icon I have to note that there is a downside to this patch which is that certain [non-Bluecurve] icons get sonewhat bigger now and end up being slightly cropped as in the case of the 'Fedora' logo.
