If you use the bluecurve icon theme the volume applet look really bad at 48x48. It looks like the icon is scaled up from 16x16. Other themes look ok.
oh, I thought it was just a dup of bug 82301, if it's a theme bug we should be able to fix it easily. Garrett - we need a larger volume icon.
Nah, bug 82301 is about launchers. This one is fine if you change the theme.
the volume applet is using the stock icons: #define VOLUME_STOCK_MUTE "volume-mute" #define VOLUME_STOCK_ZERO "volume-zero" #define VOLUME_STOCK_MIN "volume-min" #define VOLUME_STOCK_MED "volume-med" #define VOLUME_STOCK_MAX "volume-max" data->zero = gtk_widget_render_icon (data->applet, VOLUME_STOCK_ZERO, volume_icon_size, NULL); data->min = gtk_widget_render_icon (data->applet, VOLUME_STOCK_MIN, volume_icon_size, NULL); data->med = gtk_widget_render_icon (data->applet, VOLUME_STOCK_MED, volume_icon_size, NULL); data->max = gtk_widget_render_icon (data->applet, VOLUME_STOCK_MAX, volume_icon_size, NULL); data->muted = gtk_widget_render_icon (data->applet, VOLUME_STOCK_MUTE, volume_icon_size, NULL);
Okay, this is the third time I'm trying to post to this bug. Bugzilla keeps eating the comments and giving me errors. (It seems to mostly work fine when I comment on other bugs, however. Maybe it just doesn't like me today...) Anyway, We have three solutions here: * Fix the volume applet so it doesn't scale the icons * Make 48x48 versions that just enlarge the space around the 24x24 versions * Adapt the 48x48 version of the icon for the stock icon theme Of course, there's also: * Use SVG for everything (But that's not an option yet. *grin*)
I *don't* want a 48x48 applet for twiddling my volume!
Bug 83175 seems to be a duplicate of this (I can't add a comment there)
There are now multiple sizes of the volume indicator in redhat-artwork. The configuration or the actual code may need to be changed; but artwork is in place.
works in RHL 9 - think it was fixed for 8.0 too.
