Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 858289
Rename subscription-manager.desktop file
Last modified: 2013-02-21 03:56:19 EST
Description of problem: This is only noticeable in Fedora at this point, but since the command to run Subscription Manager is subscription-manager-gui and our icon and .desktop file are called subscription-manager, GNOME can get confused and fallback to using way smaller sizes than it should. This includes GNOME Shell ignoring our 48px icon and using a smaller one that gets super pixel-y, which it also uses in place of the 256px alt-tab icon. Renaming subscription-manager.desktop to subscription-manager-gui.desktop results in GNOME paying attention to our 48px icon, and using a larger icon for the 256px alt-tab instead of a 16/24/32 or whatever it was, blown way up to 256. The other fix would be to change something in the code, I didn't quite follow what it was, but I can follow up with Ray again if anyone is curious. Are there any other implications to doing this? Shouldn't break anything, right?
fixed in master at f186b5dc614d2d0d00158d6e9952f4b96eacca20
Created attachment 660923 [details] Icons before name change
Created attachment 660925 [details] Icons after name change My vm is a bit out of date, not sure if the alt tab icon would use a png (and render properly) instead of an svg (and have that gray bar sticking out of the icon) if it was newer, or if I hadn't mucked around with the settings trying to recreate the pixelated icons after they had been fixed on my vm.
Created attachment 661002 [details] renderings of subscription-manager icon on rhel64 Verifying Version... [root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gui subscription-manager-gui-1.1.11-1.el6.x86_64 [root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -ql subscription-manager-gui | grep desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/rhsm-icon.desktop /usr/share/applications/subscription-manager-gui.desktop ^^^^ VERIFIED THAT subscription-manager.desktop WAS RENAMED TO subscription-manager-gui.desktop Using attachment 660925 [details] from mreid to verify that the name change was helpful to fedora. SEE the attachment for "renderings of subscription-manager icon" on rhel64 which includes the subscription-manager-gui.desktop rendered using Alt-Tab. In my opionon, these RHEL64 renderings are not pixel-y. Moving to VERIFIED.
