Hi, Currently, half our apps use nice symbolic icons in the app menu, while the other half use shrunken hicolor icons. This inconsistency is a poor user experience, and not something that should happen in a serious operating system. Progress is being tracked at [1] under the column 3.16 status, but it's clearly not going to be finished prior to the F22.
I don't think this change is ready for Fedora (or other distros -- the change should have been delayed until GNOME 3.18). We should wait until at least all the apps we install by default have symbolic icons before making this switch. Ideally [1] would be completed as well. I propose either: a) Reverting the change to use symbolic icons for the app menu in a downstream patch. This would involve reverting upstream commit [2]. b) Integrating symbolic icons for those apps in downstream patches. This would be more work, but at least patches already exist (thanks Jakub!) for nearly all GNOME apps, even though a few have been rejected upstream. We would still need icons for devassistant and setroubleshoot, though.
