[Bug 1693155] Re: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons)
Deleted attachment from comment #8. I had unwittingly produced SVGs containing PNG (non-scalable) :) But regardless, I don't think squaring the icons or modifying gnome- shell to accept non-square is the answer. Because even after you fix the aspect ratio, the Ubuntu mono battery icons still look bad. The reason seems to be that Gnome Shell allocates less space for them than Unity7 does. So they get scaled down in Gnome Shell (smaller and blurrier than Unity7). You never get to see all 24x24 pixels in Gnome Shell at scaling factor 1.0. So there are really only two options to solve this bug properly: 1. Design new battery icons that are readable at smaller sizes than we're used to in Unity7; or 2. Use some existing battery icons that do look good in Gnome Shell (like Adwaita's). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693155 Title: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1693155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mh, i remember we had some kind of "custom code" in unity for this... IIRC it should be here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity- team/unity/trusty/view/head:/panel/PanelIndicatorEntryView.cpp#L397 I guess this happens because the icon isn't squared, so if we change the icon to be a square we'd probably break unity. I don't think it's wrong to try to push the same fix in g-s too, but I need to check. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693155 Title: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1693155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

And for future reference: To make a 32x24 icon (which is really only 24 wide with padding) into 24x24, use this (and adjust accordingly for other dimensions): convert -background none -extent 32x32 -page -5+0 INFILE.svg - | convert -background none -crop 24x24 - OUTFILE.svg ** Summary changed: - Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell + Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693155 Title: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1693155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

And we could achieve the same "fix" as comment #8 by modifying gnome- shell itself to ensure non-square icons are padded into squares, and never stretched. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693155 Title: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell (using ubuntu-mono icons) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1693155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1693155] Re: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell
The good news: I have a proof of concept fix attached. Just made sure all the icons have invisible square borders, and all are 24x24. The bad news (1): A more modern directory layout for our icon theme would be required to use these. Just putting them in the 24/ directory is not enough. You have to put them in 16/ and 22/ too, which is obviously wrong because they are actually 24x24. The bad news (2): Adwaita's default battery icon looks much better than even the fixed Ubuntu mono one. Because Gnome Shell shrinks the icons too much to make out details in Ubuntu's long narrow battery icon. Adwaita's is more "readable". The bad news (3): Nobody noticed that even with Ubuntu-mono-dark icons, Gnome Shell is still using the Adwaita icons for other things like wifi. It's failing to pick up the Ubuntu wifi icons and others. So we really need to address the entire icon them as a whole... In the meantime I suggest we should find an elegant way to just use the Adwaita shell icons (as we already are for non-battery icons). Because using the "fix" attached here still doesn't look as nice as Adwaita battery icons. ** Attachment added: "fix-1693155-24x24.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/+bug/1693155/+attachment/4899192/+files/fix-1693155-24x24.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693155 Title: Squashed blurry battery indicator in gnome-shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1693155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note this bug is most significant on low DPI machines.
