Public bug reported: Ubuntu 18.04.1, gnome/X11 session.
All the icons in the activities panel (the left side-bar) are shrunk if an app is run which does not specify an icon. Perhaps the default icon is too large, or otherwise lacking in a way which causes the entire side-bar to be re-scaled, shrinking the existing icons. The example below usses qmlscene (a tool to run Qt-based apps), but I've seen this with other apps which don't have a proper icon, such as the citrix receiver. Please see attached screenshots (before and after running a qmlscene program) STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. # Install Qt with qmlscene. # I think this is enough: sudo apt-get install qmlchooser qmlscene # But if not, then: sudo apt-get install qtcreator qtbase5-dev 2. # create a trivial qml program echo 'import QtQuick 2.9' >t.qml echo 'import QtQuick.Controls 2.2' >>t.qml echo 'ApplicationWindow { id: top; visible:true }' >>t.qml 3. qmlscene t.qml RESULTS: The icons in the left sidebar contract to about half their previous size. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Attachment added: "after.png (showing shrunken icons in task bar)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816255/+attachment/5239165/+files/after.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816255 Title: Default sidebar icon screws up size of all icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1816255/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
