App icons are, or will be, also rendered by content-hub in its “Open With” dialog; by indicator-sound when a player is registered with Mpris; by url-dispatcher in its “Use App” dialog; and by any app that uses its own icon in a notification. (Presumably the notification cases can’t be fixed in notify-osd and indicator-messages themselves, because they don’t know whether the icon they receive is an app icon or something more specific.) That almost certainly still isn’t a complete list.
These “oh, we need to fix this bug here too, and here, and here” comments bolster my proposal in wontfixed bug 1363015: there should be a toolkit element for rendering an app’s icon in the current standard style. As long as every place that renders app icons has to include its own code for making a transparent background opaque, along with all their other details (icon location in click/snap packages, aspect ratio sanity-checking, rounded corners, relief/shadow, etc), then whenever the rendering of app icons changes, time will be wasted on multiple implementations and some of them will be forgotten or diverge accidentally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-system-settings- online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449295 Title: [Icons] Transparent app icon backgrounds look bad Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in trust-store package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I uploaded an app with an icon that had a transparent background. In the dash, the wallpaper is visible behind the icon. And in the launcher, the icon is presented on a dark background, making it look very different than on dash with its white background. Neither looks great, and makes the shell look a little janky. Obviously, the app author should just fix their icon. But if they DO give us a bad icon, we should fix it for them, else we look bad too.
