Thanks Mardy! Passing icon data over DBus would be sub-optimal, yes. For clicks, I don't think we'd have a problem with the app resolving the icon name. (I assume that the default apparmor profile for apps will allow this.) I don't know what the story will be for snaps. Presumably, there will be some interface that apps are allowed to use to retrieve icons?

Right now, we only get three values from online accounts: id (integer) service id (e.g. “google-drive-scope”) display name (e.g. “[email protected]”) This isn’t quite sufficient for what applications need. In particular, they need a (translated) display string that identifies the service (e.g. “Google”, “Dropbox”), and they need the icon identifier. Without these things, it’s not possible to present a decent selection dialog, and it’s not possible to reliably distinguish accounts, such as when a user has more than one account with the same service, or has accounts with different services but the same email address. Could you please add the following to the account information dictionary: - provider ID - translated provider name - icon name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/online-accounts-api/+bug/1638769/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-webapps-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
