Description Martin Szulecki 2007-04-24 21:37:12 UTC

Using the Tango icon theme in GNOME results in the symbolic link emblem on icons being as big as the actual icon itself.

This was already reported around 2005 here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321819

I vote for including the simple provided patch (into my fav. distro) in the nautilus packages until it gets upstream since it quickly fixes this annoying and clearly visual "bug" on the desktop.

Afaik. this bug is caused by gnome-icon-theme's wrongly sized symbolic link emblem icon with nautilus adopting this mistake.

Jakkub, I thought you had a workaround for this at one point for SLED

Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2007-04-25 18:27:41 UTC

Yea. We ship the Industrial theme, that has emblems in the 48x48 dir, claiming they are 48x48 and are in fact smaller. It's exactly that though, a workaround. If we aim to have themes outside the scope of gnome, we need to follow a consistent behavior. The thunar file browser already does the right thing.

I really wish this this was fixed upstream, either by doing what I suggested in the upstream bug, or that emblems are taken out of icon themes if they should follow their own twisted size logic.

I don't think breaking tango icon theme is the way to go here.

Comment 3 Martin Szulecki 2007-04-25 23:57:06 UTC

Isn't this simply a matter of applying the proposed patch plus fixing all other bundled theme's emblem icons to be in the correct folders depending on their size for 10.3? Putting something not 48x48 sized in such a folder seems like a clear break/bug to me, regardless if that "hides" another bug since it directly shows up when people try to do it right or experiment with other themes.

If the patch gets applied, I will remove the wrongly size emblems from Industrial. gnome-icon-theme is using properly sized emblems as well.

Comment 6 JP Rosevear 2007-08-09 20:02:20 UTC

I think we aren't going to correct all the upstream themes, we'll just take this when upstream actually fixes it.
