There is no need to provide 48x48 pixel png icons for each application. As described in bug #46836 Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer and other applications svg icons have an initial size of 48x48 pixels.
But /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme contains the following: [scalable/apps] MinSize=1 Size=128 MaxSize=256 Context=Applications Type=Scalable So the gnome icon theme implementation thinks that icons in the scalable/apps directory have a nominal size of 128 pixels. For Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer, ... icon the actual size is 48x48 pixels, so the icon appears 2.67 times smaller than expected. There are two possible solutions: 1. edit index.theme and set the nominal size of icons in scalable/apps to 48 pixels. 2. edit the SVG files so that they have an intial size of 128x128 pixels. I would recommend (1) because 48x48 is used in gnome as initial display size for desktop and folder icons. Furthermore the tango project also suggests 48x48 pixel size for svgs. Most of the scalable icons in /usr/share/icons/<theme>/scalable already use this size. -- Rhythmbox desktop launcher icon appears too small https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
