Ok, after some more testing with new GNOME Shell (3.32.0 + some commits backported), the situation has now improved when this case happens: - there is no more icons for applications not having any appinfo, like the update-notifier one. - applications with appinfo have an icon with a decent size (typically 48x48).
I think if we really want an application to have the icon showing up, let's add then appinfo to it, otherwise, the current behaviour is fine. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Disco) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818246 Title: update-notifier's notification is huge due to large icon Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Disco: Fix Released Bug description: I got a "update-notifier is ready" notification, with a HUGE icon which made the notification huge. update-notifier is a service, so shouldn't be opening a window itself. After the notification I never actually got a window. Also the shell should scale the icon to a proper size.
