Some further clarification over this; for these group-* icons the paths are hardcoded to read from a specific location. It is not the change from .svg files to .pngs but the change in pathname. The pathname and the icon location require simultaneously changing. To avoid a half-and- half situation this requires adding "Breaks:" to the meta-data in the .deb to ensure a smooth upgrade.
The solution at this stage therefore has to rely of not changing the pathnames. One possible solution is to embed the .pngs into .svg files (this uses a url:// and base64 encoding). The files will be approximately 25% larger from the base64 encoding. I'll look in to confirming if this is possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758753 Title: Dash: App and File search category headers show square icon with lense rather than star and scissors -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
