Switching to the HighContrastInverse icon theme, and the bar at the top of the screen swells up huge, along with some other things.

This is in Intrepid, it doesn't occur in Hardy.

I can confirm this, too. Since upgrading to Intrepid, the icons are not scaled in the gnome-panel and in applications, they do scale correctly in the panel menu though. I use only the icons, not the rest of the theme.

/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc uses pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/pixmaps", which might be obsolete. /usr/share/icons/HighContrastInverse/index.theme has "Inherits=HighContrastLargePrintInverse,gnomes"(sic), whose index.theme sets all icon types to "Fixed".

My dirty quick workaround was replacing every "Fixed" with "Scalable" in /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/index.theme
