[intrepid] Status icons in jockey don't fit icon theme

[Vadim Peretokin]

Binary package hint: jockey-gtk

The silver deactivated and green activated icons are completely out of the Ubuntu theme and don't fit in.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hm, Ken, any idea for something that would fit better?

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

after looking at them in the interfae I have to admit that they don't fit. I will see if I can come up with something that fits better with the human icons.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

To me they look ok in Human, though the green is a bit yellowish, and it's odd that the "Deactivate" bulb appears smaller than the "This driver is activated" one.

In DarkRoom they have an incongruous grey border, so I guess the relief effects should be done relative to a transparent background instead of a grey one.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I've tweaked them a bit, ideas?

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

That does look somewhat better, but not exactly fitting. I find that ubuntu's icons have their reflection in an arc and on top, like the help icon's (where you have firefox evoution help on top)

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Vadim, the help icon is a slightly outset solid disc, while the hardware driver status icons are transparent bulbs. Different 3-D shapes, different materials, different reflections.

Ken, that looks much better, nicely done. Now if you increase the radius by a fraction of a pixel, that should eliminate those little grey spikes visible at the cardinal points against the grey background.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Thanks a lot, Ken!

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

That looks much better. Thank you

Fixed in upstream trunk.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.5~beta3-0ubuntu8

---------------
jockey (0.5~beta3-0ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge bug fixes from trunk:
    - Replace enabled/disabled icons with more decent variant, thanks Kenneth
      Wimer! (LP: #290239)
    - backend.py: Rewrite timeout behaviour for more robustness; do not time
      out right after a long method call.
    - Intercept crashes of the backend (which manifest as D-BUS NoReply
      error), present an error message, and restart backend. (LP: #273600)
    - jockey-gtk: Fix crash if nothing is selected in the tree view after an
      operation. (LP: #283887)
    - fglrx.py: Unconfigured driver defaults to ati, which already provides
      compositing. (LP: #285879)
  * jockey/oslib.py, install_package(): Use --force-confnew to fix hang/crash
    on "EOF on stdin at conffile prompt", since the jockey backend does not
    have any terminal or interactivity. This fixes fglrx install failure when
    the upstream installer was previously used. This still keeps .dpkg-old
    configuration backups, and using a tool like Jockey should "make it work".
    (LP: #283765)
  * data/handlers/b43.py: Add missing OSLib import. (LP: #295530)
