Various icons don't have a 16x16 icon size

[Alexander Jones]

Binary package hint: human-icon-theme

The "New folder" icon is too big and it causes the menu's icon column width, and the "Create Folder" menu item height to expand and look out of place and inconsistent.

There are some more examples in the comments below.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

[Alexander Jones (alex-weej)]

Where is the original bug?

[Alexander Jones (alex-weej)]

Sorry Sebastien, but I'm re-opening this. Still affecting Feisty.

[VF (vfiend)]

Yes, still a problem in latest feisty, if you hover over it you can see that it's making that menu item bigger than all the other ones.

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

This seems fairly similar to bug #63363, but has more examples of icons that need a 16x16 size.

[livingtarget (renekok)]

Another icon that needs a 16x16 size is the "report bug" icon again in Nautilus. That one is less noticeable because they all have different sizes/styles in that menu. Nautilus -> Help

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

From bug #63363:

The Add Bookmark Icon in Epiphany and other programs is too large. I notice that it is in the 24x24 size only, and menu icons need to have a 16x16 icon available.

[VF (vfiend)]

Shows up in Gaim too, the 'View log' icon is HUGE compared to all the other icons, while the privacy/block icon is only slightly bigger than the other ones. Maybe the priority should be increased? These are popping up all over the place.

[Alexander Jones (alex-weej)]

Is the View Log icon part of human-icon-theme? I'm not seeing the problem you're talking about. Can you post a screenshot?

[VF (vfiend)]

Sure, here you go.

The offending icon is gtk-dnd-multiple.png from the Tangerine theme,
located at /usr/share/icons/Tangerine/32x32/status/gtk-dnd-multiple.png

Reported a seperate bug about that at tangerine then, bug 103030

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

the GAIM problem is a bug in GAIM, as it should scale the icon if it does not find the right size.

[livingtarget (renekok)]

I disagree with that statement, if it would be a bug it would be a bug in GTK rather than GAIM because these different icons exist all over different Gnome applications.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I shouldn't have pointed a finger at GAIM, I'll agree on that...but the icon should be scaled if the correct size is not found, or?

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

Scaling a bitmap to a smaller size would result in inferior icons, that is why each icon size in the tango set is designed separately.

[VF (vfiend)]

Filed under all those packages then, you should really be commenting on the other bug

[Andreas Nilsson (andreasn)]

It's not a bug in gtk, as this icon is supposed to be used for dragging multiple objects with the cursor only, hence the name gtk-dnd-multiple.png and it only need to exist in 32x32. Too bad gaim misuse this icon (and some others it seems) for totally different things that they were designed for.
Christian Hammond who is a gaim developer said on irc that he considered it a bug in gaim as well.

[VF (vfiend)]

I've reported the bug to Gaim upstream and attached a bug watch to bug 103030, thanks Andreas

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I have commited 3 16x16 icons (but this will not fix the bug in GAIM). Unless there are other icons which are missing, this should be fixed.

If there are other missing icons, please add list.

[VF (vfiend)]

For other people who don't want to look it up, the new fixed icons are:
16x16/actions/bookmark-new.png
16x16/actions/dialog-apply.png
16x16/actions/folder-new.png

I'm re-opening because I can see a few more that need to be done:
dialog-error.png (as seen in Gaim, the 'Block' icon)
dialog-warning.png (as seen in Nautilus->Help->Report bug)
folder-saved-search.png (as seen in Liferea, the icon for 'Search Folders')

If I've missed any, someone please comment with them.

Also thanks a lot for working on this Kenneth, I've been wanting to see this fixed for quite a while

[VF (vfiend)]

Nevermind dialog-warning.png , it seems to look the right size now for some reason.

Both of these still need to be done, though:
dialog-error.png (as seen in Gaim, the 'Block' icon)
folder-saved-search.png (as seen in Liferea, the icon for 'Search Folders')

[VF (vfiend)]

I think there was just a launchpad-integration update that fixed dialog-warning.png's oversizedness, actually.

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

I have found a new one - go-home.png shows in Epiphany's "Go" menu, smallest available size is 22x22.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

Added
 * 16x16/places/folder-saved-search.png
 * 16x16/status/dialog-error.png

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

and
 * 16x16/actions/go-home.png

I think this covers all the mentioned icons, or?

[VF (vfiend)]

Yes, I think that's all.

However (and I'm not sure if I should file a seperate bug for this or not), the new 16x16 icons appear to be just resized while the old 16x16 icons seem to be manually tweaked so they look good at such a low resolution. You can see this if you right click in nautilus, the 'Create folder' and 'create document' icons look different, the star/asterisk part, that is.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

Good eye :-) Because we do not have all of the vector data I had to improvise on a few parts. The only other way to do it would be to redraw all of them which would take way too much time.

[VF (vfiend)]

Ah, fair enough, thanks.

Closing because the icons i re-opened it for have been added.

[VF (vfiend)]

Re-opening, found one I missed before because Deluge is now using it

24x24/actions/dialog-ok.png
Needs a scaled down 16x16/actions/dialog-ok.png

When using Tangerine or Tango, a proper size icon is used, but when using Human, an oversized dialog-ok is used.

[VF (vfiend)]

More, when you insert a dvd and check out totem's file menu:

media-eject.png
gnome-dev-disc-dvdrom.png

The other gnome-dev icons may need smaller icons somewhere, I suppose? I wouldn't know.

[Conn O Griofa (psyke83)]

Kenneth,

Since we're considering the human-theme update to use 16,16px buttons sizes by default, can we escalate this bug?

As a minimum, we need the following icons to be provided with 16,16px icons:

Human/16x16/actions/dialog-ok.png
Human/16x16/actions/gtk-ok.png

Without these icons, the buttons on certain applications (such as Firefox and tsclient) will have mixed 24,24px and 16,16px icons on buttons, with the larger button size to accommodate the larger icons.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

Yes, I will put this on my todo list.

[Antti Kaihola (akaihola)]

The Reinteract application [1] uses these icons to indicate the status of Python source code displayed in a tab:
gtk-ok (16x16 missing for this one)
gtk-refresh
gtk-apply
gtk-dialog

Whenever the status changes to "successfully executed", the gtk-ok icon is used. Since 16x16 is missing for that icon, the tab suddenly gets taller which causes an ugly layout change in the window.

[Antti Kaihola (akaihola)]

On Lucid up-to-date as of 2010-02-03, the icon problem with Reinteract has disappeared.
