Humanity in KDE does not display volume icons.

[Alan Fischer e Silva]

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi, using KDE with Humanity icon works quite well, except for the kmixer or related icon.

Look the screenshot attached.

alan@havaianas:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

alan@havaianas:~$ apt-cache policy humanity-icon-theme

Bug: User installs humanity in KDE and notices the volume icons not displayed. [it was due to symlinks to svg named as .png being used instead of files]

Fix: the symlinks are replaced with the actual rendered png files

Test case:
Install new version of humanity from lucid-proposed and check if the volume icons are displayed in KDE.

vish, do we support KDE ?

[Vish (vish)]

Well , we dont usually fix for kde , but if it isnt going to change anything in gnome and just requires a few symlinks .
We could just add the symlinks.

Could you add a screenshot of the icon with the default icon theme.. [oxygen?]

[Alan Fischer e Silva (alanfischer85)]

Wouldn't be better to fix the link for the same icon used on humanity package?

ps. the same problem happens when on mute. I've added 2 screenshots, 1 on mute and 1 normal.

[Alan Fischer e Silva (alanfischer85)]

The other screenshot.

[Vish (vish)]

thanks for the screenshots. did you have the same problem in karmic?

[Alan Fischer e Silva (alanfischer85)]

I had some other problems in karmic when using KDE with humanity icon, but the sound/mixer icon was ok.

The "arrows" and "+" icon were kind of broken in KDE for 9.10, but in 10.04 this issue is gone.

for this to work with 0.5.2 and kde4.4 some extra symlinks are needed:

Volume:

audio-volume-high.svg symlinked to audio-volume-high-panel.svg.
audio-volume-medium.svg symlinked >> audio-volume-medium-panel.svg
audio-volume-low.svg symlinked >> audio-volume-low-panel.svg
audio-volume-muted.svg symlinked >> audio-volume-muted-panel.svg

Battery:
battery-missing.svg >> gpm-battery-missing.svg
battery-caution.svg >> gpm-battery-000.svg
battery-low.svg >> gpm-battery-020.svg
battery-040.svg >> gpm-battery-040.svg
battery-060.svg >> gpm-battery-060.svg
battery-080.svg >> gpm-battery-080.svg
battery-100.svg >> gpm-battery-100.svg
battery-charging.svg >> gpm-battery-100-charging.svg
battery-charging-080.svg >> gpm-battery-080-charging.svg
battery-charging-060.svg >> gpm-battery-060-charging.svg
battery-charging-040.svg >> gpm-battery-040-charging.svg
battery-charging-caution.svg >> gpm-battery-020-charging.svg
battery-charging-low.svg >> gpm-battery-000-charging.svg

The problem here seems to be the symlinks named as .png , this is required for a gtk bug. But it is causing problems in KDE .
gtk requires the png files otherwise it blurs the svg icons in certain widgets. I'll add the files as png.

However , since this does not affect gnome , I'm skeptical about getting an update for this. , since we are closed for Lucid. But will try :)

Thanks Saleel. I'll get add the battery symlinks too , do mention if there are any other icons required for KDE. I'll make this into a meta bug for KDE compatibility , which would probably be higher chance at getting an update.

@Alan Fischer e Silva , As a workaround, what i can suggest is that you remove the symlinks named as .png from your install
/audio-volume-high.png
/audio-volume-low.png
/audio-volume-medium.png
/audio-volume-muted.png

[Vish (vish)]

If i symlink the audio-volume-high.svg to audio-volume-high-panel.svg icons that would change the icons in gnome ;-)

And since the volume systray icons would be color ones , adding the symlinks for battery would make the battery icons stand out in KDE.

Well , we can fix the volume icons alone for this bug.

[Vish (vish)]

Subscribing the sponsors team , to get the fix uploaded for Lucid.

lp:~ubuntu-art-pkg/humanity/release

The fix is only in the volume icons and no other icons have been changed. Kindly upload it for Lucid release , as users in KDE will notice the missing icons , which would be a regression from Karmic as it was working earlier in Karmic.
