Description Scott H 2005-01-11 16:58:34 CET
I posted this in "general" because I've noticed it affects both the xfce4-panel
as well as other apps that use gtk (like gaim). The basic problem can be seen in
this screenshot: http://www.theskyiscrape.com/scott/xfce4_panel.png

First, you can see that the launchers and menu icons on the left appear small.
Even worse though, some icons like the "show desktop" goodie (which is between
the launchers and the taskbar and very hard to see..) and the speaker image of
the "volume" goodie are extremely small. I can recall that the "x" for closing a
tab in a chat window in gaim also has this problem...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. startx ;)
2. 
3. 




I'm running yoper with gtk2-2.4.14.
Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2005-01-12 07:00:20 CET
That's a problem with recent GTK+ (gtk 2.4 and later) that use a larger
borderwith, leaving less room for the icon inside the button.

Xfce GTK themes set smaller bw values so that the effect is less visible, but
you are not using one of our themes...
Comment 2 Scott H 2005-01-13 03:36:08 CET
The theme in the screenshot is xfce-dawn. I've also tried every theme on my
computer (most are xfce) and they all yield the exact same results..
Comment 3 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2005-01-13 06:44:59 CET
what happens when you change panel size, to somethng bigger and than back. Does
it always use these big margins around the icon?
Comment 4 Scott H 2005-01-13 08:24:44 CET
Yes, it always looks like that even if I switch. FWIW, here's what the panel
looks at the other sizes:

At large and huge, it seems like it *might* actually look correct. Although it's
hard for me to tell because I never run it at those sizes.
Comment 5 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2005-01-13 09:12:35 CET
Hmm, I just had a thought. Perhaps it's related to PNG vs. SVG icons. Did you
perhaps update gtk, but not librsvg? 

Comment 6 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2005-01-13 13:13:42 CET
two things:

1) the "large" and "huge" screenies you've provided look pretty much how my
panel looks, though i'm not 100% sure.

2) try removing the taskbar plugin temporarily, and, to make sure, change the
panel size to something else and then back.  if the icon sizing looks right
after that, then it's the taskbar plugin incorrectly calculating its height.
Comment 7 Scott H 2005-01-13 15:56:47 CET
It looks like I have the latest librsvg
# rpm -qa | grep librsvg
librsvg-2.8.1-5

I just tried removing the taskbar plugin (and the systemtray plugin just in
case) and every panel size looked just like the screenshots. What an annoying
and persistent little problem..
Comment 8 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2005-03-14 20:52:45 CET
I didn't hear of problems like this in a long time. Maybe I should close it as
WORKSFORME?
Comment 9 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2005-04-08 11:17:08 CEST
I think this should work now.
