Created attachment 5537 Variety icon is second from the left. Its size is clearly larger than the other icons. Variety is a program that fetches random wallpapers from sites around the web and periodically changes the desktop background. Its icon displays in the indicator area on the panel. I am running Linux Mint XFCE 17 and when I am running Variety, its icon is much larger than the other icons in the indicator area. It did not do this under Linux Mint MATE 17. Restarting the program doesn't change the size. Other users report this bug under Gnome Shell (Fallback) and Xubuntu 14.04. This bug has been reported to the creator of Variety at the following link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1319159
Comment on attachment 5537 Variety icon is second from the left. Its size is clearly larger than the other icons. I misspoke: the Variety icon is third from the left.
Hi, both xfce4-indicator-plugin and Gnome Fallback's indicator applet simply display the icon received provided by the indicator. Libindicator API does not allow to specify the icon size and therefore the convention is that all icon sizes are 22px. Indicators that violate this rule (multiload) are doing that because they require a specific panel geometry anyway. A similar issue existed in wallch (another wallpaper changer, do they share the code?) and was fixed there by simply resizing the icon to 22px. In the past I tried doing icon scaling on the fly but it was buggy, CPU consuming and causing maintenance problems. So unless libindicator starts supporting icon size selection/scaling I will not add this feature to the plugin.
