[Bug 657799] New: Icon set supplied in "oxygen-icon-theme" contains many icons that look out of focus.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657799 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657799#c0 Summary: Icon set supplied in "oxygen-icon-theme" contains many icons that look out of focus. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: bruno.canning@dsl.pipex.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-0.7.1 Firefox/3.6.12 The icons contained in the package "oxygen-icon-theme" on suse 11.3 (package version 4.4.4-1.4) look horrible and out of focus compared to those used on 11.2 (package version 4.3.5-0.1.1) which look nice, clean and crisp. This is especially true of the icons seen in the right-hand "Information" panel in Dolphin after placing the mouse over one of the smaller icons in the main pane. I appreciate that this is an aesthetic point and that it is probably a design decision made by kde rather than suse but when I installed 11.3 I noticed immediately how ugly many of the icons looked, and I do like my kde desktop to look awesome. Thus, I'd recommend packaging the old set of icons. In addition, the file preview that is displayed in the right-hand "Information" panel when placing the mouse over a text file works in the same way for an ordinary text file and an odt file. However, the preview of the odt file shows the garbled text of the file header (not the readable text of the document) and thus looks ugly and is of no use. I'd recommend replacing the preview of full documents with a pretty icon (the ability to produce a proper preview might consume more resources than necessary). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 11.3 2. Log in to kde. 3. Open dolphin, look at the icons and gasp. Actual Results: Icons look out of focus and horrible. Expected Results: Icons look cool, sharp and smart, like in 11.2. I've worked around this on my system by renaming the existing "oxygen" folder "oxygen-new" in /usr/share/icons/, then copying the files from my old 11.2 installation found in /usr/share/icons/oxygen to /usr/share/icons/oxygen-old and creating a link called "oxygen" to "oxygen-old" in /usr/share/icons/. This remedies the situation that I have described. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On a standard installation of 11.3 with KDE, open Dolphin, go to the "View" menu, then the "Panels" section and tick the box marked "Information" on the bit that pops out to the right of the drop-down menu, or just press F11. The Information panel should now occupy the right-hand-side of the Dolphin window. Now, mouse-over any folder or file icon and the big icon that pops up on the Information panel looks fuzzy. Previously in 11.2, these big icons looked sharp. Just to clarify, it is these fuzzy icons that I was referring to as the horrible icons in my original post, not the oxygen icon set as a whole. I think the icon set is actually very pretty. So to the cause of this behaviour. Obtaining the "oxygen-icon-theme" package from 11.2 and 11.3, unrpm-ing them, generating a file list with ls -R > file and running kompare on the lists shows that there are many icons no longer present in the 128x128 and 256x256 folders for 11.3. Of course there will be some differences due to the distro upgrade but as the same icons are present in both lists at smaller sizes, I think this is an omisson. So maybe Dolphin is looking for the 128x128 size icon, can't find it, so is enlarging a smaller size of the same icon, leading to this fuzzy icon behaviour. I can also confirm that this behaviour is also present in 11.4. However, further digging in the oss repos shows that on going from 11.2 to 11.3, the "oxygen-icon-theme" package was split, with the large (128x128 and 256x256) icons hived off into the "oxygen-icon-theme-large" package. This large package is also present in 11.4 and 12.1 repos. However, I think that this large package is not installed by default, leading to the problems I have reported. I've uploaded a couple of screen-shots to show the problem. Given that 11.3 is no longer supported, I am happy to leave this bug as "Resolved" and "WorksForMe" but does this problem occur with 11.4 and 12.1 and if so, should I open new reports?

So it should get installed by zypper or yast automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
