MX-17: Apps icons on "Notification Area" has random glitches (xfce4-panel)

#1 Post by app4soft »

On "Notification Area" icons of apps shown with random glitches, but in same time on "Windows Buttons" there no such issue.

Image

I think that issue related to transparency on apps icons used for tray (PNG? SVG?).

Apps tested here (but other apps has such issue too):
  • "GoldenDict"
  • "RSS Guard"
  • "Electrum"
Also, some apps has no such issue, for example "uGet" (is it use only SVG icons for tray?)

I also has Papirus, and its look like this issue not related to icon packs.

Tray icons mostly are in-built in each app, and not same as main app icon.

I don't know if this is an issue, but I see RSSGuard is an Ubuntu app, or rather, I can't find it in the MXPI, did you install that using an Ubunti deb?

Just thinking because I see that icon glitching quite a bit.

For "RSS Guard" I use AppImage build Icons look like PNG with transparency For "Electrum" and "GoldenDict" - I install it from MX and Debian repos (don't know at this moment which icons they use for tray)

But, this issue happen not only with those apps, but with some other too. So, think, problem not in packaging.

I think problem with transparency in PNG or SVG support inside "Notification Area" tray.

Is there any alternative tray for xfce4-panel?

One thing that those all have in common is that they all use Qt 5 tray icons, and those have had some issues in the past. CopyQ, which is also Qt 5, often appears too small when it first starts up, and I have to adjust minimum icon size in the Notification area properties for it to wake up and appear the correct size...MX Updater often did that too, and the switch to Qt 5 is supposed to fix that (but I haven't restarted a session for days now).

MX Updater icon still come up small for me. A panel reset always resizes it. Occasionally HP gui gets mangled.

Have you tried the Qt5 MX Updater (apt-notifier) version yet? I had Tim move it to the repo earlier today.

The icon stays at a large size for me with the Qt5 version, where it used to bounce back and forth between large and small sized icon.

Have not seen it come through yet.

EDIT: I just got it, It comes in garbled with a boot or logout/login. However right next to it is a dropbox icon that has always been a problem. I wonder if that is having some affect on it.,
