Bug 829203 – net-im/zoom-5.8.6.739: wrong icon?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fulgurance 2021-12-14 19:47:39 UTC]

Hello, today I emerged the last version of zoom, and I seen the desktop icon isn't good.

Something wrong in the last ebuild ?

[Comment 1 Mike Gilbert 2021-12-14 20:04:10 UTC]

What version of net-im/zoom?

Please describe what you expect to see versus what you actually see. Screen shots would be helpful.

That's not the icon installed by net-im/zoom. Questions:

1. Do the following icons look correct?
/usr/share/pixmaps/zoom-icon.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/zoom-icon.svg

2. Please attach /usr/share/applications/zoom-zoom.desktop

3. What is the output of "grep -ilr zoom /usr/share/applications"?

For your first questions, all icons are good.

For the second question, I had the attachement.

For the third one:

 zohran   master  ~  Documents  Programmation  ISM  grep -ilr zoom /usr/share/applications
/usr/share/applications/zoom-zoom.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

I don't know if it's relevant, but I have a 4k screen, and before with my old laptop, I didn't have this problem, maybe a problem with the scale ?

My plasma laptop is with scale of 200%, because of the screen resolution

[Comment 8 Fulgurance 2021-12-28 11:53:17 UTC]

But it's the only one icon with this problem

[Comment 9 Ulrich Müller 2021-12-28 12:44:22 UTC]

These files look all correct.

The icon that you see is a generic icon of KDE. No idea why that would show up, when the desktop file specifically says "Icon=zoom-icon", and zoom-icon.svg exists both in /usr/share/pixmaps/ and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/.

CCing KDE team, any idea what is happening here?

[Comment 10 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-12-28 13:10:24 UTC]

All I can say right now is, it is using the same system zoom action icon on my system.

[Comment 11 Ulrich Müller 2021-12-28 18:40:26 UTC]

I wonder if we shouldn't rename the icon (again), e.g. to videoconference-zoom.svg in order to prevent fallback to the system zoom icon.

[Comment 12 Ulrich Müller 2022-01-09 14:18:53 UTC]

The "Icon Naming Specification" https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#guidelines says:

| The dash “-” character is used to separate levels of specificity in
| icon names, for all contexts other than MimeTypes. For instance, we
| use “input-mouse” as the generic item for all mouse devices, and we
| use “input-mouse-usb” for a USB mouse device. However, if the more
| specific item does not exist in the current theme, and does exist in
| a parent theme, the generic icon from the current theme is preferred,
| in order to keep consistent style.

So what I suspect is that for some reason the window manager doesn't find "zoom-icon" in its current theme and falls back to "zoom". According to the spec it should prefer (what it thinks is) the generic icon to "zoom-icon" in another theme.

I am going to rename the icon to "videoconference-zoom" in zoom-5.9.1.1380, which will hopefully prevent the fallback to the zoom system icon.
