*not* Unity's fault, I mean. I just had a quick chat with seb128 on the issue, and it looks like it's supposed to be a temporary hack until the average-icon-colour algorithm gets fixed. References: - Bug #962120 (comment #4) - Bug #1081691 (comment #23) But really, encoding the background colour of the tile into the .desktop file has to be *the* hackiest solution ever. Desktop files are recommended to only specify the icon name so that it can be resolved according to the users' icon theme. Icon-theme-specific data really does not belong in the .desktop file. I get that it's not easy (and not possible?) to add custom metadata to .png's, so how about a solution involving an out-of-band file placed beside the icon like $icon_name.png.unity-hint that Unity can parse for hints? -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173886 Title: Wrong background colour for nautilus icon in Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1173886/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
