I tried a few things: reinstalled libreoffice-common (which contains the icons).
Nothing changed I changed an icon manually and it worked (changed to hicolor icons, 48x48). Nothing changed dconf-editor: claims desktop icon set is ubuntu-mono-dark (which has no libreoffice icons). No entry for nautilus. Thus the question: How does Unity get its icons? The desktop file states (e.g. /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop): ... Icon=libreoffice-writer ... and on the machine I can find: ./app-install/icons/libreoffice-writer.svg ./icons/gnome/16x16/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/gnome/32x32/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/gnome/48x48/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/gnome/128x128/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/gnome/scalable/apps/libreoffice-writer.svg ./icons/gnome/256x256/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/libreoffice-writer.xpm ./icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/libreoffice-writer.svg ./icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/16x16/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/32x32/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/48x48/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/22x22/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/256x256/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/HighContrast/24x24/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/locolor/16x16/apps/libreoffice-writer.png ./icons/locolor/32x32/apps/libreoffice-writer.png Presuming Nautilus being a Gnome application, Nautilus searches for the icons in the gnome part first (maybe someone can answer this quickly before I have to dig into the sources). So, as I am completely confused now, how can I help sort this out? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448407 Title: icons size issues in Nautilus Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 15.04 (right after upgrade) Macbook Pro Retina 15 (menu scaling to 1,62) Nautilus scaling 150% for icons and 66% for lists Icons in Nautilus are displayed properly except for LibreOffice icons which are displayed 200-250%. Previews are displayed same size as LibreOffice icons. MS document files are displayed properly (150%) Dragging a file over a folder previously (14.10) made the folder darker (sometimes changing icon to opened) and the file could be dropped. In 15.04 (Nautilus 3.14.2) the folder icon SHRINKS (to 100%) and cannot be seen under the dragged icon. Would be nice if the old behaviour would be restored.
