I've reported this in github also: https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome- shell-extension-appindicator/issues/181. I'm not sure which is the better place since upstream = distro here.
** Bug watch added: github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues #181 https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/181 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-appindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832793 Title: Size is not right with hidpi (both 2x and 1x with font scaling) Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've tried this in two different hidpi monitors with different scaling configurations: 1) A 1920x1080 screen with scale factor 1x and font scale factor 1.25. 2) A 3000x2000 screen with scale factor 2x. In the first one, icons are too small, I have to change: this._iconBox = new AppIndicator.IconActor(indicator, Panel.PANEL_ICON_SIZE + 6); to this._iconBox = new AppIndicator.IconActor(indicator, Panel.PANEL_ICON_SIZE + 12); OTOH, icons are a little too big in the second setting and I have to do: this._iconBox = new AppIndicator.IconActor(indicator, Panel.PANEL_ICON_SIZE + 2); Icons directly managed by gnome shell are not sized according to PANEL_ICON_SIZE, see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/blob/master/js/ui/panelMenu.js Short of a smarter way of computing icons size, you could provide a setting to adjust it so that the user could fine tune it if necessary without hacking the code.
