[Regression Potential] The patch is designed for compatibility where @2 support is not available by listing the @2 directories under "ScaledDirectories=" rather than "Directories=". However it's possible there could be other kinds of issues not found in testing. If there are any omissions or errors in the index.theme, this could cause rendering issues for some categories of icons. Comparing icons on a broad range of applications and systems should catch this class of issues. Hidpi users may find that their machine looks different after the update than it did before.

This is not a regression, but a fix to a bug that's + been present all along. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to humanity-icon-theme in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657863 Title: Icons are too big or the wrong icon is shown on hidpi screens Status in humanity-icon-theme package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in humanity-icon-theme source package in Xenial: New Status in humanity-icon-theme source package in Yakkety: New Bug description: [Impact] Humanity icons are sometimes displayed too big on hidpi screens in 16.04.
