Looks like the presentation is now consistently transparent. So that's good, sorta. I'm now going to change this bug to be about how transparent backgrounds for icons looks terrible.
I've proposed the attached branch to fix this. ** Summary changed: - [Icons] Inconsistent tranparent app icon handling + [Icons] Transparent app icon backgrounds look bad ** Description changed: I uploaded an app with an icon that had a transparent background. - The Ubuntu Store scope renders it with a white background. - The dash renders it transparent. - The launcher renders it transparent. + In the dash, the wallpaper is visible behind the icon. And in the + launcher, the icon is presented on a dark background, making it look + very different than the dash with its white background. - I think the Store is doing the right thing. But any solution is fine, as - long as it is consistent. + Neither looks great, and makes the shell look a little janky. + Obviously, the app author should just fix their icon. But if they DO + give us a bad icon, we should fix it for them, else we look bad too. ** Description changed: I uploaded an app with an icon that had a transparent background.
