Hi, Just some technical background... (I don't know what's the best way to solve all this and I'm open to suggestions)

IIRC, the reason icons are not scaled beyond 48px was that they were taking so much place after that size that it doesn't make sense. Now that we have bigger & wider screens, it might make sense again (the menu bar icon is a "different" issue, since the size is enforced by the fact that it's a real GtkMenuBar widget) > Even if the icons did use the themes correctly, that wouldn't work well > for panel sizes such as 30px, 31px, and 41px to 47px inclusive, just as > it doesn't work well now.

We never scale icons in the panel. For a panel with a size between 24px and 31px, we use the 24px with some padding around it. For 32 to 47, we use the 32px icon with some padding, etc. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
