[Solved]Network status icon in tray small and lacking transparency

rostou · 2016-03-12 02:56:38

I am not sure if this is a bug or not. There is a red square around the network icon in the system tray. Is that supposed to be there? The icon also seems to be a bit smaller than I would expect.

Update: After restarting tint2, the red border disappeared but the network icon is now inset in an opaque black square, as if the image lacks transparency, and still seems too small compared to the sound and clipboard icons. If this is reproduceable, I'm guessing it is just a matter of replacing the icon image file?

Does the problem persist after restarting the compositor? "Menu -> Preferences -> Compositor -> Restart Compositing" or

bl-compositor --restart

What graphics card are you using?

Restarting the compositor doesn't change it. Here is my graphics card info:

Slot: 00:02.0
Class: VGA compatible controller
Vendor: Intel Corporation
Device: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
SVendor: Dell
SDevice: Device 04d8
Rev: 09

Do you have the problem if you disable compositing?

Are you using default icons and tint2? If not then tell us what they are: show your tint2rc config (using [ code ] tags ).

Any help for you here?

It looks the same when I disable compositing. I am using the default icons and tint2. I tried the suggestion in the thread you referenced of delaying the launching of the compositor, to no effect. Is there somewhere I can post a screenshot?

You can post one here! Or did you mean where can you upload one.....many of us are using http://scrot.moe/, but there are many free image hosts.

NB Post a thumbnail, with a link to the fullsize image:

[url=/link/to/fullsize/image][img]/link/to/thumbnail[/img][/url]

postimg.org is a good one, they provide forum-formatted links.

Thanks for the tips. Here's the screenshot:

(Sorry I didn't embed the thumbnail as suggested.)

I am wondering if the tray isn't pulling in the 32px icon rather than the 24px version, the former of which has a dark gray background. It looks like the relevant location is /usr/share/icons/Faenza/status/.

Try setting the icon size to 24 in ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc

systray_icon_size = 24

EDIT: You will have to reload the tint2 configuration after changing the file:

pkill -usr1 tint2

You nailed it! Thank you. Maybe this should be added to the default tint2rc.
