Description Fabian Vogt 2018-03-03 17:13:29 UTC

glowbar.svgz is broken - the center pieces are rounded so can't be used to draw straight edges.

This results in the edge glow effect drawing a wave instead of a bar.

Someone familar with SVG tiles could check this.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-11-13 13:53:54 UTC

Fabian is correct. The north/south/east/west tiles of the glowbar.svgz images need to have straight edges, not a curve.

It would probably be more aesthetically pleasing if the strength and size of the glow were toned down a bit, too.

Looks like that particular request is already tracked in Bug 337712.

Change glowbar.svgz to smoother style

Summary:
The old style was weird. When the screen edge feature was enabled for the sides of screens, it looked like a bunch of dots smooshed together. Now it's one smooth bar.

Test Plan:
Before {F6599392} {F6599445, size=full}
After {F6599389} {F6599444, size=full}
