Description Luigi Toscano 2018-09-02 15:01:44 UTC

The icons used by the OSD when the microphone is enabled/disabled or its level is changed are shown as blurry.
The affected icons are:
- microphone-sensitivity-muted
- microphone-sensitivity-low
- microphone-sensitivity-medium
- microphone-sensitivity-high

A quick check in the oxygen-icons5 repository shows that specific icons for those actions do not exists, so they probably fall-back on microphone.png, which has no SVG version and its highest size is 32x32.

Having at least a bigger version of the basic "microphone" icon should be enough to fix the blurriness.

Reported against Plasma 5.13, checked the current master, but the issue has been visible for a (long) while.

Combined screenshots of the blurry icons when changing the microphone volume and when the microphone is muted.

Git commit 99f892b26058698ea6cc8b246bb9e1350b0649c6 by Luigi Toscano.

Symlink microphone to audio-input-microphone on all sizes

Summary:
Right now microphone.png (which is a fall-back for icons like
microphone-sensitivity-{muted,low,medium,high}) exists
as a symbolic link to audio-input-microphone.png for small
icon sizes (16x16, 22x22, 32x32) only.

There is no reason to not have the symlink for all sizes.

As a side effect, the icon is used as OSD for the microphone
keyboard button and having bigger sizes makes it non-blurry.

Test Plan: The microphone OSD is no more blurry.
