screenshot http://wstaw.org/m/2012/07/13/plasma-desktopRV2290.png the blinking star in the top right corner of the notification icon is badly scaled and looks blurred Reproducible: Always Actual Results: bad scaling Expected Results: appropriate scaling supposedly this is caused by using a too big an icon resolution for that overlay thingy?
We actually don't use overlay, it's "mail-unread-new" icon. We could probably try loading the icon ourselves at defined size and then use KSNI::setIconByPixmap(..). But that would also require some adjustments on panel size changes events.
No hacking this ourselves. Bug is in KStatusNotifierItem/Plasma it should be reported and fixed there.
The boss has spoken.
Hello! This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!
