Oversized icons in Budgie Application indicator

That's interesting.
Of course, timekpr assigns indicator icon when it starts and yes, they are all svgs. There is no need (and no way?) to actually specify the size of it. It works in most of the DEs w/o a problem.
I'll try getting budgie as check what's the issue with the icon and how to solve it.

Although, screenshot would be nice, just upload it to any free image hosting and paste a link in a comment.

Hi, Here's the screenshot and thanks for looking into it:

As you can see - it is oversized, and because of it, the budgie panel overlaps the window, and I've lost ability to move the window. My current way around it is:
1. DESKTOP SETTINGS->TOP PANEL
2. Remove AppIndicator applet.

Well, I saw that oversized icon, it's huuuge...
What can I say, svg handling is broken in Budgie... So far only Budgie shows those enormous icons...
SVG has no notion of size, it fits the area it's put in, I really do not know how Budgie calculates icon sizes in system notification area, but it seems a little off...

Only thing I can do is "downgrade" to png icons in case of Budgie which is not exactly a nice fix.

Ok it will do for now. I might need to report this as a bug to the Budgie group.
So how can I configure/repoint timekpr-next to use .png files as workaround?

Thanks.

Well, the thing is - there are no png files for Timekpr-nExT, it was supposed to be svg only.
You can try to convert the files to png and name them as svg :) It may help...

E.g. try to save original files by appending .ORIG at the end then try to convert each of the SVG to PNG in directory /usr/share/timekpr/icons , I believe the size is 24x24 px.

At some time I may do that by myself and add some option for bugged DEs to fallback to pngs, but it won't be as fast as You just convert the files.

Please report back whether that worked for You.

Each of the svg icons are 300x300 in size .... width and height are specified in the svg file.

Appindicator icons are 22x22 according to the appindicator spec

Well, I saw that svg mentions size in the file... Maybe that's default size or smth, I'm not an expert.
Anyhow, then every DE should show that 300 px icons, but none except Budgie does it.

Please change the size in SVG and try, please report back whether that works for You. If I'll have some free time, I'll try that as well.

By rescaling it in Inkscape to 22px (wider side) I was able to show icon normally Budgie as well, at least in self-contained test case. Great :)
Now I need to resize every status indicator icon, make a timekpr package and verify that in every other (at least major) DE. Not that great, but most likely we have a solution :)

fossfreedom, maybe You could look into that max status icon sizes in Budgie... Someone else could make icon default size even bigger than mine ;)

Thanks will test when I get back from work thanks a lot. I've also lodged it as a bug in the Budgie group:

Eduards - I have had a quick look at budgie as well as mate-desktop.

Both have issues with sizing of icons with timekpr-next.

Not really sure what I can do here - I'm using Gtk.Image.set_pixel_size(22) to set the size - mate is doing an identical set_pixel_size - it seems like this only works when using named_icons.

Hi, Just tested it, and it works! And this is great - it means someone could also design the icons to suit the look and feel.
Thanks again for the quick workaround!

I have fixed the issue and Unity 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04.3 default Gnome seems to work fine.
I'll test that in like 15 downloaded distros and then I'll release a beta and shortly after - a stable version.

Packages are building (beta currently), issue should be fixed/workarounded in Budgie.
