Comment 17 for bug 1313531

Hi, both xfce4-indicator-plugin and Gnome Fallback's indicator applet simply display the icon received provided by the indicator. Libindicator API does not allow to specify the icon size and therefore the convention is that all icon sizes are 22px. Indicators that violate this rule (multiload) are doing that because they require a specific panel geometry anyway.

A similar issue existed in wallch (another wallpaper changer, do they share the code?) and was fixed there by simply resizing the icon to 22px.

In the past I tried doing icon scaling on the fly but it was buggy, CPU consuming and causing maintenance problems. So unless libindicator starts supporting icon size selection/scaling I will not add this feature to the plugin.
