Description Olaf Lenz 2007-01-17 09:45:50 UTC

This bug is actually a duplicate of bug 132632, however, I can't add a comment there. The problem persists on OpenSUSE 10.2.

The problem is that the Thunderbird icon used in the panel or on the desktop of KDE has a very low resolution.

Steps to reproduce:
- drag Thunderbird from the KDE menu onto the desktop

Suggested solution:
The problem is actually not the icon itself, but the file 
/usr/share/applications/MozillaThunderbird.desktop 
that contains the name of the icon file. The file contains the line

icon=thunderbird

Unfortunately, KDE will map this to the file "thunderbird.xpm", which contains a lowres icon. The problem is most apparent when you drag Thunderbird to the desktop: the icon that appears is pretty bad.

When you replace the above line by

icon=thunderbird.png

the problem is fixed.

Probably it would make sense to replace the above line in the MozillaThunderbird.desktop-file in the next release?

No, this will break everything for non-KDE users because thunderbird.png is a KDE icon. This icon is part of the kdebase3 package, it is not included in e.g. a default GNOME installation. Besides that, the image file name endings are left out on purpose in order to allow theming with png, svg and xpm formats with a single .desktop file.

You should instead just ship a better icon with the MozillaThunderbird package.

We can only ship what's delivered (or at least approved) by the Mozilla Corporation but we can check what's possible.

Upstream has been aware of this for some time:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262265

Since upstream controls the trademark, I think we need to let upstream handle this.  We'll get new icons once they're provided upstream.  Resolving LATER.

mass reopening all 10.2 LATER+REMIND bugs.

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:23:58 UTC

close all 10.2 LATER/REMIND bugs as WONTFIX. Reopen yourself if you still plan to work on it.
