[Bug 40852] volume control applet icon changes when panel is resized

[Jonathon Conte]

Public bug reported:

Affects: tango-icon-theme (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I'm running Dapper testing and have tango-icon-theme 0.7.1-0ubuntu3
installed.

When the panel is resized and the Tango icon theme is active, the icon
for the volume applet changes from a PNG icon to an SVG icon. Currently
the PNG audio volume icons in the tango-icon-theme package differ in
appearance from the SVG audio volume icons in the same package.

I do not think that it is visually appealing or intuitive to a user for
an applet's icon to change appearance when its panel is being resized.
Ideally, the icon's appearance should remain the same but it should
scale with the panel.

If the PNG and SVG icons in the Tango theme are meant to be visually
distictive then this bug is actually with the Volume applet or the panel
itself (the applet's icon should not switch between a theme's SVG and
PNG icons). However, if the PNG and SVG icons in a theme are supposed to
look the same then this bug is with tango-icon-theme and the following
icons are affected:
