Given how blurry the upscaling looks in comment #10, it might be a feature to not upscale bitmap icons (though we could always get rid of the filtering that makes it blurry). I'm not sure what the intent is so please report an upstream bug at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/-/issues/new
This might be related to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/-/merge_requests/3680 but that change is only in gnome-shell 48.1, so is not in Ubuntu 25.04 yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107293 Title: gnome-shell 48 doesn't scale up low resolution icons like pymol Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 25.04 under Gnome 48 no longer properly scales up low resolution icons. This issue can be easily reproduced by installing the pymol package and then clicking on the Ubuntu icon at the bottom of the Dock to 'Show Apps'. The pymol icon will appear as black icon with a non-scaled low resolution icon displayed in the center of the black box. I haven't found a report of this in the Ubuntu or Gnome bug reports but it has been reported by Arch users of Gnome 48 on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1jks76v/inconsistent_app_icon_sizes_since_updating_to/?sort=old#lightbox --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.32.0-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 25.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2025-04-14 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin" - Daily amd64 (20250414) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: gnome-shell 48.0-1ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.14.0-15.15-generic 6.14.0 RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 48.1-1ubuntu3 Tags: plucky wayland-session Uname: Linux 6.14.0-15-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sudo users _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2107293/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
