I'm not sure which path you mean... Adwaita icons are proven for Gnome Shell but break Unity (Unity needs changing to avoid loading some of them by accident). The icons we have right now are the only proven solution that work in Gnome Shell and Unity.
So there are at least four ways forward: (a) Do nothing (b) Make the 16x16 battery icons longer and less square (c) Use Adwaita battery icons, but this requires changing Unity code to not pick some up by accident. (d) Modify Gnome Shell code to support our old rectangular icons from 17.04. It sounds to me like either of your preferred options (c) and (d) require shell code hacking. ** Also affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711085 Title: battery icon is distorded under GNOME Shell Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Even if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu- themes/+bug/1693155 is fixed, the icon is still distorded in non Hi- DPI environment. The issue is that the icons aren't really square. Let's use the upstrema indicator icons, while still preserving them in the Unity session.
