** Summary changed: - Application launcher should choose 32 px PNG icons over SVG + Launcher loads 48 px icons instead of 32 px ** Description changed: Binary package hint: unity - It seems like the application launcher (to the left) always rasterizes - the SVG icon of an application even if a 32 px PNG version of the same - icon is available. This causes the icons to be a bit blurry. Two icons - are attached to this bug report which demonstrate the rather obvious - difference. + The launcher loads its icons with a size of 48 px, but actually displays + it with a size of 32 px. Scaling the icons down causes them to look + blurry. Two icons are attached to this bug report which demonstrate the + rather obvious difference.
