This didn't happen to me in a couple of Ubuntu releases, but upgrading to Maverick (stardict-gnome 3.0.1-7) introduced it here.
I just checked with "strace -f -e open -o /tmp/star.out stardict" that only the icons from /usr/share/stardict/pixmaps/ are loaded. Viewing these icons with eog or another tool shows them transparent, but in the notification area I get that light grey background just like in the screenshot linked above. To verify that the icons don't suffer from some obscure format error, I replaced one of them (after backing it up) with a knowingly working one: cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/updates-notifier.png /usr/share/stardict/pixmaps/docklet_stop.png The result is the update notifier icon on a light grey background. So the problem must be the way the icons are displayed, not the icons themself. -- [stardict] notification icon not transparent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
