Missing icon in window switch list? about green-recorder HOT 17 CLOSED

I don't have the problem here on Fedora 25 or Ubuntu 16.10. Probably you have an old version of GTK+ on your system which has some different configuration/way of setting the icon through the API. Which is causing it this way.

Thank you for your confirmation, @mhsabbagh!

I will ask for feedback in the MATE community if they face the same problem and come back here.

Probably related, I experience a "huge" indicator icon during recording that just looks a bit "odd".

That's really weird O.o Not sure what's the thing causing it like that.

Dear @mhsabbagh,

Another user could reproduce the problem on Ubuntu MATE...

from green-recorder.

What version of MATE are you using? And what version of GTK+ you have?

Can you please try updating to MATE 1.18 (Which uses GTK+ 3) to see the results? Yes, we could have used the hard-coded path to the icon in the /usr/share/pixmaps folder, but we would lose the ability to change the icon based on the icon theme used in the system, which means less integrity with its looking in the future.

I am using the latest version of MATE which is 1.18.

The same applies to my GTK+ version. It is the latest available on Ubuntu 17.04.

How can I find out which one it is?

from green-recorder.

I was able to reproduce the problem here on MATE 1.18 as well. Looks like a bug in appindicator library with the new port to GTK+ 3. Will have to ask MATE developers about it. Because here, the whole icon doesn't appear in the notifications area when making a recording.

@mhsabbagh, thank you for reproducing it!

I guess I will proceed from here and file a bug report against MATE.

I will add the link here when done.

But I've already opened a bug report there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1683020

You had to search for any duplicates first :P

from green-recorder.

My fault, sorry!

I subscribed to your bug report instead. :-)

from green-recorder.

I've built a new version which should fix the issue. Please test it and see (you can update your system to get the new update from the PPA).

This time it really should be working, otherwise it's from the interface's side. (Please allow 30 minutes for the update to be pushed).

from green-recorder.

Solved, thank you! :-)

Except, for now, I cannot make the window smaller than this:

That's weird, I changed nothing about the window more than using of the absolute path: 02c8c14

I can't reproduce here.

Don't worry. It's not a big issue!
