Linux Indicator-plugin icon is too big
Using Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 the indicator icon is now too big. Tested on multiple desktops (with more or less the same setup).
Edit: 3.5.2881
The size looks fine on KDE, but the icon is blurry. I suspect that wire-desktop only has a single size for the icon (64x64 ?) and Ubuntu changes the notification area size to accommodate 64x64, while KDE scales the icon down to fit leading to a blurry icon.
Seen with wire-desktop 3.0.2816 and 3.5.2881
Using Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 the indicator icon is now too big. Tested on multiple desktops (with more or less the same setup).
Edit: 3.5.2881
This is also the case on recent versions of Linux Mint.
I have the same problem on 18.04 budgie, see: https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/701#issuecomment-456822055
This apparently needs to be fixed in the application (I use 3.5.2881 / 2019.01.17.1508) Others have similar issue (other app, but same problem) with mate. So I assume this would also affect wire on mate: https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/issues/67
Quick fix: Shrink the tray.png in /opt/Wire/resources/app/img/tray-icon/tray to 22px and restart wire. It works, but it's just a band-aid.
Edit: I meant tray.gnome.png and you should also change the tray-with-badge variant.
Why was this issue closed? Wire just received an update and I was greeted by this
I will now go an resize the icons again, so I wouldn't call it fixed.
It seems like budgie is using the tray.gnome.png instead of the tray.png for the app indicator. I don't know if this is a budgie thing or a wire thing. Is wire assuming, that budgie is unity or gnome?
I don't know if this info helps to fix the issue. If you choose a language in Wire, Wire will restart. After the restart the icon is normal in Ubuntu Budgie. I don't know what the difference is
I can confirm @sirdrakeistda 's weird workaround: I choose a different language in the "Wire > Languages" dropdown and the icon size is fine after it restarts, on my Ubuntu Budgie 18.04-derivative. However, once I close Wire, and reopen it, the icon is back to huge.
@stragu this is indeed a strange workaround :smiley: Let me investigate on this.
Just so you know, this is still the case in 3.10.2904 on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.
Yes, but they changed the folder names so my workaround needs to be changed accordingly.
I get a squeezed icon with Solus-Budgie.
The icon is still too big with the language fix imo.
@ffflorian I am still getting the same issue with 3.11.2912 in Ubuntu 18.04 with Budgie.
I still have this problem with 3.12.2916 (Ubuntu, amd64 deb).
Even worse - the workaround posted by @ffflorian is not applicable, resources seems to be gone and now there is resources.pak ?
@ffflorian I am still getting the same issue with Wire 3.21.2936 in Ubuntu 20.04.1 with Budgie. The change language workaround is working as @stragu and @sirdrakeistda has told. It seems that on language switch there is some code routine executed which is not executed on startup which is resizing the system tray icon.
It's (still) very very annoying to have to restart wire with the language switch workaround on every reboot :-/
@ffflorian Did you found some time to investigate the issue? Or is there something I can do about this? I am still getting the same issue with "Wire Version 3.21.2936" and "Wire for Web Version 2021.02.02.15.16" in Ubuntu 20.04.2 with Budgie.

Still the case on Budgie with Wire-3.21.2936_amd64.deb from GitHub. The workaround with language change does fix it.
@danielroehrig @danielroehrig-mm is this still the case for you with Wire Desktop 3.11.2912?
@ffflorian It is still the case with Wire Version 3.21.2936 and it (bug & workaround at every start) results in a reallly really bad user experience :disappointed:
