Inconsistency of icon orientation on the taskbar #3744

Open FreeSlave opened 4 months ago

FreeSlave commented 4 months ago

After the anniversary update some mod icons appear to be vertically mirrored on the taskbar (at least for me on Linux).

E.g. I have a sample mod directory with "gearbox" as fallback_dir, so it uses game.tga from gearbox/ directory. The icon for this mod appears flipped on the taskbar. image Opposing Force itself however doesn't exhibit such issue.

Another mod example (Half-Life: Induction). You can see the lambda is flipped. image

This isn't an issue on the steam_legacy branch.

I also noticed the change to the valve/game.tga was introduced with the anniversary update. In the old version it had Orientation: TopLeft and in the current version it's Orientation: BottomLeft. I guess something has changed to what tga format is expected by the game and it affects mods.

All I want to know is whether this change will be reverted/fixed in future. Or should we stick to BottomLeft orientation for game icons from now on? (which on other hand would look flipped on the steam_legacy branch).

I might be wrong but I thought it was changed to TopLeft some time in the last decade (because I had some trouble getting my mod to show the icon the correct way).
