Regression: Various graphical defects

[joshqou]

Updated from b81f786ee91f5bd77cbebbbdb5b5343d6eadc609 to ebc16577a39e3e6a8be0fd57a1b6e7839af51fdf and I'm getting some weird rendering artifacts. Primarily overly pixelated icons, icons losing their bottom padding, and render tearing

There was also a very odd bug where the icon's containers would be stretched upwards (visible somewhat in the image) for small icon sizes with shrink icons enabled, however I can't seem to reproduce that after resetting extension settings.

I saw this once or twice. But could not reproduce anymore.

I reverted a change which possibly caused this. You try the next commit. And play around the icon sizes and icon quality. To see what might cause this.

I had the same issue, installing from current main branch fixed it

[FrancescoCaracciolo]

Nevermind, I have this problem again

[icedman]

Nevermind, I have this problem again

Please also try resetting the settings.

I reverted another previous change. The icon size is now again constantly recalculated while in animation. This uses a little bit more CPU but seems to fix the pixelated issue.

Default settings, only dash2dock extension enabled, main branch If it's useful, OS: Arch Linux, Gnome version: 46, screen resolution 1080p, scaling 100%

Could you check the logs if an error occurred somewhere

[icedman]

Oh.. main branch.. I have not pushed to the main branch yet.. will do after go through my checklist

How do I check the logs?

Oh.. main branch.. I have not pushed to the main branch yet.. will do after go through my checklist

Do I need to test the development branch?

[icedman]

journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat

Watch the log while running the extension. And look for errors the moment the icons become pixelated.

I haven't seen pixelation error since I reverted some changes. But it is in the development branch yet. I would really help if you could check it out. So I could close the issue.

[icedman]

Also, are you using PNG icons. Try SVG icons see if there is any difference.

Still on main branch I switched to default adwaita icons before (default icon quality, no log) Only the gnome-extensions icon seems pixelated for some reason, but it's good looking overall While the extension is enabled, I switched icon pack back to tela icon pack it was way more pixelated And then switching back to adwaita (they are now way more pixelated): All of this with default icon quality (the behavoir is pretty similar even with a different icon quality) Here are the log white I did all of this: https://pastebin.com/3h1BRDbd

Thank you. This is helpful.

I merged the development branch to main. This still has a few issues. - But not of them are nastier than that pixelation bug.

[icedman]

Did a coding binge last night to fix these pixelated icons bug. Please checkout the development branch.

With disabled animations there are some annoying black backgrounds behind the icons. How can I get rid of them? Had not found any color setting for that.

[icedman]

Looks like a css style from your OS. This will have to be overriden by the extension. I will include in the next release.
