[Bug] Some icons in the Audio Volume widget are tiny

[SimonBrandner]

Description

On Plasma 5.20.5 some icons (the speaker, microphone and settings icons) in the Audio Volume widget are tiny. I was able to reproduce this using a live USB of KDE Neon.

Version info

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux and KDE Neon KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2

PS: I've tried to fix it myself but given my inexperience, in this, I've failed. I'll probably give it another go in the future

I checked on Breeze to compare it, and you're right, the device icons are too small in your case.

Default look:

On Maia Transparent:

So I can confirm the issue on my system as well (Manjaro). I'll see what I can do to improve it when I find some time. On my other theme, the icons are correct. I may figure out how to fix it when comparing them.

Upon the research, the original theme maia, which I forked to create this theme also has this issue. So it looks the problem lies with the original audio.svgz file. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with editing vector graphic, that is why I based the theme on another one, so I could use the graphics. I'll check what I can do about the size increase. I agree that the original one is too tiny and needs to be changed.

I realized, that there are two icons that are affected, audio and microphone. Unfortunately, there is no microphone icon in the theme, so I'm wondering if the system is fetching it from Breeze by default? Additionally, the same icon (audio) has correct size on other widgets, so it's not a matter of graphic size (which is a vector graphic, so it can be resized on demand). I updated all .svgz files from 90 to current standard 96 DPI, but that didn't help. On the default volume widget in Plasma, those icons are still tiny.

Frankly, I have no idea why the same icon has different size in different widgets. There is no obvious configs in this or other themes (that have the correct size of said icons) that would point to the size.

This means, I can't solve it at the moment and will continue to research, but given the fact I'm not a pro in the topic, this may take some time. If you have any suggestions, please post them.

At the moment there are two things to consider:

• where the icon size in a specific widget is specified and how
• where is the microphone icon from and if this matters here (if this fetches from Breeze, then it still applies the tiny size suggesting it's not a matter of graphic, but maybe there is some file that didn't notice that includes this icon)

I've attempted to figure this out myself some time ago but wasn't able to find out what was the cause of this. But I also don't have any experience with this... Anyway, thank you for looking into this! :)
