Hi, I have the same problem, but my scale factor is at 100%

OS: Fedora 37 DE: Gnome 43.0

Nextcloud client: 3.6.1 Nextcloud server: 24.0.7 UI language: French

I also experience this issue, hope this insight is helpful to someone.

Fedora 37 GNOME 43.1/Nautilus 43 Wayland

I have two monitors. My primary monitor is scaled to 1920x1080@100%, and the other is scaled to 2256x1504@%150.

Here are my findings:

• Changing scaling settings does not affect sync status icon size.
• The icons are also noticeably smaller on my second monitor (2256x1504@%150).
• Changing the size of the thumbnail icons in nautilus does not seem to change the size of the sync status icons.
• The sync status icons only appear to be a reasonable size on my primary monitor (1920x1080@100%) at the lowest possible thumbnail icon size in nautilus.
• This is not an issue with nautilus 43, icons representing files which are symlinks, shared over network, etc. do not have the same issue

If I find the time to look into the native scaling implementation used for symlink icons and such, I will, But, if anyone else decides to look into this issue, that's where I would start.

I don't think this is a nextcloud issue as I have the same issue with other overlay icons like disks. It looks more like a gnome 43/nautilus 43 bug. I didn't have these issues before updating to gnome 43.

Same here. Manjaro with Gnome 43.2

Same issue on Fedora 38.

This is the result of icons generated out of shell_integration/icons/<size>/oC_xxx.png Using icons from shell_integration/icons/nopadding will fix this issue

Comparison: shell_integration/icons/16x16/oC_ok.png shell_integration/icons/nopadding/ok.iconset/icon_16x16.png

FYI: same issue if using e.g. Papirus icon theme. I had to center and resize the emblems/Nextcoud_xxx.svg files.

UPDATE: mixed up the path. fixed

Not sure what designers should do here? Of coures theicons should be well visible...

Not sure what designers should do here?

Actually nothing :) In this particular case the designers job is done. The icons are already present at shell_integration/icons/nopadding. The task at hand is to figure out how to use those instead of the padded ones.
