Small battery icon in a dual battery setup

[pgera]

Since there were a few battery related threads in the past, I'm not sure if this has already been covered. I recently installed an additional slice battery. In the dropdown menu in unity 7 (top right), one of the batteries is smaller than the other.

Do you happen to have any experiences using other desktop environments?

[pgera]

Not with this setup. I can try live booting into something else. I did notice that once the battery is charged, the icon sizes match. So it's only the charging icon that is smaller.

Can you try with Numix Circle/Square applied?

I have seen this before on my unity desktop. I havn't got a dual battery but for me, the "charged" icon always seemed way bigger (and blurrier) than the "charging" icons in the unity panel (although the icon files seem to have a similar size). I personally took a "charging" icon, manually edited it and exchanged all "charged" icons. Size is fine now.

So this would be my battery icon when charged: This is the icon after pulling the plug:

The first one is definitally too big as all other battery status icons are as small as in the 2nd screenshot.

It's the same when using Numix-Square/-Circle icon theme.

Edit: I found the reason (screenshots from Inkscape):

The Icons background is scaled differently. The icons above are both found in the Numix/scalable/status directory.

OK, so this is differently a bug which seems only comes apparent when using Unity.

I just checked that this happens even with a single battery. So either I never noticed it earlier, or maybe this regressed at some point.

Asking a bit late but @pgera @Chinney , does this still occur? How does it look with the Adwaita theme applied?

[Chinney]

Dear @palob I have updated to gnome and not seen it eversince.
