Element-web: Regression in 0.17: tray icon is now tiny in KDE Plasma

[Pointedstick]

Description

Upon upgrading to version 0.17, Riot's tray icon in KDE Plasma is tiny.

Steps to reproduce

• Use KDE Plasma
• Upgrade to Riot 0.17
• Look at the tray icon. As of 0.17, it looks like this:
  
  As you can see, all other tray icons are fine. Riot's tray icon was fine too, until upgrading to Riot 0.17. No other updates were performed.

Version information

• Platform: desktop
• OS & VERSION: Kubuntu 18.04 with KDE Plasma 5.12.7. Riot 0.17.

AMAZING.

I guess this is an (undesirable) side-effect of having bumped the electron version :(

Is there any news or workarounds for this issue? I have suffered from it for some months now. It does not make the application defunct, but it makes it very hard to see on the icon, whether there are notifications.

[ashledombos]

Indeed same here. I hope this issue is not ignored.

I am with KDE 5.14 on Debian testing and the tray icon is unfortunately still a blurb green square, that turns pink when a message arrives.
Riot is up to date with Riot Debian repository (https://riot.im/packages/debian/)

I think the resizing of the icon is not working :-(

Same here running the latest KDE Neon 5.15

On a fresh Debian 9 install, I see the small icon when installing from the repository, but building from source and running as a desktop app using node v8.15.0 and npm v6.4.1, which uses electron v4.0.5, results in a properly sized and functioning icon.

So... it's fixed? We just have to wait for another release for the repo version to work.

[Pointedstick]

Yep, fixed for me too now.

@Pointedstick, please reopen the bug: issue still exists if libappindicator1 and libappindicator3 uninstalled or libayatana-appindicator1 or 3 used.

[mortlind]

I agree with @akontsevich

[aaronraimist]

@lampholder is that confirmed? Did you find an issue on Electron? Have they fixed it in a more recent version?

[yannicka]

I'm using KDE Plasma (on Kubuntu) and I see this (Riot 1.6.0):

Is it fixed?

[t3chguy]

Assuming fixed unless someone complains otherwise
