Mail: Avatars with transparency shown with avatar placeholder background

[jancborchardt]

Expected behavior

Avatars with transparent background are shown with the avatar circle being either white (or transparent, but likely doesn’t look good in dark mode) so that the logos / icons are shown correctly.

Actual behavior

The randomly generated color from the avatar placeholder shows through in the background. This happens for quite a lot of mails:

Shown are e.g. Meetup.com, Mattermost, FSFE, Open Source Initiative, Tito, Pretix, Eventbrite and Twitter.

Info

Mail app version: current master
Nextcloud Version: current master

I wonder if this is coming from the nc-vue lib or our code. We actually show either the placeholder or the image: https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/374ad54ea0c1956d77b032817111b3a0af10e1cc/src/components/Avatar.vue#L23-L24

@skjnldsv @juliushaertl @nextcloud/vue can you shed light on that? ^

[juliushaertl]

Not sure if that is set somewhere, but I also cannot reproduce

@juliushaertl on mail Jan showed it to me. :man_shrugging:

Can’t reproduce it on cloud.nextcloud.com either so if you can’t reproduce it on your local installs, I guess it might be some misconfiguration of my dev instance. :)

[jancborchardt]

Can reproduce it again, on cloud.nc, also same issue as in Contacts at https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/1066
