Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/452

Describe the bug
Some tray icons are not displayed and others have different sizes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open Ironbar with the tray module
Open Discord
Open the GUI for asusctl
Open KeepassXC with the option to show a system tray icon
See error

Expected behavior

All icons should be the same size
All icons should be visible

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Hyprland 0.35.0-2
Ironbar version: 0.15.0-pre

Additional context
In the screenshot, the missing icon corresponds to Discord
The largest icon corresponds to asusctl
The KeepassXC app icon never appears, it doesn't even show an empty space, like the Discord icon does

Thanks for reporting. Looks like there's still a good way to go before the tray is really there.

I've just opened a draft PR that may resolve the incorrectly sized issues. I'm not easily able to replicate the issues myself, so are you able to test the above PR and see if it helps at all please?

The PR also includes a new icon_size setting for the tray module so you can control that if it's too large/small by default.

Issues with icons not rendering, or items not showing at all run deeper and are going to take a bit longer to resolve.

Adding the icon_size was a secret wish of mine, thanks for that (the bigger icons are much prettier oftentimes). Cheers 💖

I've been testing a bit, the new icon_size setting doesn't prevent that app's icon from getting bigger.
e.g. with icon_size: 25

But it allows to make it bigger
e.g. with icon_size: 80

Looking through the project a bit, it looks like they only use 512x512 icons for the tray. Would it have anything to do with that?

It could be although I don't get why. I request the image is scaled down to size so being too large shouldn't matter.

The only thing I can think of is that the image isn't actually square. Are you able to double check it's 512x512 please?

If you could also send the image file please, I might be able to fudge something to be able to test it myself.

You can get the icons from their repository here

Checking one of the icons, it is indeed a 512x512 image

$ identify -verbose asus_notif_blue.png
Image:
  Filename: asus_notif_blue.png
  Permissions: rw-r--r--
  Format: PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
  Mime type: image/png
  Class: DirectClass
  Geometry: 512x512+0+0
  Resolution: 28.35x28.35
  Print size: 18.06x18.06

Weird, I'm trying that image file directly and it respects icon_size as expected, both smaller and larger. The same goes for the SVGs in the repo so it's not that.

Could you share your module config and related styles please, and I'll try those?

I have just merged a PR that completely rewrites the tray client code. I'm hoping that will resolve all of the issues you have been experiencing (probably except Discord, which seems to have a bugged tray implementation in its side). Can you let me know how the latest master commit works for you please?

Going to close this as I've not heard back, and since the client code has been entirely written I would expect any outstanding issues to now be outdated. If you still have issues, let me know and we can re-open and go from there.
