Tray Icon Edge Chipped

[W4RH4WK]

Description

The tray icon's lower left corner is chipped. This is of course low priority but triggers my OSD.

Steps to reproduce

• Start Element Desktop
• Ensure tray icon is enabled
• Look at tray icon
• Try stopping to look at it (not easy)

Here a magnified screenshot:

Interestingly the icon located in the repository doesn't have this problem at this size:

Version information

• OS: Windows 10 1909

I am still on 1.7.13 and today, after starting the application, the icon looks fine:

If you compare the two icons in the previous post, you can see that they are different despite the chipped edge. The icon the app uses today seems to be closer (maybe even identical) to the second icon I posted.

It seems to be related to notifications. The initial icon is different from the one used for notifications.

So the latter icon is the favicon from the webapp passed through; based on https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/res/vector-icons/favicon.ico - it looks like whatever is downsizing that is broken. I do not have that problem on Windows.

I do not have that problem on Windows.

Is a Windows component used for downsizing? I'd think that the app brings along its own library for image handling / processing.

That'll be in the guts of Electron/Chromium, Element does not bring its own platform-specific libraries for such things.

Ok. Any ideas why this (apparently) only occurs on my system?
