MEGAsync icon in XFCE4 sistem tray about megasync

[polmr]

Interesting .... I've been able to reproduce this with other distributions. It is definitely some XFCE thing. It only happens when you use the lowest size (being that 15, 13, 12 or whatever <I'm guessing that depends on resolution/other appearance settings>). This is solved by increasing the size, or reloading the pannel with: xfce4-panel -r. I would suggest you to write to XFCE guys. IMHO this is a corner case situation, so as to implement any dirty fix from our side (forcing a panel reload everytime megasync opens/using a tiny icon/...)

@wyre, I've just been able to reproduce it. It seems xfce panel is having problems with Qt5 apps. See: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/flickering-panel-when-set-autohidden-on-click-notification-area-qt-icons/3810. It's been reported here already: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11733. For the moment you might want to avoid "intelligent autohide".

@wyre Sorry for the late response. I am unable to reproduce in an XFCE environment. It scales properly. However, xfce allows you to define the maximum icon size for the notification area:
Panel -> panel preferences -> Items -> Notification Area -> Edit current selected item (cogwheel)

Well, I've got this issue because I've setup my maximum size of the icons in the system tray in 15px (the lowest) And the issue appears in system startup when xfwm4 is loaded from system init (for first time).

When I modify this value (maximum size of the icons in the system tray) with right click over system tray > properties (basically the same as you've pointed to me), the issue is fixed and icon returns to normal.

PS: I'm running in ArchLinux with xfce 4.12; another helpful info could it be my panel has 2 rows of 20px size each one.

Ok, I'll try to contact with them and keep informing here, thank you so much!

[polmr]

It's been quite a long while... but, @wyre is there any news on that?

[jfernandz]

Well, I've posted the issue in the bug tracker, but I haven't got answers,

@wyre you should create a new issue, not post on one dated 2014.

[jfernandz]

It seems have been solved for xfce4-panel 4.12.1-1 in ArchLinux. I don't know if it has to do with my post, I don't think so but I've tested several times (rebooting) and now the icon is resized properly.

Maybe it was your last update, but now when I open Mega menu the xfce4-panel begins to blinking frantically. I've observed that happens when your panel is setup to hide automatically.

[polmr]

@wyre, I am afraid that I cannot reproduce it. Anyway, I understand that this is a bug for xfce. megasync does nothing actively with the panel.

[Pival81]

I've read somewhere else that you just need to use the appindicator, just install alltray and:
alltray megasync

@polmr really is with 'intelligent autohide', sorry. @Pival81 xfce4 is based on gtk3 I think.

I'm closing this one since it is not an actual megasync issue. Hopefully this ticket will serve as reference if anyone is experiencing the same problem
