I'm using the "accessories-calclulator" icon which comes from humanity-icon-theme and it's rendering the 48x48 SVG as a bitmap and then scaling it down to 32x32 which looks really ugly. Previously the image looked sharp and well defined, so it must have been rendering SVG images at 32x32.

Setting GTK_ICON_LOOKUP_FORCE_SIZE when looking up the launcher icon fixes this issue.

This is the first thing I noticed on a fresh install of 15.04.
Launcher icons are far too big by default yet they look awful at any other size.
This was marked as confirmed nearly 3 months ago and still not fixed or even assigned?

I have the same problem. I've tried a few other themes/icons (nitrux works), but I'd still like the problem to be solved. Any news on this issue?

This bug is also present in Ubuntu 15.10, I hope will be resolved in the very annoying, icon chrome is unwatchable, but unfortunately I see that has not yet been assigned.

Will a fix be pushed out to ubuntu users with 15.04, or will it only be available in newer versions of Ubuntu?

Is this issue fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 as on December 2016? Because my launcher icons and panel text still appear pixelated when using Integrated Intel graphics on my notebook. But the icons appear fine when using Nvidia graphics after switching with nvidia-prime.

This was fixed in 15.10, is still fixed in 16.04, and has nothing to do with panel text.
