[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1392468] [NEW] qemu uses a bitmap icon

[Ingo Bürk]

Public bug reported:

qemu currently uses the icon in pc-bios/qemu-icon.bmp, which, obviously,
is a bitmap file. It is loaded such that white pixels will be
transparent. This can cause nasty artifacts in the display.

Unless there is a specific reason to use bitmaps, I'd suggest moving to,
e.g., a PNG file with a proper alpha channel.

[Jakub Jermar]

For me the icon looks ugly if QEMU is run by the normal user. However,
when run via sudo, it looks normal for some reason and does not display
any of the white pixels.

[Francesco Turco]

I also see an ugly icon when running QEMU as a user in GNOME. I tried
running QEMU as root to see if there is any difference, but it doesn't
work at all. I think QEMU should use pc-bios/qemu_logo_no_text.svg
instead of pc-bios/qemu-icon.bmp.

Gees, some please fix this already! Ubuntu 16.04.2 also uses some ugly
icon.  Why not ditch the bitmaps and use this official svg?

On Ubuntu 18.04 and this is still an issue.

Please don't make QEMU look like a crappy piece of software. It deserves
a crisp icon.
