[Solved] Orange icons appear in Gnome 3.14 top bar

Mindstormscreator · 2014-10-26 22:06:18

Ever since I upgraded to Gnome 3.14, I've seen these strange orange circle icons in my top bar. They appear to have no function. See for yourself:

If I click the tray icons, an orange circle also appears next to each collapsable setting (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc). If I click on on of the entries, the orange circle changes shape a little. If you'd like pictures of that too, just ask.

Pretty strange.

Hm, I have Gnome to, and they don't appear in my topbar. But based on your Pictures, they appear where I have arrows that inicat a collapseable menu...
Could be a Theme-related problem (like missing/wrong icon). You could test if they appear in another theme as well.

(Apparently, since Gnome 3.14 multitouch has been added...does it work for anybody? It won't for me...)

Just tried it with Elegance Colors; same deal.
EDIT: Just determined they only appear with the Numix Circle icon theme enabled (plain Numix is fine). I'll try reinstalling Numix to see if that does anything.

Multitouch support in 3.14 is only for touchscreen devices; the Gnome team claims 3.16 will support it for touchpads. I'm upset as well.

There was a bug in gtk+ introduced somewhere around 3.13.9* that caused this exact behaviour, but it should have been fixed before 3.14 was released iirc. Are you sure your gnome/gtk packages are up to date?

I'm also using numix-circle from git, and I don't see this issue any more.

Well, I have a ThinkPad X220T with a touchscreen from Wacom. Apparently, that doesn't count as a Touchscreen for Gnome. I'll just write them and see what they say

I just updated to the latest gnome-shell and adwaita-icon-theme, and the orange icons disappeared like magic. I'm cool with that.
