Limit indicator icon size on large panel

[jrbastien]

Expected behaviour

Indicator icons should be small icons. They are naturally of 28 pixels in height. They should not be as big as dock icons.

Actual behaviour

Since this pull request #43 was introduced, they are way too big if the panel size is over 36 pixels.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Right-click on the panel and set the size to 40 pixels (Windows 10 style task bar). Add dock applet to the panel to compare the size of the icons if you wish.

I solved this on my Ubuntu Mate 22.04 by creating ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.
It's not a perfect solution, but works.

#fast-user-switch-menubar menuitem {
        padding: 0 0px;
        margin: 0 0px;
}

#fast-user-switch-menubar menuitem image {
        -gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.7);
}

I'm no longer on Mate but thanks for providing a solution.

good

I think it is still a bug and this should not be closed. Only a few people will find this workaround and be technical enough to implement it.

I don't mind. By the way this is an ubuntu package. They should fix their buggy stuff.
