  • Are you using extensions? That does not seem to be the default gnome-shell appearance.

This is fixed with version 4. You should now update, preferably by using E.G.O. The problem is I set the icon size to be too big in stylesheet.css. If you'd like to modify it, you only need to change the height to 22, in both places. The new version 4 will be available on Github & E.G.O very soon, and fixes several problems.

For everyone with the problem, press Alt+F2 and enter the following:

gnomesu gedit .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/stylesheet.css

Then, find and change the 'height' to a lesser value like 20/18/16/14 and then Ctrl+S to save, Alt+F2 and r to restart the shell.

  • I encountered the problem beginning with v4. I installed it yesterday and then noticed the icon bleed over. I found that the height needed to be set to 16px for compatibility with gnome-shell themes that have very narrow top bars. Thank you for your work on this extension.

  • This might be better as a comment to l300lvl's answer, especially since you are giving a different pixel size than them. Feb 11, 2012 at 14:19
  • @Todd M: Thank you for reporting that. I will work this out eventually, but it would seem other extensions probably exhibit this behavior with themes like that as well, so you should use the report feature on E.G.O if you find any more errors. -Gratz.

I found the issue myself. The "conflict" is happening when another extension named "Show Desktop Button" is active. Once i deactivated it, the icon size corrected itself...Weird!
