I guess this counts as a 'bug'/oversight for the new Material Design on Windows 10. I hope it gets fixed soon because it's very visible to users, it's always right there on the screen!

Also, it may also be an issue on HiDPI Windows 8/8.1 machines but I am not able to check this, sorry

Tested this issue on Windows-10 HiDPI using chrome latest stable M55-55.0.2883.87 by following steps mentioned below.

1. Navigated to chrome://flags
2. Enabled material designed user manager
3. Observed there is some blurriness on avatar icon.

Since this issue is specific to material design adding appropriate label for further triage.

Thanks!

someone should also check this out on retina macs too (I don't know anyone with a retina mac, sorry)

I would imagine that on Windows the issue is that we don't have 2x versions of chrome/app/theme/default_100_percent/win/avatar_button/ .

However, rather than adding them, a better fix would probably be to programmatically draw this stuff.  Everything in that folder looks like it could be programmatically drawn.

Not MD-specific.  Tagging this with HarmonyControls even though it's technically not really Harmony either.

I have convinced myself that tracking this on the harmony list is the wrong thing to do :)

I know this isn't a high priority but any progress on this? it IS part of the main top chrome and visible pretty much at all times

If we haven't posted, there's no progress.

There is unlikely to be progress in the next several months unless an external contributor would like to try tackling this.

I think we're waiting on design feedback/assets/guidance though. I don't think it would take long and it is, imo, a high profile bit of polish, so we should be able to spare the eng time. Over to Alan.

We are?  What assets are we waiting on?

SVGs of the default avatar image or something?

that would be one. We could take an icon from the md archive but it wouldn't be optimized for display at 10px (or whatever small number it is). And then the button outline is the other. That might just take the form of a spec, i.e. a color (same as tab outline?) and a corner radius.

Bug 644004 is about the correct color for this button (should match caption buttons).

The outline doesn't need a designer spec -- should always match the caption buttons.

So if we need something, it's just a vector version of the icon within the button, I think.

are the frame controls already programmatic?

I guess on Linux the avatar button doesn't match the frame controls currently (must be matching Windows instead) but that may something we want to fix.

They are in some cases.

That said, I retract my claim about the outline "should match the caption buttons".  I suspect we don't, in fact, want that (at least size/shape-wise), as it'd look really weird in certain cases, and affect layout of the new tab button.

Instead I'm going to claim this bug is only about programmatic/vector-based drawing of something with equivalent behavior to the current button, so it looks good in high DPI; bug 644004 covers the color, bug 591586 the shape.  That still leaves us needing only vector icons, it just makes fewer false claims :)

I think this can be labeled as FIXED now but I'm just curious, is it looking as it was intended?
