When I send a notification with notify-send -i /path/to/my/icon.png "title" "message" , it appears wonderfully in Gnome 47.4. However, the icon is very tiny. According to the screenshots I saw, the icon can be very large. It is also obviously displayed in addition to the app icon. Is there a way to send such an icon in the message or another way to create desktop notifications?

    How big is your icon in pixels? Maybe it can’t scale up small images, it only scales down big ones. Scale it up manually in an editing software.

      256x256px. In my eyes, this should be ok.

        I can’t reproduce your issue. I just sent a 256x256px white png, and it looks like this:

          Strange. I’m on Gnome 47.4. Is this XFCE in your screenshot?

          And how could you add a image here? I have tried, but couldn’t find a button to do so.

              Hmm this is close enough to mine… Manjaro…

              have Arch in parallel boot, but I’m not happy how it works with Steam Games. This is at least for me, a lot better with Manjaro. But anyway, I will compare with Arch settings next time im on it. Tomorrow I have to go to Bangkok for some weeks and can’t use my private laptop for this time.
