Hi,

I also had some trouble with converting icons to SVG in the past. Have you tried using Inkscape?

I assume that you have already done this but anyway just to mention: once you have your svg added it to the symbian section of the pro file:

Yes, I used Inkscape, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with .pro file.

I did some further investigation, I could reproduce the issue only with some specific PNG images. Also, if I change the width and height of the embedded image to smaller than the overall svg element, it renders fine on Symbian.

So, I was able to solve the issue but it’s still unclear why it happened. I suspect there’s a bug in S60’s SVG rendering of an embedded image that occurs only in some rare circumstances…

By the way, Qt should provide a tool to be able to use the same icon image for all the platform. This is just so cumbersome that one has to provide a bitmap image for most platforms and a vector image for Symbian.

I am glad that you have solved the issue. But only because my curiosity I would like to ask on which version of Symbian have tried it? If you suspect a bug you can also try it on different devices and Symbian versions using Nokia Remote Device Access.

if you think there is a problem, file a bug in http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa
Use the label qt-base-symbian-rnd, it will appear in symbian team backlog. We will check it. Remember to provide the need svg file to reproduce the problem.

I also converted a PNG image to SVGTiny with image2svg app. When I run the app with Creator the icon is messed up but when I copied the .sis to phone and installed it there it seemed to work fine.
