It looks fine to me on gnome-control-center-42.0-4.fc36.x86_64

Can you try updating to the latest and check again? The other possibility is that it may be related to the resolution (hidpi?). I see that your image is 2553x1390, which is not a common desktop resolution.

no blurry for me at RC1.4

Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.4.iso seems good to me here

Comment 5 Stephen Gallagher 2022-05-04 18:39:12 UTC 
Okay, I see it now. If you expand the settings window vertically, the logo enlarges in physical size but not in image resolution.

I requested that revert because I tested the change on F35 and found it caused gnome-control-center to display the logo at a huge size. It was obviously broken.

I didn't test F36 or rawhide, though. These are different because they use GTK 4 instead of GTK 3, with different underlying widgets to display the image. Perhaps it's totally fine. Just needs to be tested.

It's probably only blurry on hidpi, which is likely why I didn't notice.

Ah... I see.

The one missing thing here - an upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1815
Comment 12 Geraldo Simião 2022-05-06 12:06:35 UTC 
Then why it doesn't happen when I tested rc 1.5? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1877196
Resolution related?

Yes, looks to me like you don't have enough vertical resolution to pull it down far enough to notice the transition.

Any news on that issue? Just updated to F37 and this behaviour still exists.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
Comment 18 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 16:41:37 UTC 
Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.
