Description

The 'user' icon that sites next to the username or login link in Vector skin is a low-resolution raster image, and appears visibly pixelated on a high-resolution display such as the third-gen iPad with Retina display or when zooming in.

Recommend replacing with a SVG, with PNG fallback.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

There is a problem: some browser doesn't support two backgrounds (the fallback).

Maybe we can get rid of the icon altogether...

You could file that as a different bug, and link this one to it, but it's not exactly what the bug was about and doesn't solve the problem that will continue for other icons in the UI.

See gerrit review #3687

Removing assignee, as the patch was abandoned and nothing else happened.
