Tray icons only show text

[chmanie]

Describe the bug With a minimal config, I'm not getting any icons for the tray. This works in waybar.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Open ironbar with the minimal config down below (probably not easily reproducible?) Please let me know what I can do to provide any more info about this.

I can provide the log though:

Looks like a NixOS problem, have you set you icon theme properly?

[chmanie]

I have set an icon theme and it is being picked up by other tools (like waybar). Where would ironbar look for it, maybe the path is a different one?

[chmanie]

Ok, I think it's a problem on my end. Closing this. I might report what and where icons need to go :)

[chmanie]

Actually, I have to reopen this. It might have something to do with librsvg but I'm not sure exactly. I fixed this on my end and I have icons in all bars now. Except for ironbar.

Here's what I found: I compiled the gtk-tray example and that works beautifully:

As ironbar depends on it, there's something weird going on, but I can't yet tell where exactly.

I also tried to build ironbar from scratch again (current master) but the result is the same as above

[ICE-GB]

Me too, using NixOS, any progress?

You can see the progress by looking at the linked PR. Sadly I have been quite busy these days, maybe I can give it another go this weekend.

[daktras420]

Thank you that would be awsome. I noticed rust has a libnotify crate that you could look at implementing hopefully the info and stuff i am doing helps you and others. I may not be t be a programmer but i can trouble shoot and therize therize possible solutions. Thanks for all your doing.

I'm afraid this bug is still happening on the current master. Specifically for udiskie and nm-applet.

Also on NixOS with Hyprland.

Have you defined an icon theme in home-manager?

[calops]

Have you defined an icon theme in home-manager?

I have:

    gtk = {
      enable = true;
      iconTheme = {
        name = "Papirus";
        package = pkgs.papirus-icon-theme;
      };
    };

Is there another/better way to define it? It's working in other gtk programs.

I thought I fixed this bug by wrapping with gtk wrapper, but ig that didn't fix it. Maybe try looking at the ironbar flake?

[chmanie]

So what I can say is that when starting ironbar in a nix-shell (or nix develop) it somehow doesn't have access to the system icon theme. Don't ask me why but I'm seeing the same. When installing it globally using the flake it does work for me though.

The gtk wrapper should still be working in those scenarios, right?

[calops]

I can't seem to find a single way to run ironbar with these icons working.

I've tried:

• The official nixpkgs (unstable) package
• nix run the flake in this repo
• cargo run directly in the repo, both in debug and release mode
• installing the flake globally in my home-manager config

Is there anything else I can try?
