Icon request: Viber #399

Open svenkeeter opened 8 years ago

svenkeeter commented 8 years ago

Viber status icon seems to be missing in elementaryPlus. When I open Viber, I see this in the wingpanel: viber status icon

elementary+ should include support for the Viber status indicator #188. Apparently this is a bug with many apps, you have to edit the desktop file /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop (or similar) and add a reference to Unity so the exec line looks like this: 

Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /opt/viber/Viber

Taken from this reddit comment. To avoid that changes get overwritten by updates you could also copy the edited desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/.

The file should look somewhat like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Viber
Comment=Viber VoIP and messenger
Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /opt/viber/Viber
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/viber.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Network;Application;
Path=

Please report back if this works for you :smile:

Thank you for the reply. It worked and I have the viber icon now but its not the white icon that elementaryPlus has: screenshot from 2016-08-18 15 18 45

I'm having the same problem as @svenkeeter with the status icons for Viber. Could it be something changed in the new version of Viber? I'm unable to find where the default status icons are.

Tried manually changing /usr/share/viber/icons (the 24x24.png specifically, replacing it with a PNG version of the elementaryPlus viber status), along with the assets in /opt/viber/icons.
