Custom tray icons

[nixi-awoo]

The tray icon (in the notification area) can not be changed by an icon theme. Steam has it's own .png file which is used as the tray icon (_~/.steam/steam/public/steam_traymono.png). When I try to chnge this file, it gets overwriten back to default after launching Steam. My other applications use .svg files provided by my icon theme ():

When I managed to create a custom _steam_traymono.png file in my theme's folder, the icon was used by Steam, but it was zoomed and cut:

This is the custom icon i used (which has the correct size of 48px, same as the default icon):

I think it would be great if Steam stopped using it's own .png file and instead used a proper .svg format modifiable by a custom icon theme.

I am using XFCE4 without any compositor on _x8664 Linux 4.0.5-1-ARCH.

Custom steam_tray_mono.png already works

@nixi-awoo Thanks for your hints. I use GIMP modify my custom steam_tray_mono.png size to 16x16 (my tray icon size), it looks good. lol

Valve lets us change the icon even if it's manually.

• No need to detect light or dark theme;
• Within the launcher there is a menu to change icons that are in a certain folder or even copy and replace the default;

See what's easier just to make contingencies!
