blueberry icon invisible in black toolbar #106

Since you last changed the icons to symbolic two days ago we do not see the blueberry-tray icon anymore. blueberry

Reading your code I found that in Dconf I can set the use symbolic icons to false. That solves our issue and we see again a white icon on a dark background.

dconf

Would it be possible to add a third slider on the settings in blueberry to set the use of the symbolic icons to true or false?

This would improve the access to this option for the general public.

I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, given that the cinnamon applet was removed. Thanks for the workaround!

elshize commented 4 years ago

Was experiencing the same problem, and the workaround worked, so many thanks @arcolinuxz

They do not change color. That is the issue we are having now. A slider extra is just fine. Whether the standard setting is default is up to you. We will change it manually if needed. As long as users do not need to go inside dconf-editor it is a step forward.

Please don’t set it to false. Symbolic icons are the way forward because they automatically change color depending on the gtk theme settings.

It is a workaround. We should find the solution that still uses symbolic icons and then voila.

We can talk all we want. I would like to hear the input of @clefebvre.

Which DE are you using? If symbolic icons are not supported by the panel then the recoloring will not work. For Xfce that feature has been added to git master and will be available for the upcoming 4.16 release. This was possible because of a patch pushed by @clefebvre. I think Mate already has that feature as well.

I use cinnamon 4.6.3, Adara-Dark theme on the taskbar, Plata Dark on the UI elements (buttons, e.t.c.)

clefebvre commented 4 years ago

@arcolinuxz we can add the option to the preferences but I'm curious why you don't get the symbolic icon working in Cinnamon? Do you have the XappStatusIcon tray applet loaded?

ghost commented 4 years ago

No. I loaded it and now it seems to work with symbolic icons enabled. What's XappStatusIcon? Is it a cinnamon-only thing?

arcolinuxz commented 4 years ago

The more choices, the more freedom you give to the users. Would appreciate the extra option.

I had the same issue with blueberry in polybar tray. I was not able to see the icon. I played around with the .desktop file and changed the Icon= option. But it didn't work until I saw this Issue. Changing it with dconf worked.

I do agree with @arcolinuxz that adding an extra option like a checkbox to enable and disable symbolic icons will be nice. An example would be Variety (the wallpaper software), which has options for the tray icon, dark, light and other options.

carpii commented 2 years ago

In my case I had to use dconf to disable the symbolic icon option (which seems to default to true)

At this point blueberry starts displaying a systray icon on dark background

This is using awesomewm's wibar tray with xfce desktop
