Most of this issue is due to how Mumble handles toolbar icons (at least by default). Resources for toolbar icon and main window are shared, and when given the choice to fix the toolbar by changing the main window visuals I opted to disregard toolbar icon issues. I still do.
An existing option in the Mumble UI options is "Show talking status in the tray icon", which is on by default. Personally I turn off this feature to have the real Mumble icon show there (but it still changes if you are muted/deafened), but this doesn't show if you are talking or not. It is still very similar to what you want.
I propose a few options, which will need to be taken care of in mumble main:
Thoughts?
I like 1, but I admit that 2 might work, I just can't visualize it in my head. It would be something I'd need to see to comment on.
I can't comment on 3 and I don't think 4 is a good idea.
I made a quick mockup for both options -
1 -
2 -
Option 3 would probably have even slightly changed background hue for each state - giving an even better indication or better contrast.
Note that the windows color scheme is user-selectable which can lead to things like this:
Another take for option 2 with better contrast:
Use the dark one for the Dark variant, and the light one for the Lite variant?
Like option 2. It requires a change in Mumble, correct?
I don't think they should be different according to variant - svg resources are shared and also we should just pick the better looking one. These aren't final versions but just mock ups, but the dark version has way better contrast at that size. And yeah, it would require change in Mumble.
Is this still an issue? In my taskbar icon I can see the talking state by "sound wave" indicators next to the person icon when transmission is active. So I guess this has been resolved?
I wouldn't know as we don't use Mumble anymore. From what you've described it sounds like it hasn't changed at all and thus is still an issue. The solution posted by @xPoke in picture 2 would have been the best solution.
