This last one shows on charging

Hmm, Unity must be using the battery-*-symbolic icons now. I'll look into it.

leoheck commented 9 years ago

Last update changed the icon but it is still almost the same.

snwh commented 9 years ago

Unity uses the symbolic version of the icon for some reason, even though it doesn't support colouring the icon.

snwh commented 9 years ago

The default colour of the symbolic icons is that grey you see.

But the size is bigger too.... can you, at least, revert to the first image of this thread?

@snwh Regarding this issue, and arguably also regarding https://github.com/moka-project/faba-mono-icons/issues/9, I would like to draw your attention to https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme/issues/107 over at Numix Project. The battery status icon is extensively discussed there, initially for eOS and Xubuntu, but along the way also e.g. for Ubuntu.

Warning: this is a rather long thread, containing numerous links to related battery status icon issues.

Now, this thread over at Numix Project is not transferable 1:1 to the Moka Project (no separate "mono" icon theme in Numix, differing details as to the battery icon names), but nevertheless, there might be some helpful information in there (e.g. with regard to when a specific Ubuntu version is using "-symbolic"-named icons primarily, which actually differs in detail from version to version).

Keep up your fantastic work with Moka Project, making the Linux desktop experience more beautiful one icon at a time :-)

I know what the issue is, it's a matter of the power indicator being the sole indicator to use *-symbolic icons –but not correctly.
