[Feature Request] monochrome / symbolic system tray icons #341

Lifetime licensed user here, love this project! It has helped me stay free of Windows even when I'm on my remote-office / work-from-home days.

I have a request that is purely aesthetic in nature, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a monochrome / symbolic system tray icon option in the app? As you can see below, GlobalProtect-openconnect is the only app in my tray that has color. Was hoping for a monochrome systray option for those of us that like the minimalist look.

Hi @PilotBob42, I would like to improve this. Which theme are you using? So that I can test it.

PilotBob42 commented 7 months ago

What you're looking at in the partial screen shot there is Mint-L-Dark (the "L" is for legacy), but that theme is specific to Linux Mint. If you want to be distro independent then I'd model a symbolic icon around the ePapirus theme. Here is my same system tray under that theme. As you can see, under that theme I have another tray icon "unthemed" though.

I will investigate and make the tray icon themable.

In 2.1.3, I added an option to use the symbolic tray icon. I'm not good at icon making, the default symbolic icon is a grayscale of the colorful icon. But the tray icon is now themeable by installing an icon named gpgui-connected-symbolic.png.
