There are some subtle uses of color in the indicator icons: * messaging turns blue (and even had full colored icons briefly last cycle) * power cog (indicator-sesision) turns red when there's a problem in online accounts * sound turns dark when muted
Right now, this is handled by different icon names for the diffeterent states. For example, indicator-messages-new is a blue version of indicator-messages. I don't know if that can be easily replicated with symbolic icons. At the simplest, we'd need a way to specify the white color (maybe indirectly through widget state or so) when giving GtkImage an icon name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-mono in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903819 Title: use symbolic icons Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Application Indicators: Invalid Status in The Messaging Menu: Confirmed Status in Network Menu: Confirmed Status in The Session Menu: Confirmed Status in Sound Menu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-mono” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Indicators should use symbolic icons. That has various benefits, counting the two more important: 1. Only need to supply one theme between Ambiance/Radiance whatever. 2. It's way easier to deal with situations like when the unity dash is opened, and icons should turn white: you just need to set the white color and it'll be recolored. This may depend on bug 599448.
