Description

None of the icons used in the systray looks like something from windows (ignoring the size, see Bug #7316), and many of them contrast sharply against the blue theme.

The systray icons should be changed to ones from Windows that makes sense, either esthetically (e.g. Florence could have the keyboard icon which I think correspond to keyboard layout settings, not an on screen keyboard) or functionally (e.g. nm-applet could have Windows’ networking applet’s icon).

There seems not to be a concept of systrey icon theme. Systray icons are provided by applications.

Here are some of them:

- gpgApplet: /usr/share/pixmaps/gpgApplet/scalable/gpgApplet-*.svg

- florence: /usr/share/pixmaps/florence.png

- volume: theme:audio-volume-*-symbolic
- notifications: theme:mail-message-new (this one might be problematic as it’s also used in other applications and places)

pidgin: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/. It looks like these icons should be changeable in ~/.local/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/ when seeing strace output, but that doesn’t work.

gpgApplet, florence, volume and notifications tray icons should be fixed in tails:bugfix/7326-systray-icons and gnome-theme-windows8:bugfix/7326-systray-icons. These changes should now be tested. Note that one should currently execute /usr/local/sbin/tails-win8-theme-adapt-icons as root manually.

Test results:

- gpgApplet icon is wrong at startup. It seems to use the 48x48 icon at startup and the scalable version when the clipboard content is updated;

- volume icon is not updated unless the volume is changed. It seems that we should either change the volume or set the icon theme before the session starts;
- network-manager, notifications and florence icons are correct.

These issues should now be fixed.
