KeepassXC uses the application icon for the tray with Numix icon theme

[sojusnik]

Expected Behavior

Even if the Numix icon theme is installed, the tray icon should use the specific icons, not the application one, as described here.

Current Behavior

If the Numix icon theme is used under Ubuntu 17.10, then the Keepassxc tray icon always looks like the app icon, as described here.

What is meant by specific icons?

[sojusnik]

By "specific icons" I mean those icons that are specifically designed for the system tray, as shown here.

[TheZ3ro]

Ok so if I understand this correctly the problem is that KeePassXC uses the same name for the app icon and for the icon in the tray. (like stated in bilelmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray#173 (comment) and "upstream" bug report for KeePassX https://dev.keepassx.org/issues/527)

Am I right?

[sojusnik]

@TheZ3ro You seem to be right.

[TheZ3ro]

@sojusnik Ok seems doable

[Veazer]

@TheZ3ro I've done some icon creation and I would be willing to create them. Unfortunately I have zero experience with git, but I can hand them off to someone else or whatever you suggest.

[Stunkymonkey]

since it got removed from last release: are there any plans to fix this?

[droidmonkey]

We are no longer allowing themes to change our icons, so yes the next release standardizes behavior across all platforms.

[Stunkymonkey]

so this means icon-themes (e.g. numix) will not be able to change the icon right?

[droidmonkey]

That is correct.

[mrmeszaros]

@droidmonkey could You please give a reasoning why icon theming will be dropped?
Just to clarify for me and those to come in the future.

[droidmonkey]

Standardizes the look and feel of our application across platforms.
