Hi, I've migrated my desktop from Gnome to Xfce for several reasons some days ago. But currently I've got an optical problem: The fedora-icon-theme and the echo-icon-theme seem to not provide an icon for the bluetooth- and pulseaudio-applet and the black default icon from the gnome-icon-theme looks absolutely ugly on Xfce. Am I the only one with this problem?
No you are not, I already complained about this in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678696 but there is no way to change it because the icon names are hardcoded to *-symbolic. IHMO this is fundamentally wrong as it only works with a single icon theme (gnome-icon-theme-symbolic) and does not conform to the xdg icon naming spec.
IHMO the right approach is 1. Have have gnome-icon-theme-symbolic use the normal names according to xdg icon naming standards 2. Have gnome-icon-theme-symbolic include gnome-icon-theme (done), so it prefers symbolic icons if available and falls back to the colored icons if symbolic icons are not available.
