how do i change sys tray icons like qui-updates? i tried to search and found only /usr/share/icons/ and /usr/share/gnome-packagekit/icons paths
i use 4.1 qubes with kde and tried many ways to change the icons but no results
It seems to me that this topic may have useful examples:
no i tried this and tried instead of 22 folder others folders it didnt work. there is a pk-updates-low.svg i think in gnome-packagekit and i tried to give same name in my theme folder like /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/mytheme/icons/… but no luck
this is very very ugly looking and some icons are completly white
Possibly related: I asked (in another thread) how to put something in the system tray even if it was in a VM, and discovered that that is not Qubes specific, but rather just a matter of using a certain widget type in X. I found out that Gtk has a wrapper class for that (Gtk on *nix is essentially a wrapper for X motif things), and used that. All I get is a white icon much like the networking one. I’ve tried every kind of file format. White box. Not terribly useful especially if I have multiple VMs trying to put an icon there.
nothing work… i tried to install from file in system settings too… this icons don’t change. developers??
If you want to change the update icon, this is what you do in XFCE, it’s probably similar in KDE.
In dom0, you install the icons in ~/.icons, and then you open System Settings > Appearance and from the icons tab you select the icon theme you installed.
After you changed the icons, reboot the computer.
i tried it now and not working not even install icons in system settings. i did similar with ~/.local/share/icons and this install icons in system settings but not working on this system icons
Hasn’t anyone solved this problem? I would also like to change these white squares. I couldn’t find a solution
In one place (networking) I see NOTHING BUT a white square. So you’re better off than you realize.
If you use svg icons, you can add a background color and it will fix the white background.

Hello! I am using a regular adwaita. I don’t know where to download svg icons. Please could you share your icons or tell me where to download it? All my icons are in standard sets - png. I cannot find sets of svg icons in search engines
Has no one at all been able to solve this problem? it looks disgusting in kde plasma. it doesn’t look pretty in xfce. i’ve tried all options… devs never used a dark theme? Help! I will pay!
xfce-dusk theme in Fedora 42 templates causes the squares to become dark, which is tolerable. However, theme is poorly designed and breaks the interface. This may be acceptable if you never launch apps in sys-net and sys-vpn. But this theme does not work in sys-whonix
Not everything can be bought, you know! lol
