Action icons

[mare1203]

When panel row size is set to 26, restart action icon is monochromatic. When I set row size to 36 all action icons are in color. I use xfce elementary darker mode.


Also, i found in Transmission play and pause icons are monochromatics, while remove icon is red... I don't know about you guys, but my opinion is that for consistency all these icons should be colorful...

One more thing, I think this icon looks outdated and needs a redesign.

@mare1203 Thanks for reporting.

See how things look with this branch if you have some time. The only difference between dark and darker variants are the monochromatic action icons (and 16px panel network icons). That branch simple removes/deprecates darker.

It really should just have the same effect as switching to elementary Xfce dark (minus the wifi icon) so at the very least try that variant and see if it fixed the issues for you.

As for the Session and Startup icon, I think it should be updated but I think you should open a separate issue for that.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply...
I'm using light gtk themes, currently mint y aqua, so I can't really use the dark version of the icon theme... I've checked this branch for a few minutes using elementary xfce that should match the gtk theme... I haven't reset the system so maybe some things not properly shown, but here are a few things that caught my eye:

I noticed new icons for libreoffice apps, main icon for startcenter looks kind of strange, I'm used to an empty, white icon without these 6 fields... It seems that this type of icon will remain in the new official icons as well... In my opinion, the impress icon should retain something that is associated with the list as well, not only the graph, but this one certainly looks better than the current one...

@mare1203 Thanks for the notes and picture!

I made a PR here that will hopefully remove the monochromatic icons from the toolbar, and the action/session icons in the panel. It should also address the wifi icon, although I think what you're seeing there with the darker color is a result of bug in the System Tray Plugin (which was discussed here, and possibly fixed upstream [though unfortunately not updated in the repositories just yet]).

The volume icon may be a concern. I didn't experience what you did with the PR I submitted, but if so we'll need to take care of that.

But hopefully this will end up resolving the issues. If you're able to test it, or eventually use it after the PR is merged, and still have problems please definitely open new issues. Thanks!
