xfce4-power-manager & change icon in Xfce4 panel

Hello!

I'm trying to change the appearance for the latest xfce4-power-manager (v1.4.1-2). I use elementary Xfce icons. The former xfce4-power-manager was using the correct (simple black & white) elementary icon in the notification area in the Xfce4 panel. With the latest version, where xfce4-power-manager has to be added manually to the panel, it is using some kind of colourful icon.

Is there some way to tell the program to use the elementary icons instead? I've already tried to edit /usr/share/applications/xfce4-power-manager-settings.desktop. But no dice.

Thanks in advance.

Do you know the location of both, the simple black & white icon and the colourful one?

If you do, you can try the following. Backup the original colourful one and paste a copy of the one you want to use in the same location and with the same name.

Afterwards check if the result is the one you want.

I have myself come across the situation of wanting to change an icon through the .desktop file but in the end it seems that some icons, even in this case maybe?, are hardcoded and can't be changed through a .desktop file.
More than willing for someone to proof me wrong though!
