how to create a kde panel system tray icon set?

ozeta · 2009-10-21 22:40:34

hi, i would like to perform a modification of oxygen style to obtain a system tray composed by icons only in grayscale or b/n tones.

i tried editing the klipper icon, by desaturating all klipper.png in the various oxygen directories, and it works fine.

but in this manner all the klipper's icons used by kde are in grayscale.

now, if i change kmix icons state, also amarok's and other icons would change?

is there any method to avoid this conflict?

bye

To do this without affecting the icons elsewhere in the system is probably impossible without editing the source code to the sys tray plasmoid/widget and adding in a color filter of some sort. If you don't know how to program this in, you're probably out of luck. Would be interested in someone else proving me wrong though.

the thing is, kde HAS options for coloring icons in different places. Problem is that KDE does not use those - at least i never managed to make it work. It only worked if i set the colors globally

hi, i can't program the system tray it would be nice if there were someone that made a patch or something else. however i decolorize some icons (kmix, klipper and kmess) in a first try and this is the (not bad) result:

i tried to use this tool: only Desktop Effects works, but it changes both desktop and panel icons....but not system tray icons!!!

I've actually done this a while back
Application icons at 24px almost never appear outside the systemtray so it works ok.

Try it if you want:

Oh, and it uses hydroxygen folders, hope you don't mind
