Hardcoded tray icons

Papirus icon theme now supports Hardcode-Tray script

NOTE: To get Papirus to work right with Hardcode-Tray, use the hardcode-tray option --conversion-tool Inkscape:

hardcode-tray --conversion-tool Inkscape

or:

hardcode-tray -ct Inkscape

KDE color scheme

Support for monochrome icons for KDE color scheme is now available:

• Papirus - for dark plasma theme & light color scheme
• Papirus Dark - for dark plasma theme & color scheme
• Papirus Light - for light plasma theme & color scheme

NOTE: Non-KDE apps not support KDE color scheme on tray, but you can replace color by manually.

What used colors for monochrome icons on KDE?

Papirus:

• actions, devices, places - class Text color:#5c616c and class Highlight color:#5294e2
• panel - class Button Background color:#d3dae3 and class Highlight color:#5294e2

Papirus-Dark:

• actions, devices, places an panel - class Text color:#d3dae3 and class Highlight color:#5294e2

Papirus-Light:

• actions, devices, places an panel - class Text color:#5c616c and class Highlight color:#5294e2

Recommendations

• For GTK, better use icons alongside GTK theme Arc Dark
• For KDE, better use alongside Arc KDE

Manual fixes

For Cinnamon users with Arc Dark, use another color for tray icons for an optimal experience:

sudo sed -i.orig 's/white/#d3dae3/g' /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/cinnamon/cinnamon.css

Also increase panel size with text option because Papirus is only available for tray apps with sizes of 22px & 24px.

For Ubuntu users, we recommend using patched Notify-OSD with an icon size of 33px.

~/.notify-osd example:

slot-allocation = dynamic
bubble-expire-timeout = 10sec
bubble-vertical-gap = 10px
bubble-horizontal-gap = 10px
bubble-corner-radius = 24px
bubble-icon-size = 33px
bubble-gauge-size = 6px
bubble-width = 240px
bubble-background-color = 2f343f
bubble-background-opacity = 95%
text-margin-size = 10px
text-title-size = 100%
text-title-weight = bold
text-title-color = adb7bf
text-title-opacity = 100%
text-body-size = 90%
text-body-weight = normal
text-body-color = eaeaea
text-body-opacity = 100%
text-shadow-opacity = 50%
location = 1
bubble-prevent-fade = 1
bubble-close-on-click = 1
bubble-as-desktop-bg = 0

Also, you can change ubuntu logo of the main launcher and unity-tweak-tool icons. Check the extra folder in the icon theme.
