Title:
appindicator doesn't honor the color key in -symbolic icons
Status in libappindicator:
New
Status in libappindicator package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm creating an app that uses libappindicator to add an status icon to
the bar. I want to ensure that the icon remain visible no matter what
background color is being used in the upper bar, so I followed the
"-symbolic" standard from freedesktop. It specifies that icons whose
name ends with "-symbolic" will have fills with #BEBEBE color replaced
by the current FG-COLOR, allowing them to be visible both with dark
and light backgrounds.
I did it and it worked fine under Gnome-Shell, but not with unity (I
tested both my current 12.04 system and a 12.10 in a virtual machine).
I made several tests, both with my own icons and other system icons
which are "-symbolic", but no results.
Several notes about symbolic icons:
