Hi again, Daniel: Well, I learned a lot (like that is mandatory to call gtk-update-icon-cache after installing new icons if you want to ensure that they are fully recognized), but I've been unable to make the symbolic icons work.
I created a symbolic-like version of my icons, and after a lot of work (the gtk-update-icon-cache problem) I was able to make them work, but the color was the color key instead of the fg-color from GTK. I tried then to use a true symbolic icon (icon audio-volume-high-symbolic) to try to discard errors in my icon, and found that it was also being incorrectly rendered: the color key wasn't being replaced by fg-color. I'm using libappindicator, and to set the icon I use the call "set_icon_full", specifying the icon name as-is, including the "-symbolic" at the end. I don't know what I'm doing incorrectly :?
