Here is what I did to fix it. I only use VPN on the wired connection. I guess a similar approach will work for secure/VPN over wireless.
cd /usr/share/icons # Make a copy of the existing icon theme # "pvm" is me. Invent whatever name you like here sudo cp -a elementary-xfce-dark pvm cd pvm # in index.theme, change the "Name=" field to something descriptive for you, # e.g. "elementary Xubuntu dark - with nm-device-wired-secure" sudo vi index.theme sudo cp ../Humanity-Dark/status/22/nm-device-wired-secure.svg panel/22/ # Optional step # If you don't like the looks of panel/22/nm-device-wired-secure.svg, edit it. # I made it lighter to fit the rest of the theme. sudo chmod a+w panel/22/nm-device-wired-secure.svg inkscape panel/22/nm-device-wired-secure.svg sudo gtk-update-icon-cache . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772709 Title: Network Manager Icon Is not changin when VPN is connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elementary-icon-theme/+bug/772709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
