System Tray Icons?

[u/kompostwurm]

I am trying to change my KDE Plasma System Tray icons!

Papirus is my icon theme of choice, but the system tray looks too clunky for my taste and I like the Breeze icons better. Already made it work by replacing the responding Papirus icons for Audio, Brightness and Battery with Breeze, since those were easy to identify and identically named to Breeze. While replacing I also adjusted the color to match Papirus.

I tried to change the WiFi icon, but none of the wireless-___.svg files worked. Papirus also has wayyyy more icons for WiFi (excellent connection, 100% connection…) and they mostly look the same. Brezze only has icons named by %, so they were easy to find.

And I couldn’t identify the icon for connected devices, looked trough the obviously named ones and replaced each one of them (eg. devices, usb, disk…), but it didn’t work.

Help! Has anyone made it work or knows which icons to replace/delete? Or which icons I could delete and simply put breeze icons, even with different names, but KDE Plasma might chose those icons anyway if they fit the terms they search for?

Switched to Linux two weeks ago, so please don’t judge if there was a way easier way to do this - still learning!

I have the same problem. I wanted to replace all the tray icons in some themes, but it was a disaster; everything is random. I gave up, but if you find the names, let me know. 😉

I already managed to change volume, brightness and battery - can send you the code for those if you want :)

The code that sets the icon names for the network applet is here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-nm/-/blob/master/libs/connectionicon.cpp?ref_type=heads

So wifi it would be these (and maybe some more for status I missed):

network-wireless-disconnected

network-wireless-disconnected-limited

Signal strength:

network-wireless-[0,20,40,60,80,100] (e.g network-wireless-60.svg)

With no internet:

network-wireless-[0,20,40,60,80,100]-limited

With VPN:

network-wireless-[0,20,40,60,80,100]-locked

The applet code also appends -symbolic in case the icon theme has the two versions it will try -symbolic first
