Icon Request: Symless Synergy

[mjcourte]

Hi there, could you look into making an icon/panel icon for Synergy?

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Synergy
Comment=Share your keyboard and mouse over a network
Exec=synergy
Icon=/usr/share/icons/synergy.ico
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;

Thanks

What you mean icon/panel? Program have tray icon?
PS: synergy icon already available. change on your desktop file:
Icon=synergy

[mjcourte]

I should have been more clear. I meant icon and panel icon (tray icon, indicator, etc). I made the change you recommended and it applied the theme to the main icon.

However, in Ubuntu 16.10 (Unity 7) my panel shows Synergy as its full colour icon:

I want add this icons on hardcode-tray database... BUT
You use hardcode tray? Can help me? I think ut's bug pathched sni-qt, because i'm not found icon on /tmp/sni-qt_synergy* - folder icons empty.

You have icons on /tmp/sni-qt_synergy*?

Similar bug with FlareGet: bilelmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray#399
@bil-elmoussaoui Bilal maybe it's sni-qt bug? Because synergy it's Qt4-app and use sni-qt, but not worked.

I have a directory:
/tmp/sni-qt_synergy_*/icons
the only contents of which are two icons in
/tmp/sni-qt_synergy_*/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/synergy_*.png

[varlesh]

Hm it's strange, because on Zesty this folder empty...

[varlesh]

@wa4557 You can help us?

[varlesh]

I'm test this on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04
synergy 1.8.8
patched sni-qt from PPA

[varlesh]

Sorry guys, it's gnomeshell bug. After install extension appindicator support and all fine.

@mjcourte you can post here icon names on /tmp/sni-qt_synergy_*/icons? And screenshot this icons.
I see only one:
synergy_2689_fb0c715d61dd307a2885bf5ec1a197bd.png

[mjcourte]

$ ls /tmp/sni-qt_synergy_3814-LI6E1t/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/
synergy_3814_28bf00a5115d5398379ed0827d52bf43.png  synergy_3814_fb0c715d61dd307a2885bf5ec1a197bd.png

(in order)

[varlesh]

thx @mjcourte . Will be add soon

[varlesh]

@mjcourte Icons added, whait when merge my PR for hardcode-tray. After this - update hardcode-tray from git and papirus from git (or PPA)

[ceiphr]

sni-qt is no longer supported in Ubuntu 19.10, are there any suggested workarounds to change the panel icon?

[SmartFinn]

@ceiphr seems no chance to fix it. Even -panel suffix that already applied doesn't work.

[ceiphr]

Understood @SmartFinn, I hope this can be resolved in the future.

[CaptainJawZ]

I'm fairly new with Linux and trying my best to learn, so sorry if I ask a silly question, so it isn't possible to add support for Synergy again because it uses QT5 and any program using that won't be compatible with hardcode-tray?

[varlesh]

Some Qt5-apps used icons from binary QRC resources, now it's impossible fixed with hardcode-tray
