Details

Description:
I'm using Openbox window manager, with Tint2 panel. I have Volumeicon start from the Autostart configuration. It doesn't show the correct icon in tint2 panel. Instead of a speaker type icon, it's showing a generic square shape icon.

I was informed on IRC, Openbox channel the below conversation:

"<Narrat> Then it seems to be a problem with the volumeicon package
<Narrat> the icon is missing since the last build
<Narrat> where they switched to a specific build
<Narrat> err git commit. And with the package before there was an icon"

Additional info:
Typing 'pacman -Qi volumeicon', I left out titles that didn't include any information.

Thanks for reporting. You can change the icon theme in the volumeicon preferences. Does this solve the problem for you?
Comment by saptech (saptech) - Monday, 23 June 2014, 00:05 GMT
Yes, changing the icon in Preferences does work. Sorry I didn't think about checking Pref. I guess it uses the Default icon option which show the generic square icon, after installing Volumeicon.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

This commit seems to be the problem:
https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon/commit/a2a12efcf8c263e5615155ef2d47bb2aff796f88

At least the Gnome icon theme as shipped by Arch doesn't have the "-panel" icon variants. It would be nice to be able to use the regular icons (from the system theme) as before. There isn't such an option in the preferences.

Please report the issue upstream here https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon/issues so we can hear what they have to say about the issue. Thanks.

"Maato" seems to be unavailable... but this patch should fix it. If you don't have panel icons in the current theme, it uses the plain named ones instead.

I've added it to the pull request on GitHub along with the 100% cpu usage fix ( see  FS#40966  )

Thanks, I'll apply the patch. Would you mind forking volumeicon and also apply the patch from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40966, so that the fork could be used instead of the original volumeicon sources?
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Saturday, 28 June 2014, 09:18 GMT
Or perhaps the nkoep fork would work, if issues were reported there? https://github.com/nkoep/volumeicon
Comment by Steven Honeyman (stevenhoneyman) - Saturday, 28 June 2014, 09:21 GMT
Sure, no problem. I'll fork the latest and apply just the two fixes I submitted.

nkoep has been developing some new features / code changes (updating to newer Gtk components etc) so his fork may become unstable?

Oh, I already did :P https://github.com/stevenhoneyman/volumeicon
I never got around to deleting it!
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Thursday, 03 July 2014, 23:25 GMT
Great, thanks. I'll update the package to use the stevenhoneyman/volumeicon repo instead.
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Thursday, 03 July 2014, 23:39 GMT
Updated the package to use the stevenhoneyman/volumeicon repo. The updated package will appear in [community] shortly. Please re-open this bug if there are still problems with this.
