Volume applet shows incorrect theme icon

Asked by cbf305

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. During the latest update the AWN Volume Control applet is showing a really ugly icon. It's a very dark speaker with blue volume lines. It only is goofed up when I use the ubuntu-mono-dark or ubuntu-mono-light icon themes. If I switch to the other ones it shows that icon theme's correct volume control icon. It's been a couple weeks since my last update so this one was almost 300 updates. It was fine before the update, but after the reboot it was goofed up. I have the applet set to use the system theme. I have a screenshot of the bad icon if there is a place I can email it to.

I understand that 10.04 isn't released yet, but I just wanted to pass this on.

You can upload images to imageshack.us. Is it something like this http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8416/volumeuglylowresicon.png ? A low-res icon? Volume Control just uses the Awn themed icons API.

moonbeam, do you have any idea what's going on?

Possibly an issue with the icon theme, possibly a change in the icon naming (there's a fair amount of renaming of icons going on in Gnome atm_, possibly an issue with the gtk icon theme handling in AwnThemedIcon. My guess is number 2. If someone has a link to the icon theme (I am not using Debian) then please provide it.

Meant to say I _am_ using Debian (so I don't like to install from Ubuntu repos).

It's similar to that icon.

Here is what I have now. This is true for both of my machines:

Here is what it used to/should look like, just larger:

I would be happy to try renaming, moving, etc...icons to test things if you need.

Thanks!

The two new Ubuntu themes have removed the scalable folder from the themes. So AWN is just picking up some default icons, that I have yet to find. So I created a theme folder in /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/volume-control/themes called Light. I created a scalable folder and put in the 5 icons (audio-volume-high-panel.svg ... audio-volume-muted-panel.svg). Since there are only 4 scaled options plus muted, I just made several copies of each icon and renamed them to match the scheme in the Black and Minimal theme folders. The I edited the index.theme file and just changed the name to Light since I am using the Ubuntu-Mono-Dark theme and they are light icons. I restarted AWN and voila, I had a new theme available in the properties. It also behaves as expected when I change the volume and mute. You can download my theme from here:

While this is not a fix, it does get me by for now. Maybe you can work with the Ubuntu theme devs on a solution?

Can you help with this problem?
