[Help] - Tray Icon about gnome-shell-extension-mpris-indicator-button HOT 5 CLOSED

I did a quick search of the Numix repos and can't find an icon called spotify-client-symbolic and the Spotify .deb and snap do not ship their own symbolic icon. I actually created a symbolic icon for the flatpak so you can either use the flatpak, ask the numix folks to include a symbolic icon or ask Spotify to include it.

To answer your question directly. It looks for icons by name just like every other app.

from gnome-shell-extension-mpris-indicator-button.

I manually placed those icons with that name in my installed theme (copying and renaming the current ones), but the extension doesn't load them. I also updated the icons cache and restarted gnome shell, but it's not working neither. That's why I was asking if you would know how to solve it.

Custom icons should not be placed in the system-wide icon theme as they can be overwritten on update.

If you want to add your own spotify-client-symbolic icon for a native package you should put it in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps/ (that folder may not exist and you may have to create it.)

For the snap I'm not sure how the namespacing works so you'll need to figure that out for yourself. All of this is really out of scope of the extension and is an upstream issue so you're on your own.

File a bug upstream.
