The status icons are not correct

[Cédric M. Campos]

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy 2.28.1.1 @ Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

The icon set to reflect the status is paired:
- Green circle - Available
- Yellow circle - Occupied
- Red triangle - Away
- Grey square - Disconnected/Invisible

How they should be paired:
- Green circle - Available
- Yellow circle - Away <---
- Red triangle - Occupied <---
- Grey square - Disconnected/Invisible

I think the red triangle reflects better the unavailability than the yellow circle, as the yellow circle (I would prefer orange like in gtalk) reflects better the awaivity than the red triangle.

Fix committed from Humanity side , the icons need to be corrected in empathy though.

[Vish (vish)]

Fix released in
humanity-icon-theme (0.5.1) lucid; urgency=low

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

I would recommend making the bubble "stems" squatter, making the bubble bodies more circular and flatter (use a more subtle gradient).

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

This bug is fixed in ubuntu now as empathy is using icons from Humanity-icon-theme..

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

sorry for the inconvinence its not fixed upstream.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this is fixed upstream and according to the upstream developers: "Merged to master. Will be in 2.31.1." , Marking this as fix committed.

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

This should be fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 now. Thanks for reporting.
