In The Messaging Menu, a black-and-white icon should be used for the Microblogging section

[Lightbreeze]

Binary package hint: gwibber

from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Application%20sections:

For the Microblogging section, it should be labelled “Microblogging” and use a black-and-white generic microblogging icon if Gwibber is registered, or “Set Up Microblogging…” if Gwibber is not registered.

The current icon in Lucid is coloured.

Plus, the use of the term "Microblogging" in the messaging menu and of "Broadcast" in the me-menu is inconsistent... The latter seems perhaps more applicable.

@pablomme, please open a separate bug report for that.

Sorry, done: bug #534952

[Mike Basinger (mike.basinger)]

Here is my stab at mono-chroming the icon.

[pablomme (pablomme)]

The original icon looks a bit Gnome 1.x. I think it might be the black border that makes it look odd.

Isn't there any other icon for this? E.g., a three-people icon (like the icon for "Chat", smaller and repeated forming a triangle), or something more suggestive of microblogging.

This seems like a duplicate of Bug #537313, which is marked as "fix committed".
