Ubuntu mono icons problem - symlinks missing

[Mohegan]

Some icons aren't good with the ambiance or radiance themes because some symlinks are missing (for sound applet and notifications). I use this lines to correct the ubuntu-mono-light and ubuntu-mono dark icons theme (change the theme and apply it again to show the differences) :

Thanks, I'll review your suggestionand see what can be merged into the ubuntu-themes.

[Christopher Patrick (cpatrick08)]

i tried the patch, & with all the default themes. the icons all look ok

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

I've added some of symlinks to the ubuntu-themes package and built a new version of the package in our PPA for testing. This doesn't address everything, mentioned above but is a step in the roght direction.

I won't be making the following change because it then display incorrect icons elswehre.

  actions/24/system-shutdown-panel.svg -> actions/24/system-shutdown.svg

What is the reason for these changes? I haven't include them at this stage.

  status/24/xfce4-mixer-record.svg status/24/audio-input-microphone-low.svg
  status/24/xfce4-mixer-no-record.svg status/24/audio-input-microphone-muted.svg

For the shutdown icon, with the patch, the shutdown applet looks great with the patch but sad without.

[Mohegan (jack-mohegan)]

For the original source, the patch is based from this post : http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?t=1815&p=5714

The icons "audio-input-microphone-low.svg" and "audio-input-microphone-muted.svg" are necessary if you use a sound record application. For example, open cheese and record a video. The microphone icon is opening. If the volume of microphone is low or muted, the icons are sad.

[Mohegan (jack-mohegan)]

It's not the better solution because it's is not like the sound icons (muted with a crosse, low with a bar, middel with two bars and high with three bars). For example, the menta icons theme looks great.

It is necessary to make others microphone icons. I will try to make other icons !

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

Mohegan, thanks for the feedback. I'll incorporate more of the adjustments based on your feedback :-)

[Mohegan (jack-mohegan)]

I modified the microphone icons for the ambiance theme. Extract the archive and copy the icons in /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/ and do this commands :
sudo rm /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/icon-theme.cache
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark

After that, change the theme (radiance or something else) and re-apply ambiance theme.

If it's ok, I will make the same icons for radiance theme (ubuntu mono light).

[Mohegan (jack-mohegan)]

Microphone icons for the radiance theme. Extract the archive and copy the icons in /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light/status/24/ and do this commands :
sudo rm /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light/icon-theme.cache
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light

After that, change the theme (ambiance or something else) and re-apply radiance theme.

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

@jack-mohegan - Thanks for the microphone icons. They will be integrated in the next package build :-)

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

Rather than continuing to maintain my own version of ubuntu-themes I submitted a merge request upstream.

  * https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/ubuntu-themes/mate-fixes/+merge/229649

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

I live in hope the someone in Canonical/Ubuntu will action my merge proposal. Failing that, I've integrated the required fixes into Ambiant-MATE and Radiant-MATE themes.
