Use icons from the symbolic namespace

[Danielle Foré]

the bluetooth indicator should use panel icons from the symbolic namespace. This would provide greater upstream theme compatability as well as reduce the need for additional gtk-theme-based icon themes to handle light/dark theme changes. The icon names in question are as follows:

bluetooth-active-symbolic
bluetooth-disabled-symbolic

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report, is upstream using those?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Those are the icon names from the GNOME icon theme. I would assume that if GNOME Shell shows Bluetooth in the panel those are the icons they would use, but I'm not entirely sure.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

It looks like there is an upstream report marking this as fixed. Could just be a packaging issue?

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

./applet/notify.c:#define ACTIVE_ICON_NAME "bluetooth-active"
both upstream and in Ubuntu

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

I can't just go and flip over those icon names because the package also ships fallback icons for hicolor icon theme which are not symbolic. Those fallback icons have to be changed too. And this patch is so deeply upstream that I'm afraid we'll end up patching it in elementary OS only, at least this cycle.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Wait. According to the code, it already uses symbolic icons, both in Ubuntu and upstream. Incomplete again, until proven to not work.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Maybe we don't have symbolic icon in elementary OS because there's no bluetooth-disabled-symbolic icon in elementary theme?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

There are both of these icons present in elementary. Check the status/symbolic folder.

As far as I can tell, the indicator will use "bluetooth", "bluetooth-active", and "bluetooth-disabled" but it won't use the -symbolic variants.

[Mario Guerriero (mefrio-g)]

In elementary are now used the symbolic icons even if I don't think it was an eOS bug

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-bluetooth - 3.6.1-0ubuntu1
