[Lucid] No icon for transmission in any icon theme except Humanity

[Dmitry Tantsur]

Binary package hint: transmission

That's because of the strange idea to change it's normal icon to grayscale. Now this icon should be provided for ALL themes that Ubuntu is shipped with.

Excuse me, do you have transmission icon in grayscale in any theme? It is so uncomfortable to see all the grayscale icons except the one of Transmission.

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

I have grayscale icon in "humanity" and no icon in all other themes.

Thanks for your report, I can't really reproduce that - If I change either theme or icons Transmission uses the default icon and not the monochromatic one. Can you still reproduce that on the up-to-date system?

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

Easily. See the screenshot

It seems to happen only if you (1) remove indicator applet and (2) change theme when Transmission is running. Right?

[Dmitry Tantsur (divius)]

Looks like you're right, thank you. But why?

The bug seems to be in the indicator-application. The fallback mechanism doesn't seem to update icon on the theme change in case the previous icon is missing (for example transmission uses two different icons - one for monochrome iconsets: transmission-tray-icon.svg and the second for other themes: transmission.png). I have attached a proof-of-concept branch that fixes this issue.
