Wishlist: better theme integration

[macho]

KeePass's look & feel fits in very well with Windows, but less so with Unity. It would be helpful for it to have an icon in the launcher, for menus to appear at the top of the screen, to use the system colour scheme, Ubuntu icons, etc.

The missing launcher icon is unity bug 768931
global menu support would probably have to be implemented in mono winforms, which is unlikely to happen.
Theming is also currently not supported by winforms.

Agreed.

> It would be helpful for it to have an icon in the launcher,
Fixed in KeePass 2.20

> for menus to appear at the top of the screen,
I have started developing a plugin for this. To try it out, in a terminal, type:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dlech/keepass2-plugins
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install keepass2-plugin-application-menu

There is also a separate addon for an Application Indicator (tray icon)
    sudo apt-get install keepass2-plugin-application-inidcator

Since these are plugins, don't report any issues with the plugins here, but rather at https://github.com/dlech/Keebuntu/issues

> to use the system colour scheme,
Would be alot of work to make this happen with winforms. Effort would be better spent rewirting using a better cross-platform UI such as GTK or Qt.

> Ubuntu icons, etc.
Not sure what you mean here
