XChat should use a monochrome icon

[Manish Sinha (मनीष सिन्हा)]

I see that XChat uses it own icon which is placed in /usr/share/icons/ Now if someone wants to create a iconset with XChat icon, then it becomes very difficult to do so.

XChat should be patched to use the theme specific Icon and use it's icon as a fallback.

I reported the bug upstream
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2971499&group_id=239&atid=100239

*** Note ***
Icon already present in the Humanity theme as "xchat-panel"

Assigning it in XChat as I don't know the exact package.

Thanks for sending upstream.

XChat is arguably the most popular irc client for linux users and should definitely use a monochrome icon (especially since it apparently already has one).

Perhaps this could be done before 10.10 is out?

Feodor , Bug has already been set as triaged, confirmed is a status lower than triaged. :-)

Xchat currently does not change its tray icon with the gtk theme even though other apps (transmission for example) do. I think this is xchat not respecting some sort of freedesktop.org thing.

Is this in the panel? We are now using messaging menu for that. Inside that all icons are colored.
