Bug Description

fcitx-data package provided a icon for the default keyboard input method (e.g. Keyboard US) in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fcitx-kbd.svg

However, in Ubuntu 16.04, this icon is not being used, instead, it was replaced by the default gnome icon for keyboard (I guess it's /usr/share/app-install/icons/gnome-dev-keyboard.svg, see screenshot). This gnome icon is uncoordinated with other icons in the indicator bar. As can be seen in the screenshot, this icon has multiple colors, while, other icons in the indicator are single color / gray color.

Replace it with the grayscaled /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fcitx-kbd.svg should be welcomed.

Was the fcitx systray supposed to show what language you are using as well? Could this be related? I have the old icon as well.

mozc -> custom installed with its own fcitx config pointing to the current icon.
french canadian -> just old keyboard icon
english us -> just old keyboard icon
esperanto -> just old keyboard icon

Stracing the fcitx and unity processes you can see on language switch that no icon information is being sent to the systray for anything other than mozc.
