Hardcode-Tray

Fixes Hardcoded tray icons in Linux

The script will automagically detect your default theme, the right icon size, the hardcoded applications, the right icons for each indicator and fix them. All that with the possibilty to revert to the original icons.

For a better experience use Numix icon theme.

How to use

Install the script

cd /tmp && wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray/master/install.sh | bash

Install python3-cairosvg or inkscape - Debian/Ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install python3-cairosvg
sudo apt-get install inkscape - Fedora :
sudo dnf install python3-cairosvg
sudo dnf install inkscape - Arch :
sudo pacman -S python-cairosvg
sudo pacman -S inkscape

Install the patched version of sni-qt - Debian/Ubuntu :

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybre/sni-qt-eplus
 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 sudo apt-get install sni-qt sni-qt:i386

- Arch : <br />
  <pre>
  yaourt sni-qt-eplus
  yaourt lib32-sni-qt-eplus-bzr
  </pre>

You can build it from source code if you are using an other distro (like Fedora).
The sni-qt:i386 is used for 32 bits applications as Skype.
Teamviewer is also using the sni-qt package, however it is shipping its own version. Therefore this script also overwrites the version shipped by teamviewer with the patched one. 4. Open Hardcode-Tray using this command

hardcode-tray

Enjoy!

Options

--apply and --revert

Hardcode-Tray shows by default a welcome message and ask the user to choose between applying the fix or reverting it. You can hide that using

hardcode-tray --apply

hardcode-tray --revert

--only

You can use --only argument to fix/revert only one application, don't use the argument if you want to fix all applications your icon theme supports.

hardcode-tray --only telegram,skype

In order to get the names needed to fix only specific programs, you can look at the second column of db.csv. There you can find the corresponding name for the program you want to fix.

--path

If you installed your app in a non standard location, you can override the path where the icons are stored using the --path argument. Only works in combination with the --only argument for a single application.

hardcode-tray --only telegram --path /home/user/telegram/

--size

You can also use --size 24/22/16 to force the script to use a different icon size or if the script does not detect your desktop environment.

hardcode-tray --size 24 --only dropbox

--theme

You can fix your hardcoded icons using an other theme than the default one.

hardcode-tray --theme Numix --only dropbox

--version

You can print the version of Hardcode-Tray using

hardcode-tray --version

--update

You can also update to the latest version of the script

hardcode-tray --update

Uninstallation

To remove the script completely from your desktop you can use

cd /tmp && wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray/master/uninstall.sh | bash
