xchat and hexchat

[Foggalong]

It would be nice to add support for xchat and it's successor hexchat. Let me know if there's anything else you need :)

[bilelmoussaoui]

I will do today ;)

[Foggalong]

Thanks <3

It seems that the icons are not hardcoded hexchat/data/icons the icons are installed in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
Can you confirm that?

[Foggalong]

I only have hexchat.svg in that folder and I believe it's the app icon version, not the tray icon

[bilelmoussaoui]

Are you using any plugin to have the tray icon?

[Foggalong]

No, it just comes with the stock program :(

[bilelmoussaoui]

can you paste the ouput of cd / && sudo find -name *tray_highlight*; also a screenshot of /tmp/ or just the folder content

[Foggalong]

Output of cd / && sudo find -name *tray_highlight*

what's inside sni-qt_python2.7.. ? if it has nothing to do with hexchat, paste the output of cd / && sudo find -name "hexchat"

[Foggalong]

Nothing :(

Output of cd / && sudo find -name "hexchat"

• /usr/bin/hexchat
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hexchat
• /usr/share/lintian/overrides/hexchat
• /usr/share/menu/hexchat
• /usr/share/doc/hexchat
• /home/josh/.files/config/hexchat
• /home/josh/.config/hexchat

I didn't find any icon :( It's seems that hexchat will merge this brench soon appindicator
I think that icons should be named hexchat-tray but not sure if they will work :/
@wa4557 do you have any idea?

[Foggalong]

Last work in February doesn't give me much hope for that branch :(

[bilelmoussaoui]

I will look install it in Ubuntu unity and see if i can get the icons name, i don't promise anything :/

[Foggalong]

I've tried running cd / && sudo find . -wholename *tray_highlight* which is the name of the attention icon and it's not brought up anything. How have they hardcoded it into the binaries of the application? :(

[bilelmoussaoui]

I downloaded the deb file, extracted it and i think that the icons are hardcoded into the binaries of the application as you said :(

[Foggalong]

I'll report that to the upstream and we can try and get this fixed.

[bilelmoussaoui]

I hope so

[Foggalong]

This is the issue and this is what I've been linked to.

[Foggalong]

Just as an update on this, the icons in that directory need to be PNG

[bilelmoussaoui]

Okay, if i understand the icons need to be png but where i should copy the icons? in the doc they only mention that the icons must be in a seperate dir in the config directory but which directory?

[bilelmoussaoui]

If you can have the path to the directory were the icons must be copied i can fix this as soon as i've that ;)

[bilelmoussaoui]

Ops the directory must be named icons. I will do add that tomorrow ;)

[bilelmoussaoui]

Fixed in my latest commit , be sure that $HOME/.config/hexchat/icons/ do exists ;)

[Foggalong]

@bil-elmoussaoui That directory doesn't get created when hexchat is installed so won't be there for the majority of users. Could you make it so that if the folder isn't there it's created? something like this

if not os.path.exists(userhome + "/.config/hexchat/icons/"):
    os.makedirs(userhome + "/.config/hexchat/icons/")

[bilelmoussaoui]

Done 👍
Can you symlink the icons in Numix into

tray_fileoffer.png, hexchat-fileoffer
tray_highlight.png, hexchat-highlight
tray_message.png, hexchat-message
hexchat.png, hexchat-indicator

[Foggalong]

Done!
