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.
Here's a list of themes that supports Hardcode-Tray:
Stable version:
yaourt -S hardcode-tray
Developpement version:
yaourt -S hardcode-tray-git
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andreas-angerer89/sni-qt-patched
sudo apt update
sudo apt install sni-qt sni-qt:i386 hardcode-tray
- Download and install the script:
cd /tmp && wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray/master/install.sh | bash
- Install dependencies:
git
wget
python3
python3-gi
python3-cairosvg
inkscape
librsvg
patched sni-qt
You can build the patched version of sni-qt 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!
--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
or
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 app_name
key in the json files for the program. 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
--force-inkscape
Hardcode-Tray by default detects if the user have either Inkscape or Cairo installed and use on of them to convert SVG icons to PNG. Cairo does not detect CSS styling on SVG icons (see #245).
hardcode-tray --force-inkscape
--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
--update-git
You can also update to the git version of the script
hardcode-tray --update-git
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
