[ePapirus] KDE Connect Indicator icon in elementary os

[rituraj22]

The icon for kde connect in ePapirus is not monochrome.

I am using elementary 0.4.1 Loki with kdeconnect from https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/indicator-kdeconnect (0.9.4-1~webupd8~xenial0)
with papirus icon theme from official ppa (build 20180429-2352+pkg18~ubuntu16.04.1)

try update icon cache:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/ePapirus

[rituraj22]

I tried it. But it won't update. I tried to change icon packs, and the icon does change for other icon packs, but for some reason, ePapirus still has this icon.

I even rebooted my system, but it still shows same icon.

[varlesh]

hm, it's strange and i'm not understand why used 32px icon. 24px available:
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/blob/master/ePapirus/24x24/panel/smartphoneconnected.svg

This 32px colorized icons used for notifications and kde konnect settings window:

@SmartFinn hi, have ideas?

[24x24/panel]
Context=Status
Size=24
Type=Fixed
[32x32/status]
Context=Status
Size=32
Type=Fixed

[rituraj22]

Well I looked into it and found out that the icon pack with name smartphone-connected.svg works but in ePapirus it is smartphoneconnected.svg

[varlesh]

@rituraj22 nope, it's old icon names. Icons renamed by KDE dev upstream and kde-connect indicator too:
KDE/kdeconnect-kde@e72bbfe#diff-50c4d86debe5015d6def16889e9a0814
b4j4/indicator-kdeconnect@ab39a75#diff-08be054e69b58bd2f6a30f979de16c6e

@rituraj22 also see release notes:

Fix Icons Name

[rituraj22]

For the time being, I made a copy of the icon with name smartphone-connected.svg , and it's working fine. Thanks for the help. Hope you guys will sort out the issue.

maybe you use old package indicator-kdeconnect/kdeconnect?

[rituraj22]

I have uninstalled kdeconnect and indicator-kdeconnect. Redownloaded, and installed.
So now when i run update, it shows

indicator-kdeconnect is already the newest version (0.9.4-1~webupd8~xenial0).
kdeconnect is already the newest version (1.0.3-0ubuntu2~webupd8~xenial1).

Still, the names work like in older versions. So I don't know what's wrong with it.

[varlesh]

you use old version kdeconnect, fresh version 1.3:
https://cgit.kde.org/kdeconnect-kde.git

[varlesh]

fresh version available on Neon PPA:
https://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/k/kdeconnect/
But i don't know it's compability with eOS or not, need check this

[rituraj22]

@varlesh There are some issues with dependancies in that version

[varlesh]

i set upstream bug, because i think it's happened with old package kdeconnect.
issues openned on upstream PPA:
b4j4/indicator-kdeconnect#126

I had the same issue on my system with Papirus-Adapta. I solved it by creating symlinks.

@varlesh Any reason against creating symlinks with added "-" to smartphoneconnected.svg, smartphonedisconnected.svg and smartphonetrusted.svg in all Papirus icon sets? Seems like an easy solution for this issue.

[varlesh]

It's not our problem. KDEConnect and Indicator KDEConnect already released with new icon names:
https://github.com/Bajoja/indicator-kdeconnect/releases/tag/0.9.4
https://cgit.kde.org/kdeconnect-kde.git/tree/icon
Please report bug to WEBUPD8 Team - they used old version kdeconnect on PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/indicator-kdeconnect
Or build kdeconnect for your self

[varlesh]

I'm soon add symlinks, because fresh kdeconnect version impossible used on Xenial, depends for build failed:

set(QT_MIN_VERSION "5.7.0")
set(KF5_MIN_VERSION "5.42.0")

But on Xenial used KF5 5.18:

[varlesh]

@malysps @rituraj22 symlinks added
