A quick run-down of the problems I'm having with the other approaches: 1] The functions gtk_status_icon_set_from_icon_name() and gtk_status_icon_set_from_gicon() do in fact use gtk_icon_info_load_symbolic_for_context() to attempt loading symbolic icons using the context from a private GtkImage object. However, the colors are all wrong - shouldn't the foreground color of the adwaita theme be set to white, as how the system-tray icons of gome-shell themselves are white? All three snippets below result in a white foreground color: // An empty path path = gtk_widget_path_new (); gtk_style_context_set_path (style_context, path); // Simulate the GtkImage path of GtkStatusIcon path = gtk_widget_path_new (); gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_IMAGE); gtk_style_context_set_path (style_context, path); // A random window (off-white) window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); gtk_widget_show (window); style_context = gtk_widget_get_style_context (window); 2] Since the GtkStyleContext of GtkStatusIcon is private, it is not possible to manually render and composite pixbufs from several symbolic icons before calling gtk_status_icon_set_from_pixbuf (). I've also tried using GEmblemedIcon as an alternative to manually compositing several pixbufs, however ran into several problems with that approach: 2] The emblem position of a GEmblemedIcon can't be controlled. The emblem attachment points can be retrieved with gtk_icon_info_get_attach_points (), however they can't be modified. 3] GtkIconTheme discards emblems from GIcons. Since gtk_status_icon_set_from_gicon() uses gtk_icon_info_load_symbolic_for_context () to create a pixbuf, the emblems of status-tray icons will be discarded. Since GtkStatusIcon provides no method of displaying layered symbolic icons I've had to resort to the workaround in the previous post, though I would love to discover the proper way of accomplishing this. sincerely, _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
