Taskbar icon color change Mint 21

Post by parchping »

Mint 21.1, Mate

This is a small issue. My Bluetooth and KeepassXC icons in the right end of the taskbar used to be blue and green respectively. Now Bluetooth is black and KP is white.

How can I change the colors back? I've looked at changing Appearance/Themes, there does not seem to be anything there that helps.

Thanks, Steve

Not everyone has Bluetooth and fewer has KeepassXC. It will take a lot of leisure time and effort to reproduce your issue to me. So I were letting your question passed.

But anyway, you can still test out every different themes old and new, then reboot / relogin to see if those tray icons change. To limit the scope, change in customize > icons instead of the full theme.

I've tried the different themes via customization. The most that happens is black changes to white and vice versa.

Which icon themes have you tried? You may take a look at "Yaru". If it is not available

Code: Select all

sudo apt install yaru-theme-icon

I changed my icon themes to Yaru. This certainly changed my icons, but did not affect the taskbar. An interesting result, it looks like the icon appearance is separate from the taskbar icons.

Thanks for looking billyswong!

You can change the appearance of the Taskleiten icon in the KeepassXC settings.

Hah! Thank you, I missed that setting.
The KeepassXC icon was the worst. The bluetooth icon I can put up with.
