Mint-y theme and icons
Hi.
Using Mint-Y GTK and icon themes.
A few panel icons (sound and wifi indicators) are black on the black panel.
Do we need a Mint-Y light or dark icon set?
Thanks!

Same thing under MATE by the way, not unique to XFCE panel.

Do you use an integrated Intel video device?

Re: Mint-y theme and icons
The icons it's using are inherited from Mint-X which has the same issue. This is something that is going to be addressed for Mint19.
When I give opinions, they are my own. Not necessarily those of any other Linux Mint developer or the Linux Mint project as a whole.
Re: Mint-y theme and icons
One solution is to manually replace the default icons with more colorful custom ones, as seen in this picture. The Mint-Y theme is used in the middle and right panels.
Check the info in my last post in this topic, under Update: Mint 18.3 Xfce Applications Menu Editing:
under the sections Changing the network and sound icons in the panel’s system tray area: and

Re: Mint-y theme and icons
This issue has bugged me since the release of Mint 18 xfce, as I prefer the more modern looking Mint-Y theme.
My solution was to use Mint-Y as the style, then to install the Vibrancy Icon theme using this ppa:
http://www.ravefinity.com/p/vibrancy-co ... theme.html
Then set the icons to Vibrancy-Dark-Green.
Ignore the warning that Vibrancy doesn't work on Mint 18. That's just for Cinnamon. It works perfectly well in XFCE.
As has been mentioned, I hope this is addressed in Mint 19.

Re: Mint-y theme and icons
Thanks for the feedback.
As for myself, I simply switched to a completely different GTK theme, and use the Papirus icon theme, which I like very much.
I really like the Mint-Y icon theme but the drawbacks are the toolbar icons color, and the fact it's still only available in green.

Re: Mint-y theme and icons
That's one of the reasons I suggested the Vibrancy theme. It's very similar to Mint-Y, in fact I think Mint-Y is based on it to a degree. The Toolbar Icons render perfectly, & it's available in many different colours.
Re: Mint-y theme and icons
Now using the Vibrancy-Dark-Green-Viva icon theme with Mint-Y GTK theme, and they blend perfectly, thanks!

Re: Mint-y theme and icons
also, for Mate,
it would be nice to have a Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua/Blue/... themes, similar to the more popular Mint-X-(Color) Themes.
Although, customizing the existing mint-y-dark can get fairly close to what I want, but still, I'm not a fan of the mint-y-flat/squared icons.
