NetBird sends its tray icon as a pixmap, so an icon theme can't replace it. patch.py rewrites the 48x48 PNGs embedded in netbird-ui in place: the glyph is scaled to 80% to get Breeze's padding and the white variants take the panel text color (#dedede). A pacman hook re-patches the binary after every netbird-ui upgrade, and restore.sh puts the original back.

# Tray icons that match Breeze
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
stow -d kde -t "$HOME" tray-icons
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some icons need one more step after stowing; see below.
|
|
|
|
## Ngó Sen (fcitx5-ngosen)
|
|
|
|
Replaces Ngó Sen's monochrome tray icons with a V/E inside a rounded frame.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo ~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/install.sh
|
|
~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/restart-fcitx5.sh
|
|
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Ngó Sen points the tray at `/usr/share/icons/hicolor`, but Plasma looks
|
|
the icon up by name in the `breeze`/`breeze-dark` themes under
|
|
`/usr/share` and ignores `~/.local/share/icons`, so the system files have
|
|
to be replaced.
|
|
- `install.sh` copies the icons and `apply.sh` to
|
|
`/usr/local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/`, installs the pacman hook
|
|
`/etc/pacman.d/hooks/ngosen-breeze-icons.hook` to re-apply them after
|
|
every package upgrade, and sets `UseLotusIcons=False` and
|
|
`IconTheme=Dark` in `~/.config/fcitx5/conf/ngosen.conf`.
|
|
- The original icons are kept in `/usr/local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/orig/`;
|
|
`sudo ~/.local/share/ngosen-breeze-icons/restore.sh` puts them back and
|
|
removes the hook.
|
|
- On KDE Wayland don't start fcitx5 with `fcitx5 -d`; use
|
|
`restart-fcitx5.sh` so KWin launches it.
|
|
|
|
## NetBird (netbird-ui)
|
|
|
|
Scales NetBird's tray icons down to 80% so they get the padding of Breeze
|
|
status icons, and draws the white ones in the panel's text color
|
|
(`#dedede`) instead of pure white.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo ~/.local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/install.sh
|
|
pkill -x netbird-ui; setsid -f netbird-ui --daemon-addr unix:///var/run/netbird/main.sock >/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- NetBird sends the tray icon as raw pixels, not an icon name, so an icon
|
|
theme can't replace it. `patch.py` rewrites the 48x48 PNGs embedded in
|
|
`/usr/bin/netbird-ui` in place instead; each new PNG fits in the bytes
|
|
of the old one.
|
|
- `install.sh` copies `patch.py` and `apply.sh` to
|
|
`/usr/local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/` and installs the pacman hook
|
|
`/etc/pacman.d/hooks/netbird-breeze-icons.hook` to re-patch the binary
|
|
after every `netbird-ui`/`netbird-ui-bin` upgrade.
|
|
- The original binary is kept in `/usr/local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/orig/`;
|
|
`sudo ~/.local/share/netbird-breeze-icons/restore.sh` puts it back and
|
|
removes the hook.
|
|
|
|
## qBittorrent
|
|
|
|
`qbittorrent-tray-mono.svg` is qBittorrent's monochrome tray icon scaled
|
|
down to 78%, so it has the same padding as Breeze status icons instead of
|
|
filling the whole tray slot.
|
|
|
|
qBittorrent 5.x only looks the tray icon up in the icon theme when "Use
|
|
icons from system theme" is on, so also set (qBittorrent closed, or via
|
|
Tools > Options > Behavior):
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
# ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf
|
|
[Appearance]
|
|
TrayIconStyle=Monochrome
|
|
|
|
[Preferences]
|
|
Advanced\useSystemIconTheme=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`qBittorrent.conf` itself isn't stowed: qBittorrent rewrites it on exit.
