VLC icon in notification area when player is active.
Posted: 22 Jul 2010 15:33
Hi,
Using: Linux / Ubuntu (v. Lucid Lynx) running Gnome.
The current Ubuntu VLC version is: 1.0.6 Goldeneye
When VLC media player is running it displays an icon on my top panel's notification area which allows control of the player.
If you look at this small screen capture you will see that the VLC 'running' icon is not 'transparent' and that is shows a white background, this is ruining the aesthetic of the panel. See below:
At the other end of the same panel I have several application launcher icons, one of which is VLC, however this icon is different and is nicely transparent - it looks good. See below:
How can I set it up so that VLC uses the same nice application launcher icon instead of the non-transparent icon it uses in the notification area?
Many thanks.
