tray icons for pidgin – humanity style

Published November 5th, 2009 by Chad

These are not professionally done. Fair warning. I just like to customize things to the way I like them and when I saw that most of the icons in the gnome panel in the notification area were gray scale icons, I had to make (or find) some for pidgin (my personal IM client of choice).

You can download my icons if you wish.

Changing the icons is easy enough to do.

  1. Backup your existing icon directorysudo cp -r /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/22 /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/22.oldNOTE: The size that my gnome panel uses is 22. Yours may differ and there are other size folders in the tray folder to choose from.
  2. Copy the new icon folder where the other one wassudo cp -r ~/22 /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/You can use mine (if your panel also uses size 22) or you can make your own. Just make sure your image files are named the same.
  3. Restart Pidgin and you will have nice humanity themed icons.
