Bug Description

Binary package hint: humanity-icon-theme

if you enable vino through the controlcenter applet an icon is created in the notification area. this icon is fully coulored while the rest of the notification area icons are black and white so it looks slightly out of place.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Unfortunately, New panel greyscale icons cannot be added, as adding the greyscale icons will break apps.
The apps use the same icon for the panel notification area and the system menu.
So changing the icon to a greyscale icon will lead to the greyscale icon being displayed in the system menu.

Ideally we would like the app to be patched to use a different icon name for the notification area.
Until then fixing it in Humanity is not possible.

When this issue is resolved kindly mention the new icon name to be used.

Kindly, assign the affected app using the "also affects project". So that the issue is resolved in the app side first. Thanks

The preferences-desktop-remote-desktop is used there, we can easily update the code to use a preferences-desktop-remote-desktop-notification if the themee has one

It would be better to use preferences-desktop-remote-desktop-systray
or *-tray .. since "notification" might be confused with the notify-osd
icons.

But first we need UX to confirm if this is needed. Do we really want to
do this for all icons?

How does the UX team want these icons , just desaturated versions or the
icons in the same style as the rest of the panel icons.

IMO , it is better to have them as desaturated icons than in the same
style as the rest of the greyscale icons

I was not suggesting a naming and should have used -whatever, it was just to give an idea about the change

You might like this patch, which uses a GIcon with fallbacks, starting from the icon name "preferences-desktop-remote-desktop-panel"
