Is it possible to change notification history icon?

Hi,

I use Gnome icon theme. There are no monochrome icons. However, the notification history panel plugin does not change. Is it possible to change this icon or is it hard-coded into the plugin? I have not been able to locate this icon and I have searched both Gnome and Adwaita icon themes.

Xfce 4.14 panel screenshot from MX 19.

Re: Is it possible to change notification history icon?

There are two ways that you might do this:

1. You can re-color the icon by using the following in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

   #xfce4-notification-plugin { color: lightblue; }

   -

2. To replace the icon, you will need to create 4 new png icons in /usr/share/icons/gnome/*x*/status (*x* being the 16x16, 22x22, 24x24, etc directories - depending on the size of your panel):
   - notification.png
   - notification-new.png
   - notification-disabled.png
   - notification-disabled-new.png
   ...run "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome", and then add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

   #xfce4-notification-plugin { -gtk-icon-style: regular; }

Note: any changes made to the gnome icon theme may get overwritten if the gnome icon them is updated.
