Re: [SOLVED] tray icon

Hi.

That depends where you got it and on your current icon theme. Is it a Flatpak, AppImage, Snap, or regular a .deb package?

System-wide icons are located in /usr/share/icons.

xfconf-query --channel xsettings --property /Net/IconThemeName

will output the name of your current icon theme. The icons from its set will reside in its subdirectory, i.e. /usr/share/icons/YOUR_ICON_THEME.

Containerized software distribution platforms (Snap Store, Flatpak) ship icons separately, I believe.

Re: [SOLVED] tray icon

This icon theme doesn't use green-colored icons for Skype, which suggests that you might have Skype installed as a snap. Since you didn't tell us that (or maybe you don't know), try checking the /snap/skype/current directory first. This is where Skype snap resides. It will look like your root directory with lib, usr and a bunch of other subdirectories in it. The icons are stored in usr/share/skype/icons. A simple search, like so:

find /snap/skype/current -name '*.png'

should produce the list of found icons that is shipped with this snap package. Another one:

find /snap/skype/current -name '*.png' -exec ristretto {} +

will open them in Ristretto Image Viewer for closer inspection. You may replace the command to execute to your favorite image viewer, if you like.
