Faenza display brightness icon (w/ fix)
Laptop users might have noticed that the screen display brightness notification icon doesn't really match our Faenza icons. The dingy yellow color is particularly annoying, IMO...
This is because xfce4-notifyd is grabbing the icon from hicolor and not Faenza. We just need to symlink an existing icon to a location that gets recognized. The file to use is Faenza/status/scalable/display-brightness-symbolic.svg, symlink that file and create the folder(s) Faenza-Bunsen-common/status/48 to put the symlink in, then rename it to xfpm-brightness-lcd.png and logout to load it.
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: Faenza display brightness icon (w/ fix)
Sorry @hhh finally taking a look at this. 
So there are no xfpm-brightness* icons in Faenza, although there are some other xfpm* icons.
The file to use is Faenza/status/scalable/display-brightness-symbolic.svg, symlink that file and create the folder(s) Faenza-Bunsen-common/status/48 to put the symlink in, then rename it to xfpm-brightness-lcd.png and logout to load it.
Does the icon file have to be a png? It seems messy for a symlink called png to be pointing to an svg icon.
It's hard for me to test this on my desktop because I have no xf86 brightness keys and 'xdotool key XF86MonBrightnessDown' seems to have no effect. Starting up the laptop now...
EDIT Confirmed that a symlink Faenza-Bunsen-common/status/scalable/xfpm-brightness-lcd.svg works too.

Re: Faenza display brightness icon (w/ fix)
The symlink was very easy to add, and the code has gone into deuterium, pushed to GitHub.
The deb built from it contained the correct symlink so I think everything's OK, but I'll have to install that deb on the laptop to really test it. Tomorrow.

This also applies to Lubuntu 16.04, which I'm currently using, so thanks! Always nice to learn (and fix) something
