[Solved] Toolbar icons now dark/transparent

lcafiero · 2016-09-23 19:59:37

This is a very small problem which I bet would have a very simple solution, although I came up empty perusing the BL and #! forums, at least so far.

This may or may not have happened after an update yesterday (and I only mention it because I noticed it afterward), but all the icons in the top right of the toolbar (with the exception of the volume) seem to be either black/dark or transparent. These include the battery, wifi, and clipboard. They are still operational - hovering over it and right-clicking them allow them to work - but they are just not the same as they once were (e.g., white on the black toolbar background).

Fortunately (or obsessively -- you decide), I have two machines running BL, so I compared the tint2rc files and found the settings to be the same, yet on one machine the icons are light/non-transparent (white on black toolbar background, white/green for the battery icon). I'm using the Bunsen theme (in Openbox Configuration Manager) and the Faenza-Bunsen icon theme.

Maybe it matters, or maybe not: This "problem" occurs on the 64-bit ThinkPad T500. It seems OK on the 32-bit ThinkPad T42.

I have a feeling the answer to this question may lie in this tint2 link. But after reading it over, it doesn't appear that anything is wrong with my tint2rc file, though I could be missing it.

Any suggestions?

I had this happen on one laptop. It may have been from messing around with the volume while trying to record something, and then use Skype, and that sort of thing. But I'm not sure. Anyway, I fixed it with the following:

Preferences > Tint2 > Edit Tint2 > Tint2 Editor > (check next to) tint2/tint2rc > OK >
Change this line:
systray_icon_asb = 100 0 0
to this:
systray_icon_asb = 100 0 100

It was a small problem to me, too, at first. But when a screen in sunlight and those icons are grayed out, they are very difficult to see...

Thanks, MsMattie! That did the trick. I am going to have to figure out what I did to make it change, so it doesn't happen again. I'll mark it solved.
