Make Skype's tray icon monochrome on Linux
Before/after:
TL;DR: Use skype1ico
This was done on Arch Linux and KDE Plasma 5, but other systems will work
# Install GCC with support for cross-compiling to 32 bit sudo pacman -S gcc-multilib git clone https://github.com/derlaft/skype1ico cd skype1ico qmake-qt4 -spec linux-g++-32 && make |
Remember the path to this skype1ico folder.
Make this shell script which you will start Skype with:
run_skype.sh#!/bin/bash cd ~/path/to/skype1ico export LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD:+$LD_PRELOAD:}$(pwd)/libskype1ico.so" export SKYPE1ICO_THEME=native exec /usr/bin/skype |
And here's the theme itself (paste this into the file):

This theme just uses the environment's native icons, which are hopefully monochrome or better fitting.
The supplied picture-based themes don't seem to work with KDE Plasma...
