Public bug reported:
This is a bug quite common, and I'd like to see it removed some day.
Basically, it's impossible for a custom icon theme to change myUnity
icon since it's ".desktop" file (namely, myunity.desktop), has this
"Icon" item:
"Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/myunity.png"
With this entry, the system seeks for a "myunity.png" icon located in
"/usr/share/pixmaps". So, for a custom icon theme (that usually cannot interact
in system folders) it's impossible to change MyUnity icon to follow other
icons' overall style.
The standard behaviour (namely, the behaviour of all the applications that
don't show this issue) should be this:
"Icon=myunity"
Doing this, the system will not search in a specific location, but first
it seeks if the custom icon theme has a "myunity" icon, and if this is
not the case it will seek in default icon theme (ie, hicolor).
Obviously, your app should at the same time add a myunity icon in
"hicolor" icon theme.
