How to change systray icons

asked Jan 25 '14

Is there a way to customize systray icons? Where is i3 picking up the systray icons from? I have a weird problem where the icon for Caffeine has this strange spacer attached to it. I'd like to switch this icon out with one of my own. How can I do this?

Not i3 is looking for icons, but the application itself. According to the specification, this order is maintained: $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps. Here, folder names are themes. the hicolor-theme is the fallback theme.
