Description Holger Bauer 2005-05-08 12:21:52 UTC 
The tray icon is not visible when you use a dark gtk theme.
Possible solution: add a white outline to the icon.
Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2005-05-08 16:31:29 UTC 
Can you point to a theme that causes problems?

Seems to me like this is a general notificatin area problem and not rhythmbox 
related.
Comment 2 Holger Bauer 2005-05-08 16:59:18 UTC 
One problematic theme is http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/aero/
2nd example theme is xfce-dusk, that comes with the xfce-engine.

Switch component to "User Interface"

The tray icon also isn't transparent, look ugly with a transparent panel.

You could say this about many icons and themes if you wish to add a white outline the icon is usually located:

/usr/share/rhythmbox/art/rhythmbox-tray-icon.png
/usr/local/share/rhythmbox/art/rhythmbox-tray-icon.png

Feel free to edit it and submit your edited version as an attachment to this bug for further review

The new tray icon seems to work nicely with just about any background colour.
