I want to change Mega's panel icon to better fit with my theme but I can't figure out what to name the icons. Has anyone managed to change Mega's icon?

I know how to change specific icons, but I just don't know what what name Mega uses for its panel icons.

Mega looks out of place, doesn't it?

After seeing various forums, I finally found out that Mega stores its panel icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status. I think it is possible to change the icons by copying other images to that directory with the same name.

I sent an email to Mega support and they told me the icon is hardcoded and thus cannot be changed.

It appears that Megasync checks ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status before checking /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status. Thus, if you place files with the following names:

  • megaalert.svg
  • megalogging.svg
  • megapaused.svg
  • megasynching.svg
  • megauptodate.svg
  • megawarning.svg

in this ~/.local[...] path directory, it should load those icons instead.

  1. sudo cp -i /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/megauptodate.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status/megauptodate.svg
  2. sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor
  3. reboot the computer
