[Bug 1039612] Re: notification helper > reboot action dont respect plasma-style

[Harald Sitter]

Mh. There is a rationale for why it is not using a monochrome icon and
it has been discussed maaaaany times as to whether that should be
changed.

Basically it comes down to the reboot notification being a system
notification. It is not like the random chat application cluttering the
systray, the presence of this icon should invoke fear in the user so
that they reboot the system :P. Not doing so as soon as possible can and
(depending on what was upgraded) will cause bogus behavior due to
runtime conflicts between what was installed (and therefore is loaded
right now) and what was installed (what will be loaded from now on).

Pretty much the same goes for the bulb as it requires your attention
right now to ask you a couple of question so it can automagically fix
your user experience.

The download thing I will agree with though, this should be monochrome.
But actually the plan is to get rid of it entirely because it causes
terrible confusion due to lack of context (i.e. from a visual POV there
is no link between the panel and rekonq so it's not clear what the
download thing is triggered by etc.). Long term solution here is to move
notifications into its own library and then have the notificatino inside
the app (such as through kmessagewidget).

Finally I am still pro-monochrome, and ultimately we'd have monochrome-
style icons with color (i.e. still set them visually a part from the
other icons but stylewise fit in with them). Problem here is that we
have no artwork for that, so unless you know a good icon artists who'd
be willing to create these new icons I don't see that happening soon.
