Theming Telegram Panel Icon

As most of you already know, the default Telegram tray icon uses a circular colored (it's blue). For consistency, we will make that icons white-ish. See the screenshot below :

A GitLab user Bandot has created a set of replacement Telegram tray icons which you can use to replace the original Telegram icon.

Features

• Support idle (no unread messages)
• Support unread messages
• Support unread messages (muted chat)
• Up to 1000 unread messages support

Here are all you have to do to install the icons :

• Download the package
• Extract the Zip
• Copy ticons folder
• Go to .local/share/TelegramDesktop/tdata/ directory in your Home folder (press Ctrl+H to show hidden files)
• Replace the original ticons folder
• Open Telegram desktop app
• Enjoy white-ish top bar icons

As I have mentioned earlier, the icons cover 1000 unread message only. If the message out of custom icon number, it will be automatically generated with default Telegram style.
