If you mean Desktop Theme, then it is Oxygen...

BTW, here are the icons:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3hZCb9pO9JcUlpwSzFOTXlKMFU/edit?usp=sharing

I have a problem currently with my Dropbox so I uploaded them to Google Drive.
Tell me if the file is OK.

I just noticed something...

After the checking, when there are no updates, the icon turns to normal as it should.
Only when there are updates available, the icon doesn't change to reflect the status...

I committed your icons in this commit log: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/qt-update-notifier/commit/949382ca295465dc530b5bc5f846b30711c9ebe3

once again,thank you for your icons.

The tray changes to "need attention" when it finds updates.Thats the only difference that can account for the icon not showing.I havent found the cause yet but i am still keep on looking.

Don't mention it. It was only an hour's work with CorelDRAW.

Wish I could provide more help...

This held a clue i was missing and i think i have fixed the problem now.

I made a new release and have already requested a package update here: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,113511.msg968978.html#msg968978

Just installed version 1.2.0.

I have to report that everything now works perfectly!
Icons update as they should to reflect the status of the repository.
Additionally, there is no smaller icon on the left (or right) lower corner. The icons appear normally.

Thank you for this great tool muungwana!
And thanks to sling-shot for the great (and quick) packaging!
I guess other testers should also find it ready to go public ;)

On first run, I get the message in the tooltip "waiting for 5 minutes before checking for updates"
Can this be changed at this stage? (maybe by editing the file ~/.config/qt-update-notifier/qt-update-notifier.interval)

The git version now supports a config file named "qt-update-notifier-firstCheck.time". The config file can be used to set how long the application will wait after it is started up before it checks if its time to check for updates or not.

The time in the config file is in seconds and the default value of the config file is "300" to represent 5 minutes of wait time.

Laptops generally do not remain on always. Hence a user selectable option in the GUI to enable autostart would be nice.

If it looks like there are no other pending feature requests, would you make a final version for release and testing?
Then it could be submitted for wider testing and inclusion in the repos.
