There appears to be chatter about this problem here, and here, suggesting that the latest version of dropbox (3.0.3) now uses the Qt UI.I also note that when it is present, the icon(s) and theme/style being used are still not consistent with the locally set theme. Again, disappointingly, the icon only appears intermittently - once out of every few shutdown/boot cycles, so YMMV! I'm uncertain as to precisely which, if any, of the above steps were necessary to affect the appearance of the icon. $ python -version produces Python 2.7.6.The dropbox icon appears in the notification area, not the system tray, of the xfce4-panel.The running version is being invoked from ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.2.9/.Followed the tip from here which disables auto-start of the indicator-application-service at login (called 'Indicator Application' in the 'Session and Startup'/'Application Autostart' menu).libappindicator3-dev (was not already installed).libappindicator3-1 (was not already installed).libappindicator1 (tried because of these tips, found it was already installed).Here's a list of everything I can remember I did before the hard reboot: deb package, I now intermittently see this after each hard reboot: ![]() ![]() So, err, after purging then re-installing Dropbox from here using the.

However, the icons actually being used ( ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.2.9/images/hicolor/16x16/status) are PNG files with transparency, however on inspection the background is #EFEBE7, which suggests the alpha channel is being used, and something else is setting this as the background color. Here, I am using elementary-xfce-dark, and can confirm that the Dropbox status icons I want to use are present in /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce-dark/panel. This has installed dropbox version 3.2.9 which appears to be working again, however the notifier icon in the xfce4-panel does not abide by the locally set theme/icons: ![]() I performed the following as suggested here: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-distĮDIT: as this had failed to resolve the problem described below, I have also tried to install Dropbox from the.
