KDE's default colour scheme has a dark background for the taskbar. The old icon had a transparent (or black) "B⃦", but the new one is simply white, which is too close to the gold at small (16x16) sizes.

To be clear: this is about the taskbar icon, not @jonasschnelli 's new application icon.
It looks a bit strange bit the white instead of transparency. The old one looked simpler. I noticed this on Ubuntu default theme too.
Versus before:
I slightly prefer the previous one, too. Except for the color it fitted perfectly with the "Ubuntu Mono Dark" theme style. Maybe we need a theme-dependent icons somehow.

I think for Ubuntu colors in the taskbar should be removed entirely, in order to be conform to the taskbar style. At least for Prodnet.
(Testnet could either be darker/shaded, be symbolized by a T rather than the Bitcoin symbol or perhaps a broken coin.)

Truly an issue. I'll have a look at it. But do we have a explicit 16x16 icon for the taskbar? Which file does ubuntu/linux grab? .ICO file or does it resize the 256x256 in mem?

@jonasschnelli it uses the same icon as the taskbar on windows at the moment (toolbar.png / toolbar_testnet.png). But if you make an linux specific icon, that logic could be changed.

How does it look on windows taskbar? Is there also a need to have the "B" in transparent color? If it's okay on win, i think we should do a special toolbar_linux.png version (enhance [gfx]quality for one-line of platform specific code is okay in my eye). I can produce the code (hopefully).
