Hi, I'm the one who mentioned this in the chat room. Thanks for creating this feature request here.
I'd just like to add a screenshot for context:
from element-desktop.
I was messing around with this in KDE Plasma Breeze-Dark theme, trying to get the icon to change. I had no success, but I made an icon. Thought I would share if the project wanted to add it.
Its 22x22 in SVG format.
from element-desktop.
Little 🆙 here, with the transition to Element and its new logo, it's even more visible than before and very eye-catching, which is very disturbing in a desktop environment with monochrome icons.

just fyi for people voting this up: only voting the topmost comment will influence the vote ranking in the issue overview (even though its empty 😅).

I was considering opening an issue for the same problem, current icon really looks out of place:
I hope your icon makes it into Element.

@holocronweaver thanks
Monochrome system tray icon theme is defaulted to when selecting a dark Element UI theme.
I'm not sure if I agree with that so I've taken that out but feel free to leave it in your comment.
Optional stretch feature which would tie Element desktop theming together: default to dark themes (UI and icon) if desktop environment is using a dark theme.
That's already a feature. If it doesn't work for you I would suggest you comment on #690 and/or #881.

Since this issue has no description, I filled out the template. ( @aaronraimist - feel free to copy/modify to your original post since it seems this issue has become the tracker for this request. )

What would you like to do?
Provide a dark / monochrome system tray icon for desktop environments with dark themes.
Why would you like to do it?
Dark tray icons would make Element look more professional and provide a consistent UI experience.
How would you like to achieve it?
- A new user setting to select a system tray icon theme on desktop.
- A new monochrome system tray icon theme is added.
- Monochrome system tray icon theme is defaulted to when selecting a dark Element UI theme.

Maybe I should rephrase as, "Monochrome system tray icon theme is defaulted to when desktop environment uses a dark theme." At least on Ubuntu and MacOS most apps I use have monochrome icons when desktop is set to a dark theme. It would make Element stand out like a sore thumb if it used colored icons by default on dark Ubuntu/MacOS themes. Not sure about Windows.
