Firewall applet icon doesn't show up in the system tray

[toni500]

hello again,
basically the icon for firewall-applet is invisible on the xfce system tray but even on DWM (systray patch) and i3wm. when launching from the terminal i get

[toni@arch2 ~]$ firewall-applet        
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set

Have you seen this yet?

How to install firewalld tray applet?

I have installed and configured firewalld but I dont see a tray icon. How do I enable that ? I followed this wiki >> Click here I cant find any package called tray applet in the repos or in Aur. https://paste2.org/Ow0PKxMM This is official doc for the applet >> Click here [applet] That’s how the applet looks like. Found via Google images. How to install & enable firewalld tray applet ?

oh, i see. I didn’t set the Qt5 icon theme, but was trying to change the GTK one. so had to launch qt5ct and select the icon theme and now it shows up, i forgot gtk and qt had different themes set
thanks @thefrog btw
