Added a new Meson feature option appindicator (default auto) so this backend is explicitly controllable.
Updated GTK Meson logic to honor -Dappindicator=... and fail fast if enabled is requested but neither ayatana-appindicator3-0.1 nor appindicator3-0.1 is found (prevents silently shipping a build without AppIndicator tray support).
Updated AppImage CI configure flags to force -Dappindicator=enabled, which should prevent AppImage artifacts from lacking StatusNotifier/AppIndicator tray support in XFCE-like environments.
Updated the Win32 WM_COPYDATA handler to recognize that toggle command and perform minimize/restore behavior:
visible window → iconify
hidden window → show/present
while preserving existing behavior for normal remote commands.
Added a Help menu _Update entry with a dedicated zc-menu-update icon constant, so Windows builds can display an appropriate update icon in the Help menu.
Extended icon mapping/fallback logic so emoji/update icons resolve correctly across stock/icon-name paths (zc-menu-emoji, zc-menu-update) including GTK2 stock fallback compatibility.
Added zc-menu-emoji to the input entry fallback icon list so the emoji affordance has a deterministic built-in fallback when theme emoji icons are missing.
Added new update and emoji icon assets in both SVG and PNG for light/dark variants, and registered the PNG resources in the gresource manifest for runtime loading.
Updated the GResource manifest so all menu icons now come from data/icons/menu/{light,dark} PNG files and are embedded with to-pixdata preprocessing, ensuring the app uses one unified internal icon set across platforms.
Generated and added PNG assets for both light and dark menu icon variants under data/icons/menu/ to back the new resource paths used by the GTK menu code.
Fixed menu icon resource detection to fall back from PNG to SVG when probing zc-menu-* entries, so menu item icon lookup no longer fails just because one format is unavailable at runtime.
Updated GTK menu icon loading to use gdk_pixbuf_new_from_resource (instead of ..._at_scale) and added explicit fallback order across variant/light and PNG/SVG resources, which addresses the “red no-entry square” missing-icon behavior you reported.
Kept compatibility with your previous menu resource setup while making loading more resilient on Win32 and other environments where resource/pixbuf behavior differs.
Updated the GTK2 channel list context-menu icon path to use the same helper, removing direct gtk_image_new_from_stock usage for menu icons.
Updated the GTK2 spell-entry popup icon path to use gtkutil_image_new_from_stock, aligning it with the same menu icon set/mapping pipeline used elsewhere (data/icons/menu).
Added a new icon-name→zc-menu-* mapping helper and wired it into gtkutil_image_new_from_stock() as a fallback path for GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, after the existing stock-name mapping.
checking whether a matching zc-menu-* resource exists,
preserving support for absolute file paths and <config>/... relative icon paths,
mapping plain icon names (for example, copy) to zc-menu-copy when available.
Updated menu_quick_item() to use the new resolver (menu_icon_widget_new) for all icon-bearing quick/popup menu entries, making icon rendering behavior consistent across platforms.
Updated the GTK2 (!HAVE_GTK3) code path in gtkutil_image_new_from_stock to first try the bundled zc-menu-* SVG resource icons and only fall back to GTK stock icons if a bundled icon cannot be loaded.
Updated search controls in the main UI to use zc-menu-previous / zc-menu-next and to load through gtkutil_image_new_from_stock(...), so those menu-sized icons are rendered from the same data/icons/menu resources instead of theme-dependent icon names.
Updated URL Grabber and Raw Log “Save As” icon constants to use zc-menu-save-as for consistency with the menu icon set.
Added new menu SVGs (save-as, previous, next) in both light and dark variants, and registered all of them in the GResource manifest so they’re available cross-platform from the bundled resource system.
Unified plugin manager action icons to use zc-menu-load-plugin, zc-menu-delete, and zc-menu-refresh across platforms.
Unified channel list action icons to only use the zc-menu-* icon names (join/copy/find/refresh/save), matching data/icons/menu usage.
Unified spell-entry menu action icons to only use zc-menu-add, zc-menu-remove, and zc-menu-spell-check.
Standardized the main menu icon identifiers to the zc-menu-* set (the icon set backed by data/icons/menu) across builds, instead of splitting between custom IDs and GTK stock IDs.
Updated create_icon_menu() to use the same stock-to-image helper for stock-backed menu entries, so all menu icons follow the same resolution logic.
Added a non-GTK3 compatibility mapper that converts zc-menu-* icon IDs to GTK stock names before calling gtk_image_new_from_stock, keeping behavior consistent on older GTK platforms while still using the unified zc-menu-* identifiers in menu definitions.
Unified main menubar icon creation to the same helper in create_icon_menu, removing the separate/duplicated icon-mapping and platform-specific loading logic from menu.c.
Updated channel list popup menu icon creation to pass the original icon ID directly into the shared loader, so those menu items use the same icon pipeline and set as other menus (data/icons/menu).
Updated menu construction paths to resolve both zc-menu-* and legacy gtk-* stock names through one custom mapping before loading icons from the bundled menu icon assets, with fallback to light theme assets and then theme icon names. This affects both quick/user menus and standard icon menu items.
Updated GTK3 icon rendering paths in affected UI helpers to call gtkutil_image_new_from_stock(...), which is the path that resolves zc-menu-* resources correctly and consistently from data/icons/menu (instead of raw theme lookup).
Added new icons to the shared bundled menu icon set (light/dark) for copy, delete, add, remove, spell-check, and refresh, and registered them in the GResource manifest so they are always available at runtime.
Updated menu_quick_item() so zc-menu-* icons now fall back to the light variant if the current theme variant is unavailable, which helps avoid missing icons.
Added centralized zc-menu-* resource loading to gtkutil_image_new_from_stock() (theme-variant detection + light fallback), so menu/button icon rendering uses the same bundled source path consistently.
Added the new network-list SVG icon in both light and dark variants under data/icons/menu, so it comes from the same icon set as the rest of the menu icons.
Registered both new icon files in the compiled GResource manifest so they are available through the existing resource-loading path.
Added GTK3 forward declarations for menu_icon_theme_variant() and menu_icon_image_from_data_icons() so menu_quick_item() can call those helpers before their later definitions in the file.
Kept fallback behavior intact: if bundled icon loading fails, the code still falls back to icon-theme lookup by name.
Split menu icon loading by platform:
Windows: loads from installed share/icons/menu/<variant>/<icon>.svg.
Non-Windows: loads from embedded GResource /icons/menu/<variant>/<icon>.svg.
Removed the old per-icon fallback mapping for zc-menu-* (system icon substitutions), so menu icons stay consistent with the exact bundled icon set; non-zc-menu-* stock behavior remains unchanged.
Kept the custom resource/file loading path in place (resource SVG + installed file fallback), then layered the improved theme fallback selection after it so menu icons still resolve if resource decoding is unavailable.
Added emoji entry fallback logic: if GTK’s built-in show-emoji-icon leaves the secondary icon empty, the input box now picks the first available icon from a fallback list (face-smile-symbolic, face-smile, insert-emoticon-symbolic, insert-emoticon)

ZOITECHAT_ICON_PATH (user override env var),
current working directory + share/icons,
argv[0] directory + share/icons.
Valid directories are appended to GTK’s icon search path.
Added diagnostic logging so startup clearly reports either the selected icon path source/path or that none of the expected locations were usable, to speed up Windows missing-icon triage.
Reused/stored the computed argv[0] directory in fe_args (via win32_argv0_dir) so it can be used both for chdir and for icon fallback resolution.
The new fallback tries *.svg first, then *.png, so if resources aren’t available at runtime but files were installed, menu icons still render.
After that, the existing icon-name fallback chain still runs (custom_fallback_icon → stock mapping → stock name), so non-file-based fallback behavior is preserved.
I also fixed Windows packaging to include what the SVG path needs at runtime: librsvg DLLs, gdk-pixbuf loader modules, and loaders.cache in the release bundle.
Kept the existing preferred behavior intact: load bundled SVG menu icons from GResource first (light/dark variant), and only use fallback icon names when those resources are unavailable.
Updated GTK3 tray menu icon constants for Preferences/Quit to use bundled zc-menu-* icon names, fixing theme-missing icon issues in Windows menu/dropdown contexts.
Initialized each new channel row with PANGO_UNDERLINE_NONE so only the active channel gets emphasized.
Updated tree selection handling to remove underline from the previously focused row and apply PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE to the newly selected row, creating a clear “currently viewed channel” indicator.
Bound the channel name renderer’s underline property to the new model column so underline changes are reflected immediately in the channel list UI.
Removed Adwaita icon bundle copy rules from the Windows packaging project (copy.vcxproj), so share/icons/Adwaita is no longer pulled into Windows build artifacts.
Removed Adwaita icon inclusion from the Windows installer manifest (zoitechat.iss.tt), so installer builds no longer ship Adwaita icon files.
Updated menu construction callsites in the main menu paths (top-level, submenus, nick/url/channel context menus) to use menu_new(), so the spacing fix applies broadly across menus instead of only one location.
Committed the change on the current branch (976970f) and created a PR record via the make_pr tool.
Added a Win32 icon-theme setup helper that appends bundled share/icons to GtkIconTheme search paths and forces Adwaita when available, so the emoji chooser’s category/menu symbolic icons resolve instead of showing placeholder squares.
Invoked the new Win32 icon-theme configuration immediately after gtk_init() so it applies before UI usage, including the emoji chooser popover created from entries.
updated the input entry creation to stop creating a separate emoji button, and instead enable GTK’s built-in emoji menu icon with show-emoji-icon on GTK3+ builds only (no GTK2 fallback path).
Preserved the previous idle-batched behavior for users who are not at the bottom (scrolling history), so performance-friendly deferred redraws still apply in that case.
I also kept the existing correctness behavior: when indent does materially change, it still fixes/recalculates and updates ent->indent/force_render as before.
sets gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme when that GtkSettings property exists, and
applies an app-level GtkCssProvider with dark/light fallback classes (zoitechat-dark / zoitechat-light) to keep non-chat widgets aligned with mode changes.
Updated the shared theme apply path so fe_apply_theme_for_mode() still applies the palette layer (palette_apply_dark_mode) and now also applies the Windows GTK layer, ensuring auto/manual modes flow through one path.
Extended toplevel theme application to add/remove the new dark/light CSS classes on Windows GTK3 windows, while preserving native titlebar dark-mode handling.
Made AUTO mode resolve from the cached auto_dark_mode_enabled state, and initialized that state in fe_init() before the first fe_apply_theme_for_mode() call so initial and subsequent behavior are consistent.
Added a unified theme application pipeline via fe_apply_theme_for_mode() and fe_apply_theme_to_toplevel(), and routed auto-mode refresh logic through it so palette + GTK input styling are applied consistently from one place.
Switched startup and settings-apply flows to use the unified theming function, replacing direct palette-only calls so system-mode detection → theme apply is consistent across initialization and preferences changes.
Applied native titlebar updates when top-level windows are shown and during setup reapply across open sessions, and wired Windows builds to link dwmapi in both Meson and MSVC project files.
Updated the Inno Setup installer file list to install share\glib-2.0\schemas\* into {app}\share\glib-2.0\schemas under the libs component, so installed builds also ship required schema data.
Updated gtkutil_file_req_response() so only GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT runs the file-selection path; all non-accept responses now immediately destroy the dialog via the callback’s dialog pointer, avoiding chooser access on cancel paths.
Kept native chooser handling aligned with that behavior: chooser reads are still gated behind GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, while cleanup remains a single unref path deferred to idle to avoid teardown-in-signal-stack issues on Windows.
Updated menu_setting_foreach() to safely handle sessions where menu_item[id] is still NULL by storing it in a local pointer and only toggling check state when it exists. This avoids GTK/GLib criticals during layout/menu synchronization paths while preserving normal behavior for initialized menu items.
Fixed the a few dialog box layout so the scrolled keybindings list expands to fill available vertical space in the window. It now packs the scroller into the parent GtkBox with expand/fill enabled (gtk_box_pack_start(..., TRUE, TRUE, 0)) instead of adding it as a generic container child. This allows the window height to be fully utilized.
