Did you log out & back after changing the icon? Some programs load the icons etc when they are started, and don't detect if you change to a different theme (or edit the theme) after that unless you restart the program. (And logging out and back is the easiest way to do that for all programs).
It still didn't work.
In my earlier post I pointed you to a thread ..
you might have missed this link in the thread
http://rafalcieslak.wordpress.com/20...dicator-color/
it explains how to edit *.svg format icons using an svg editor Inkscape
gksudo inkscape /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light/status/22/indicator-messages-new.svg
Does this answer your question?
It didn't work, so I'm going to post exactly what I did.
1. I created a 16x16 image in inkscape and named it audio-volume-high.
2. Imoved it into /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/16 relogged in, then tried changing the volume through fn-f12
3. It didn't work, so I put audio-volume-high.svg in .../status/22 and .../status/24 too, relogged in, and tried again. It still didn't work.
Do I need to put the audio-volume-high in the themes ubuntu-mono-dark inherits from as well?
no, definitely not. You never need to change any of the inherited themes. That would be the exact opposite of what the inheritance is used for. Like I've already said, the inheritance is only used if the theme itself doesn't have a particular icon.
Anyway, I think your problem is that you are using wrong icon name & location. After taking a look through some icon themes, I'm quite sure the names used for the volume notification popups are "status/scalable/notification-audio-volume-high", "status/scalable/notification-audio-volume-low" and so on. (I might be wrong, though, finding out the correct name each application uses for it's icons can be quite tricky. As you have probably noticed most themes have quite many copies of each icon linked to different names )
