          Also, being able to choose a custom icon for tray items like Discord would be nice.

Allow overriding of SNI icons
37b0896 
This adds a config option to override the name of the icons displayed.
This also removes the frankenstein monster of the icon location
querying, which was a giant mess and not even remotely close to being
compliant with the XDG spec. Instead we use the much simpler Gtk API
which has the added benefit of properly supporting themes.

The SNI filter also now work for items without a set tooltip (e.g. steam).
For these items the object name is matched instead.

Implements #63

gBar now respects which icon theme is used by the system. Some items still don't use them though (most notably discord). For those the icon needs to be manually set with SNIIconName.

Nice! Could you also make it possible to set it to a fonticon/text (given that's what I use for all the other icons)?

You can either directly download the icon as svg (if supported, e.g. for material icons you can) or extract it from the font directly. Then you can paste them into ~/.local/share/icons/ or /usr/share/icons/ with a unique name and then use that as SNIIconName. Or you can convert them to png using e.g. gimp and use that.
