I've applied the Oxygen icon theme which changes the icon theme when 
selecting 'Leave' to the coloured icons, but it does not change the row 
of icons at the bottom of the launcher (the row that contains 'Leave', 
'Application' etc), is it not possible to change these? I have also 
found that Fedora is exactly the same with the oxygen theme.
