Change the Synergy notification icon?

I use Synergy to sync mouse and keyboard between desktops.

My question is, how do I change the Synergy indicator icons in Unity?

For reference, I am using the Faenza icon theme, and this is what my indicator bar looks like in Unity: current unity panel http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17323455/images/synergy-icon/old-panel.png

I have made Faenza styled replacements for the three icon states of Synergy.

I have tried:

• Naming the icons synergy-connected, synergy-disconnected and warning respectively. I got these names from the icons used in Synergy's source files
• Resizing icons (to 16, 22, 24 and 32) and placing them in /usr/share/icons/Faenza/status/XX
  • replace XX with icon resolution
• Placing the svg's in /usr/share/icons/Faenza/scalable
• The above two points, but instead in the Faenza Dark folder
• Add the svg's in ~/.icons

Thoughts:
I have thought of adding the custom icons to the source, compiling said source and installing... But that would defeat the purpose of icon themes and in the future I would want to use different icons with different icon themes without the hassle of compiling source each time; I don't think it is within the scope of this problem to consider compiling from source with custom icons.
