Create more emblems

I would like to draw my own set of emblems to expand the existing set with. How do I do that? I handle Inkscape fine. But what do I do with the images after that?

I would also like to make the panels a tad darker. They sting my eyes in the night. The theme is good, but the nuance is a bit bright.

Re: Create more emblems

You can put other images in the emblems folders of the icon theme. The panel color can be adjusted in Xfce 4.8 from the panel preferences and with some gtkrc-2.0 theming in Xfce 4.6.

I found several emblem folders. The one that best fits what I can see in properties is: /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/emblems/. I am not using Gnome, but XFCE. And I'd prefer to use svg instead of png if that's possible. There is a directory for scalable icons as well. But several directories for various resolutions. Is there one specific that is the proper one?

4.8 is discussed in the Slackware forum, but there is yet some time before I am going to be using it. I'll see what I can do with gtkrc.

For 4.6:

style "xfce4-panel"
{
font_name="LucidaMacBold 8"
#bg[NORMAL] = "##d2d2d"
#bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panelbg.png"
#fg[NORMAL] = "#ff0000"
#text[NORMAL] = "#bfbfbf"
#fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}

widget "*Xfce*Panel*" style "xfce4-panel"

Re: Create more emblems

The icon folder depends on which theme you have selected in the appearance settings.
