Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

thx systemx...that worked a treat, all icons have now changed except the file manager one...

now all i need to do is get the nav buttons like in rox to use the icons...

hmmm. good question? in theory they should have changed when you selected gant as yr icon theme.

some gtk2 themes "older ones" uses iconrc files to define which stock icons to use. if you are using such a gtk2 theme, it may be preventing gant's stock icons from being loaded.

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

my user interface properties theme was set to Xfce Smooth if that helps

changed it to clearlooks and all is well...

seems if i use any theme starting with Xfce then it defaults to the original icons...

thx m8

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

I notice that xfce4 svn introduced some new session manager icons, the so-called xfsm- icons.   These are displayed on the Log Out/Restart/Shutdown buttons when you exit your session.  The gant/gnant packages only have xfsm-shutdown, so there's no icon displayed now on Log Out and Restart.  (This is a very recent change).

All we would need are additional symlinks to xfsm-logout.png and xfsm-reboot.png against existing icons.    I don't know what was used before, but I will check.

EDIT:  I made these changes for now:

cd /usr/share/icons/Gant.Xfce/32x32/xfce
mv xfsm-shutdown.png xfsm-logout.png
mv xfce-system-exit.png xfsm-shutdown.png
cp xfsm-logout.png xfce-system-exit.png
cp xfce-utils.png xfsm-reboot.png

making the session exit dialog look like this:

http://home.comcast.net/~phibby/xfce-session-exit.png

which seems reasonable.    (I did this for all the icon size directories 16x16, 24x24, etc.)

Looks like we also need gnant icons for 'xfce4-session' and 'xfce-autostart-editor' ---
and -- I now see no icons at all on the Xfce Settings Manager dialog....

here is the version i'm using - download

it's still got some loose icons around that need cleaning up, but it should work for the time being.

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

Super.   I installed 3-9.1 and it solves that problem, as well as filling in a few more gaps
like Settings Manager, Preferred Applicatioins, etc.

Thanks much.

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

you need to install the gnone set. The xfce set inherits icons from it...

that link is to gargantuan.  does that need to be installed also?   if so, wouldn't
the Gant.Xfce/index.theme need a reference to it?

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox
