You know what? Sylpheed is not using any compatible icon theme, it 
uses its own, and that's awful. Also Claws, that is able to change 
themes but doesn't care of your favourite themes installed in your 
.icons folder. So what for theming if they both are unable to be 
standard enough?


Firefox can use themes, personas, change icons or just respect the 
theme you're using. That's what a GTK app does.

Re: Box icon theme for Claws Mail and Sylpheed?

[Rafael Laguna]

In fact, Sylpheed-Claws was already a fork, and then its development
stopped and reborn as Claws Mail, that was another fork. But it does not
make it less suitable for use :)

About the standard theme, it's a bit stupid. There're name conventions for
every action in the desktop. Mail apps are fully covered. You just need to
see Evolution in action. It has a lot  of icons and all of them are taken
from your gtk theme.

But don't worry, we'll post any vote or decision here, because we all are
the community and we all have voice.

Thanks for the info, anyway ;)

We already voted about a change of the default mail client. In fact, I
proposed Claws, but have in consideration that Claws is a fork of a fork,
so deep that we barely can't follow their packages evolution. We could use
it, but we need to consider lots of things to include it in Lubuntu
(easyness of use, look, continuity, accessible community, active
development, etc),

Re: Box Icon Theme

[Rafael Laguna]

The reason to use SVG format is to keep Box as open as possible, so
everybody can modify or expand. LXDE, thanks to its Cairo libs, doesn't
matter if file format is SVG or PNG, in fact the speed measures made a few
time ago reveals that they're almost the same (SVG must be rendered, yes,
but PNG must be recoloured and dithered, CPU work anyway).

So, if you want to expand the Box set, feel free to, first, read the guide
(which you already watched) and theb use these templates as a base:

app16: http://ubuntuone.com/3WKdqFeGb5idrHalkURky7
app22: http://ubuntuone.com/7TAiP1tiEbrxNq5TPLX7la
app24: http://ubuntuone.com/6Tk5RtQnZOwxgX8rmyakBO
app48: http://ubuntuone.com/0BxP8Ga14x9ifKCAipzVlg
app64: http://ubuntuone.com/1UzjbJBsmG2aTTVYIxpmsM

doc22: http://ubuntuone.com/01CA6WRLuKjHJwaQSJvd9g
doc24: http://ubuntuone.com/0C9sQtrE0dLIJng8yjtkkv
doc48: http://ubuntuone.com/3M94HZVD4GLHSUqo5U2zrz

You can send to me the icons and I'll recompress and include in the branch.

Cheers!

Ok, thanks for the insight.  I have yet to get in to Java, though once I
am fully comfortable and familiar with the languages I am currently
pursuing, I may move to using Java a bit too... it seems much of the
syntax is very similar to C++ (and JavaScript), though each language has
its quirks.  I will try to remember that about svg.  It seems strange
that Java can't support svg.  There might be some sort of library for
supporting svg, because Android uses Java, and it seems like there must
be support for it, as some apps can create (and display) svg on
android... but maybe Android allows apps to be programmed in many
languages, and those apps are not Java.
Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your experience and wisdom, it

Java (a different language from JavaScript) cannot directly support

Java's Swing (and AWT) GUI.  I don't know if the same is true for Spring.


I didn't know that about Java, that seems really unfortunate as SVG's
are great (they are vector based so the do not become pixelated).  I am
not sure exactly what you are saying by your e-mail, though...  Are you
saying the box icon theme should also have png files, or are you saying

Israel:

I was merely pointing out something surprising that I learned.

In attempting to display icons in a Java Swing application of installed 
components, though most of the component had '.png' icons, some of them 
had '.svg' icons.  The '.svg' icons could not be displayed by the 
application, but the '.png' icons were displayed properly.  Fortunately, 
most of the icons were '.png'.


In spite of the virtues of '.svg' icons you were pointing out, like with 
so many things, there is a down-side, and the down-side here is 
something few of you would likely be aware of.

appropriate if Rafael submitted it, since he is the resident artist :)

Israel:

Java (a different language from JavaScript) cannot directly support 
'.svg' graphics.  The '.jpg' and '.png' work fine.  This is true for 
Java's Swing (and AWT) GUI.  I don't know if the same is true for Spring.

Re: Box Icon Theme

[Israel]

Yeah I really like SVG graphics  I looked into the Lubuntu icons
folder and saw that they are all svg files, so apparently LXDE does
indeed support svg.  SVG has a lot of other great uses, like the web,
and integrating JavaScript directly into the SVG.  If you like SVG art,
you should check out OpenClipArt.org
It might be worth submitting the icon set (once it is finished) to Open
Clip Art as long as it can be released as public domain.
I also might submit a Template, though I think it would be more
appropriate if Rafael submitted it, since he is the resident artist :)

I'm using an SVG file as icon on my "Lubuntu Start" button. Something good
about SVG is that you probably won't need to worry about size, since it's
vetorial..
