Icons
Hi all, I'am giving a face-lift to some of the icons including the ones in the setting manager because I think they are outdated. I already have created some icons but I am not able figure out what file should I modify to make the new icon show in the setting manager dialog box. I changed the icon path in some of the applications files in the Application folder but that didn;t change the icons in the setting manager. It changes them in the menu list but this is not what I want. Could anyone help me out here?

The icons themselves are installed into the hicolor icon theme by the packages that provide these plugins. For example, the package xfce-mcs-plugins (or xfce4-mcs-plugins) installs the following icons into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/(scalable|48x48)/apps: xfce-filemanager.(svg|png) xfce4-display.(svg|png) xfce4-keyboard.(svg|png) xfce4-mouse.(svg|png) xfce4-ui.(svg|png) Note that you might need to restart the xfce-mcs-manager process (or simply log out and back in) to see the changes in the settings manager UI after modifying these files. You might also want to offer your new-and-improved icons to be included upstream before substituting them locally in the Xubuntu packages. The xfce4-dev list [1] would probably be the right place for this.

I also looked at the /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps directory. In this, some of the icons are the same as in the setting manager but some different (for instance the xfce4-display). Just to try what happens, I replaced the calendar icon in this directory with my own but the setting manager still shows the old icon.

Jmak Hi again, Are you sure your current icon theme doesn't override the icons installed by the packages? Tango, for example, provides symlinked substitute icons for most of these, including the orage/xfcalendar icon you mentioned, xfcalendar.(png|svg). Look in the 48x48/apps and scalable/apps directories of your current theme and it's fallbacks to see if they provide these icons. If all you want is to see your new icons in action after you've placed them in hicolor, you can simply switch to the rodent icon theme provided by Xfce (it should be available, at least if you're running Xubuntu Edgy, don't know about Feisty) or hicolor so the default icons will be picked up. And I tested, no need to restart xfce-mcs-manager, just change the icon theme. - - Jari -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFsV6OX3kJV2WDScIRAojqAJ94TQqLlDnHJtu9wY8dlyBr4yj4+ACdEyQJ mXOWbDhNRd0ZqY1cJ9ud9SQ= =jV/K -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

But I am unable to find the printer icon, which is a rodent style icon, completely outdated and stylistically speaking doesn't fit in with the the rest of the icons. That one we have to replace because it stick out so badly that hurts. I modified the tango printer icon to go with the other icons, now we just have to find where the original icon that we have to replace. There is one in the rodent directory, I replaced that icon thinking that this was the one the setting manager points to but nothing happened. After I went through all the directories searching for the original printer and the panel icons, but no luck. If anyone could help me to locate the source icons it would be great. I had a bit of success identifying the Panel manager icon and I already modified that one. Look at the attachments. This is the kind of panel icon I want in the setting manager as well. The other attachment goes in a separate mail because it keep bouncing.

Re: Icons
+1. Looks good. However, I have a request to make. It is really hard to get the big picture when we only see small bits and pieces here and there. I think it would be helpful for everyone if you created your image and then we could critique it all at once instead of bits and pieces. Sometime I think we don't get what you're trying to do because we can't see where it fits into the big picture. :) I know you're just asking for help here but this is something I've been meaning to mention to you. Thanks a bunch and keep up the awesome work, Cody A.W.
