Force gnome icons in openbox

What should happen:
Openbox comes up, generic gnome icon theme is used, and it stays that way.
What actually happens:
Openbox comes up, generic gnome icon theme is used, then after using certain applications a no-brand-name icon theme is used.
How can I force gnome icons to stay the default?
Edit: I believe it has something to do with a ~/gtkrc-2.0 file, of which I do not have.

Openbox - Gnome-icons wont change anymore... Reason: Gnome update?

I recently upgraded all my packages and among them was a new Gnome-build. I decided to actually check how Gnome looks in the new version and installed 'gnome' and 'gnome-extra' from the repositories.
Now after rebooting my computer the icon theme I have specified in ~/.gtkrc.mine does not work anymore (Crashbit, if you wanna know). This is pretty weird, as for instance the default 'Tango' theme doesn't work either - only the, say, functional Gnome icon theme is displayed.
Anyone with similar issues?
I have no clue about how to fix this...
EDIT: So I just started a gnome-Session and edited the theme via the 'Appearance manager' (heck do I know how it's called....) and chose Crashbit- and see! For some reason the icon theme in my openbox-session changed too... Now this is rather odd, as ~/.gtkrc-2.0 says that ~/.gtkrc.mine is supposed to be imported, and that one states "Tango" as a theme.
I suppose that the information about which icons to use is stored someplace else (damn I am smart!). Any ideas?

mean?
Icu was upgraded from 0.50 to 0.51.1 , you probably have packages (could be from AUR) that are build against the old icu version and need to be rebuild.

Force Help Icon Next to Item

APEX 4.2.5
Oracle 11g
Theme: 25 (Blue Responsive)
Sometimes the help icon is displayed below the item and not to the right of the item so I have extra lines in the form. Is there a way using CSS or Grid Layout to force the help icon to be always to the right of the item?
Thank you,
Robert

fac586,
I created the application on APEX.ORACLE.COM.
Workspace: RGWORK
Application: 87654 PONYA
User: tester
Password: test98
Menu only has one option (Update/View Tenants). Click the option. It will go to Page 3.
Page: 3
If you notice in Primary Contact, the help icon for Telephone is below Telephone. I noticed that when I make the screen smaller (shift+ mouse button down), the icon goes below other fields. Is there a way to force the icon to be at the right of the field? There seems to be room available.

Legacy GNOME icons

Hi,
is there a way to use old classic GNOME icon theme 2.14? I've downloaded it from GNOME FTP and installed, but since this theme was used the approach to icon display changed (no icons for particular file types, icons grouped into office, text etc).
I've posted the problem long time ago http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56743, but there is more to do.
Even if I try to manually copy the icons from GNOME 2.14 for example to Tango theme, there would be problem, because there is no mapping to some icons that were used in 2.14.
How to manage this?

blank icons, theme not working [saying problem with Metacity] gnome-terminal doesn't show the menus etc..
it also says problem with gnome-settings-daemon
I have mouse speed problems and keyboard problems [don't do the repeated [have to press to time BACKSPACE to delete 2 letters instead of just holding for a while..]
i hope that this get fixed soon, because it's irritating
good luck anyways

Re-add Gnome Icon to fallback mode "Applications" menu

Hello,
I'm trying to re-add the gnome icon to the fallback mode "Applications" menu. Currently, the menu only has "Applications" with no gnome foot to the left of it (like how gnome 2 was laid out):
Can anyone suggest how to re-add this icon? I've looked through my theme files but can't seem to find anything relating to the applications menu.
Thanks!

It's a bug in gnome-themes-standard:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687314
Until it is not fixed, you have the following options:
- Revert the patch and rebuild gnome-themes-standard.
- Downgrade to gnome-themes-standard 3.6.0.
- Switch to another GTK+ theme.

[SOLVED] Xfce4 notification area & gnome icons

I have in notification area loaded gnome icons for sound and bluetooth and it's look like that:
http://tinypic.com/r/2nvwab4/6
I tried change the icon style in gnome-tweak-tool reload X several times but I'm still seeing ugly black icons and I have no idea how to fix it.
Have any of you same problem? Or even better solution for it?

When I switched from gnome to xfce, I replaced the sound menu with volumeicon and pavucontrol. As for bluetooth, I use bluemon now.

Gnome-screensaver in openbox

I just switched from gnome back to openbox, but I'd like to keep using gnome-screensaver. I've searched the forums and see people just recommending others in my position to use xscreensaver, but that's not what I want. xlockmore has much more than I need, and slock is painfully slow to unlock and turn my screen back on. I like how gnome-screensaver works in gnome, and I like the ctrl alt L command. Is there anyone here that has this setup?
/edit
Can a mod move this to Desktop Environments, I must have forgotten how to read.

As I understand it, if you want to use gnome-screensaver, you need to load gnome-settings-daemon and perhaps gnome-settings-daemon-helper
I don't have an Arch box around to test, but I believe this will go ahead and load Nautilus on you as well, which will draw the desktop and handle your background, fonts, gtk, etc. I've read you're able to turn this behaviour off with gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false
The screensaver config dialog is started with the command gnome-screensaver-preferences

Change application's icons in Openbox

Hi,
I'm trying to change the icons of some common applications since three hours now. I set the icon-theme using lxappearance. It works for system icons like folders or different filetypes. But I remember, that the icons of applications like firefox or thunderbird changed too when i used one of the nuoveXT icon themes.
Is there a way to tell openbox and tint2 to use the themes icons?

lxappearance controls the GTK settings. You just set the gtk icon-theme. Openbox does not have any bindings to GTK. I'm not sure which icons you are refering to, do you mean the icons in the menu you get when middle-clicking on the desktop? Or do you mean the icons in the applications themselves?
Applications get to set their own icon. Many programs will use a function call that makes sure it gets the icon from the users icon-theme, or a default icon in case it doesn't exist. However, the Mozilla programs don't use this function, they just select a fixed icon.
Then there is WM-specific menus. Openbox does not support icons in the "right-click" menu, but in the "middle-click" menu it will just grab whatever icon the program set for itself. Other WMs do it differnetly, GNOME for example: Its menus display .desktop files located at /usr/share/applications, and those .desktop files can specify an icon name that will be looked up in the users icon-theme. That explains how your icon theme affected the icon shown in the GNOME menu (assuming that's what you used to use) but not the icon in the panel or in the window title.

Black screen gnome and kde, openbox fine

I installed the testing xorg a month or so back and it naturally broke my system (i use ati and fglrx). I downgraded the relevant packages and am no longer using the testing rep, but now gdm comes up fine, but logging into gnome or kde4-mod just gives me a black screen with working mouse. Openbox works fine however, i've been using that but would like to see how kde4 has progressed. Any ideas? Couldn't find anything by searching.

Anyone know what this relates to?
from xorg log:
(EE) fglrx(0): === [swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetMode$
(EE) fglrx(0): === [swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetMode$
$etModeTimingOverride failed: 2
I'm sure I had that error before anyway. This black screen is killing me...it teases by showing the loading icons for 10 seconds[kde4] then just black.

Gnome-settings-daemon + gnome 3.2 + openbox

After gnome 3.2 upgrade, I can't run gnome-settings-daemon by itself anymore.
I used to use it with openbox, mainly for getting themes loaded (which I am achieving with
settings.ini now), but more important, to get my fn shortcuts working in my laptop.
Any ideas are welcome.

Seems to work for me (I'm using Openbox standalone). Started with:
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
I was trying just:
/usr/lib/gnome-settings/daemon
Works now.
Mad Fish wrote:Also, you can live without it. You can use xsettingsd for themes/icons/fonts configuration, feh for desktop background, and assign hotkeys in obconf for media keys. That's what works for me.
I already used feh. It does the job just fine.
I found xsettingsd in AUR. I'm going to give it a try.
About hotkeys in obconf, I didn't find such option.
Thanks.

Now my icons in GDM and GNOME are missing. The icons in the top panel are not monochrome anymore and the Shell Overview and Web are missing all their icons. Plus they are crashing repeadedly.
Is it possible that this has something to do with the old kernel? Or is this another problem? What does the line

mean?

Icu was upgraded from 0.50 to 0.51.1 , you probably have packages (could be from AUR) that are build against the old icu version and need to be rebuild.

for cmd window -- the easiest way would be to change your *.bat or *.cmd to *.exe -- write a few-lines C/C++ that has a line
system("java MyApplication [params]"); -- that would eliminate cmd prompt.
for the icon - you definitely have to use exe or dll - the icons are Win-dependent packaging and *.cmd won't do it.
Look into packaging tools, ie WinInstall, InstallAnywhere.

Unable to install new gnome icons.

For some reason I'm unable to install new icon themes in gnome. I download the tar file and extract it to the .icons folder, but when I go to the "customize theme" settings it doesn't have the new icons... This is the same way that I've installed new icons with every other distro, but for some reason it's not working here... Have I missed something?

Maybe check out AUR for some icon themes?
Umm .. Creating PKGBUILD could fix a *broken* theme ?
No, but if you use PKGBUILD you wouldn't end up with a broken package.
@OP
Can you please post a link to the icon theme you are trying to use?

You might want to rather just drag 'n' drop the tarball into the Customize Theme window and let it do all the work for you.
Some lazy people do ignore the packaging rules and provide broken icon packages, so just extracting the contents to .icons might not be enough. The real icons folder might be a sub-folder in the tar archive's root or something like that, and you need to cp that folder into .icons.
I've tried the drag 'n drop method as well, but when I drag my tarball in to the customize theme window, it doesn't stick, it just goes right back into the downloads folder.

Gnome icons problem

Hello,
I've recently installed Arch on my new laptop. I'm using gnome. I can't see the icon of Eclipse in 'Applications' menu. It's not a serious problem for me, but i like, when my Arch works perfect.
Today I've installed some KDE apps (from official repo) and I can't see icons at all. No icons in gnome menu, no icons in toolbars and menus.
I think there's a problem with default paths for icons in gnome. I have this problem on two computers (on both Arch was installed in last week).
Edit:
Eclipse: Icon path in eclipse.desktop is /usr/share/eclipse/icon.xpm - there's no such file.
After installing kdebase-runtime I can see icons in toolbars and menus (and applications looks better). It's interesting, that kdebase-runtime is not required by some KDE packages (for example kdegames ).
I'm still working on icons in Gnome menu.

All those problems should be solved by the upcoming KDE 4.1.2.
but is the missing eclipse button really a kde related issue? (i´m using gnome)
btw. some other icons such as the one for vidalia (gui for controlling tor) are missing too

[SOLVED]Gnome icon themes - folder icons

I think it belongs here.
I made some folder icons for retrofukation icons theme and tried to apply them as documents, music etc. folder icons, but did not succeed. Then I thought the theme was written wrong, and tried to apply 100% working (in that u-distro) Humanity theme, but with the same effect.
Then I updated the system, but nothing happened.
Then I googled for a while, but found nothing worth reading - maybe because of bad search query...
Anyway, does anyone know how to make 'places' icons work?
//I run a standalone wm and use lxappearance. When I downloaded and tried gnome-control-center, it did not help as well.
P.S. The icons:

Yes, that works just fine, thank you! xdg-user-dirs was not installed, because I did not install the whole gnome. I installed it and updated the directories (xdg-user-dirs-update) and now the icons look just like I want.
But I have a couple of folders (like ~/Distros or ~/Source) for which I would like to set custom icons too.
So I have ~/.icons/retrofukation/scaled/places/folder-source.png and ~/Source directory. Any chance to set an icon for it?
