GTK2 Icon Theme

I'm trying to get GTK2 to use the icon theme for it's _NET_WM_ICONs, but they simply refuse to. GTK3 works fine. Qt works fine. GTK2 uses the Moka icon theme. Nonetheless, the application sets the _NET_WM_ICON to the default icon. Is it because I do not have XDG_DATA_DIRS set? What actually sets that environment variable?

Just tested with stock kernel, and no...so this may be ck kernel related?

[SOLVED] [Openbox] Icon-theme not working(?)

Hi!
I hope you guys could help me with the following problem.
Currently I'm running Openbox, compton, tint2, gtk2/3 on my Arch-system.
The problem I'm having right now is that tint2 tray icons are not showing Faenza-Dark but showing gnome(?) dark icons. I would like to have white/grey icons instead of dark ones!
My tint2 config:

Thanks for posts!
I have done all the steps, but real key was to reboot the system! Even pkill X didn't work. It's now solved.
To give users with the same issue a solution:
- Set icon-theme with lxappearance
- Be sure that gtk3.0/settings.ini has fallback and icon-theme the same value (not know if it really needed)
- Reboot! pkill X didn't work for me.
Thanks again.

GTK2 icon switching? [solved]

Hello. I've used xfce for a long while now, off and on, and I'm moving back to blackbox. Sweet. The thing is that I want to switch my GTK2 icons to the ones found here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show. … tent=26757
Very nice. I've become reliant on xfce's config utils to get this stuff done. I've used switch2 to get the GTK2 theme to work in general, but in my apps (like rox), it still shows the default icons across the top (the actual folders/file types are displayed correctly).
Any help?

That will work, but I'm interested in getting the whole icon set working, not just those widgets in rox. I'm using gperfection2 (which doesn't have an iconrc file, works perfectly under xfce4 or gnome), and I want to figure out what the option for just switching the iconset for gtk2 is.
The solution on rox' site would work, but I would have to recreate the whole thing entry by entry. Lame.
I've scoured the net, but I haven't found an answer. What entry can I put in my gtkrc file that fixes this?

XFCE icon theme confusion

I have a weird problem with my icons and XFCE. Some time ago my gedit icon in the taskbar had gone missing. After a while, I decided to erase my XFCE config and create a new and the icon was properly shown again. But during the time I configurated XFCE, it was again as a missing icon in the xfce taskbar. In the application menu the icon is shown correctly.
Furthermore, Midori shows at the position of the forward button the icon of rhythmbox's next button, but not always, just sometimes, depending on it's mood [Update: No, not depending on it's mood but if it's a shadowed or active button].
I guess my icon theme is somehow corrupted, but removing and reinstalling did not work (using 'gnome'). I also updated my icon cache without any change. If I change to another icon theme, the problem also remains.
Any suggestions?
[UPDATE] Yeah, I tried to remove my config again, but this time nothing was fixed by that.

Same issue here. Removing ~/.config doesn't help for me though.
It also effects other icons, for instance urvxt - whereas xfce4-terminal displays it correctly (both are using accessories-terminal)

Cannot use elementary icons themes after upgrading to GTK+-2.22.0 ?

Hello All,
After upgrading to GTK+-2.22.0, elementary icons look horribly wrong for some reason. I thought maybe i need to download the icons themes again (https://launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+download) so i did download the latest elementary icons and install them in ~/icons. However, the icons themes dont look the way they should look. Therefore, I am not sure what i did wrong, or if it had to do with upgrading to GTK+-2.22.0 and i am wondering if i am missing something or need to change some setting.
I am using Xface4 as my Desktop Environments.
Any help would be much appreciated.

After upgrading, almost all of my icon themes are broken, including Elementary, which is the only one I actually care about.
*EDIT*
Recent update to libpng seems to have solved it for me. They still don't display properly in the "Appearance -> Theme -> Customize... -> Icons" dialog, but they display properly in Nautilus and on the panels.

Little question about a Claws-Mail tray icon theme, and how to use it.

There is a Claws Mail tray icon theme available on gnome-look.org:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=71540
These are the instructions the author gives to install the theme:
Claws Mail Tango trayicon theme
Claws-Mail version = 3.3.0
copy icons claws-mail-3.3-0/src/pixmaps, recompile and install.
So what am I supposed to do (especially since the newest Claws Mail version is 3.4.0...)?

I would recommend using ABS. just makepkg -o first so the sources get DL'd and unpacked. copy your icons and makepkg -e so the sources are not extracted again and therefore your new icons overwitten.
finally, enjoy some awesomeness:

Icon theme not loaded correctly

Hey there,
i don't know how to fix this one, maybe a specialist in icons and icon themes know the answer: Well, im using the PNG version of Snowish icons at the moment. As you can see here http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?imag … scrmo2.png, the icons are all shown correctly but one. The backward button. It's the ugly default (gnome-icon-theme) one. How can i fix that one, or search for the problem?

Restarting Sonata and also re-login didn't work. Also it did not work to select another icon theme, and then Snowish again. I checked the folder and the file "media-seek-backward.png" is present in all sizes. It just gets not used by Sonata, so my guess it is a problem IN Sonata.
Maybe one of you knows the mysterium answer/solution.

Icon-theme changes problem[SOLVED]

I have murrine-engine, aurora-engine installed. I have installed gtk-engine-equinox and are trying to use equinox-evolution theme with Faenza icon-theme. I had a nice desktop for a couple of days. Yesterday it reverted back to the original icon-theme. Now I cannot change the icon-theme at all. I don't get it. Why is it OK one day but not the next? I have the themes in /usr/share/themes and ~/.themes. Same with icons. Same icons in both directorys. I'm running x86_64 and gnome.
OK. Had to remove all other icon-themes from ~/.themes. Why is it so?
Last edited by jai134 (2011-01-23 19:02:50)

I know how to change themes using the method you described; however, the icon theme that is displayed is tango. I clearly chose tamiga, and the rox file in ~/.config points to the tamiga icon theme. So my question is why isn't the tamiga theme being used? Does it have something to with the inherits line in the icon cofig file? Is there some other problem? Some icon themes display correctly, but not others.
Thanks for trying!

Icon theme problem

Hello. I have installed icewm, rox, gnome-icon-theme, and tango-icon-theme. I use rox filer to manage the icon the themes and desktop. The problem is that some icon themes display correctly (eg gtsand) and others don't (eg tamiga). In the case of tamiga, the tango icon theme is being used instead of the tamiga theme. Here's what I've tried:
1. installed tamiga icon theme to /usr/share/icons and ~/.icons (not at the same time)
2. checked to see that rox is using theme (~/.config/rox.soruceforge.net/ROX-Filer/options)
3. tried adding icon path to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (I don't think rox uses this)
4. tried editing the "inherits" line in the index.theme file (Inherits=Tango,gnome,hicolor). when I switched the positions of tango and gnome, the gnome icon theme was used. added Gnome and GNOME.
5. browsed the forums
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

DMZ mouse icon theme not taking on full effect

I just installed the DMZ vanilla mouse cursor theme and it is not working right. It will resort back to the default xcursor theme (the crappy black one) when i hover over the panels and background, and the title bars. I am using xfce4.4 and i got the icon theme from the aur.
thanks.

Not sure if this helps, but both versions of dmz are available in the standard repos as pre-built packages:

xcursor-vanilla-dmz-aa
No that did not solve the problem, but thanks anyway.
I tried installing this same cursor theme on my gnome arch (via virtual box) and it worked flawlessly. This makes me think that xfce4.4 is having a problem with this theme. conflict maybe??

[pcmanfm] How to deactivate no-icon-theme-message [solved]

Hello guys,
I don't need any icon theme because I use a shell in most of the cases. But as I have to use pcmanfm it always appears that annoying message. Can it be deactivated in any way?
Thank you in advance

@ Sharpsy,
that worked thank you. Haven't thought about that idea, because I wasn't sure whether it works when Tango isn't installed.
Thank you.

[PKGBUILD] icon-theme.cache is already present

Hi,
I created a PKGBUILD to test « perroquet » (http://perroquet.b219.org/index.html), it's also the mean to do my first PKGBUILD ;-) so any comments are welcome. The PKGBUILD is here : http://pastebin.com/m943685e
Unfortunately, when I want to install my package, I get this error:
$ sudo pacman -U perroquet-1.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
Mot de passe :
Chargement des données du paquet...
Vérification des dépendances...

Erreur: la préparation de la transaction a échoué (conflit de fichiers)
perroquet: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache est déjà présent dans le système de fichiers
it is in french, so to traduce roughly: « /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache is already present in the filesystem »
this file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache is in the package and in my system, what should I do ? delete the file in pre-install script ?

ok, thanks.
But I don't understand why I have this problem. Since my post someone put a PKGBUILD on AUR for perroquet and there is nothing about icon-theme.cache: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perro … t/PKGBUILD (I can't try yet, I'm at work with Fedora ;-))

[SOLVED] Key missing (faenza-icon-theme)

Hi,
When updating I encountered this message :
Erreur : faenza-icon-theme: key "F9E712E59AF5F22A" is unknown
:: Importation de la clé PGP 9AF5F22A, « Daniel Micay <[email protected]> », créée le 2012-12-06 ?
It asks to import the key.
It seems that the key is unknown, I've already refreshed the keys by
"sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys"
Is it safe to had this key ?
Is it always safe ?
Thank you in advance.

I've juste seen that archlinux-keyring needed to be updated too. Updating it before faenza-icon "solved the issue" without manually adding the key.
Thank you anyway.

[SOLVED] Compass Icon Theme

Hiya.
I came across this icon theme the other day, and I'd like to see it in the AUR so I won't have to download, remove, and replace the folder repeatedly.
Thanks in advance!! :)

Do you really need it as a package? IMO, a few lines of bash would be enough for this.

(SOLVED) tango-icon-theme-extra needed ?

Hi, there tango-icon-theme exists. I installed it on Lxde and it works fine.
However there exists tango-icon-theme-extra. Who can tell me what does this pkg do ?

In my installation it currently provides mainly ...devices/multimedia-player-... icons.
