[SOLVED] Setting Qt icon theme without KDE.

Where can I set the icon theme for QT[5] without using KDE? Is there some manual [deskop agnostic] way. E.g. Trolltech.conf, but ,if yes, what is the key?
The wiki states that "There is no way of setting the icon theme from QtConfig, but since Qt follows the Freedesktop.org Icon Specification, any theme set for X is picked up by Qt."
But how can I set the theme set for X?

Setting a GTK3 theme without Gnome-Shell?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to change the system gtk3 theme without having gnome-shell? I read on the wiki about either using gnome-tweak-tool (which depends on gnome-shell to operate) or the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file (which takes effect after gnome-shell is restarted), but I really don't want to install gnome-shell (I'm running xfce).
Simply put, is there any way at all to be able to set the gtk3 theme without having to download gnome-shell and all of it's dependencies?
Thanks!

E17 and hicolor-icon-theme

hi all
i am new to e17, and have met some problems with icons
many apps dependes on hicolor-icon-theme (such like firefox).
but it seems that e17 can not find the icons in a icon theme
(can not find firefox.png in /usr/share/icon/hicolor/48x48/apps/firefox.png)
i have searched and the google says icon theme can be choosed in [ settings > setting panel > look > icon theme ]
but there is no icon theme
so how can i use hicolor icon themes in e17 without change the icon section in .desktop file
thanks

Well I don't use the e17 packages provided by Arch, because they seem to lack a few modules that I use, but you could try to download easy_e17.sh (either get the package, or just download it from the source using google), and then compile e17 yourself straight from the source.
If you do so, you should note that the script hasn't been updated in a while, so I had to add engage manually in the e_modules_extra part of the script (and remove the modules it replaces, whose name I forgot...)
I also remember having the same trouble a long time ago, and fixing it by creating a .gtkrc-2.0 file in my home containing the following:
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
include ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser"
Obviously changing Tango to hicolor-icon-theme. Can't tell if it'll work though, I can't exactly remember why I had to do this, and it might be severely deprecated (my /home partition is quite old, as I never reformat it)
Lastly, some things can be a pain to configure through e17 settings panel, and are actually system-wide settings (not just e17 specific), so a solution would be to install the kdebase metapackage, and launch the KDE settings panel using systemsettings in the terminal. From here you can set the icon theme by going to Application Appearance -> Icons.

[SOLVED] XFCE Panel Icons

Does anyone know why my panel icons are black?
Like such: http://i.imgur.com/rhaLd.png
I haven't migrated from any other DE, this started happening after I enabled Compiz on startup(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … icon.22.29).
Any ideas on how to set them to white, or use the icon set from the Xubuntu panel?
Thanks in advance.
SOLVED: Elementary Xubuntu icon theme installed, needed to specify "Elementary Xubuntu Dark" vs "Elementary Xubuntu".

You can't actually move stuff freely in XFCE panels; moving only changes the order of things. You have to use separators (which can be invisible and have the option to expand) to get stuff in particular places. I have eight invisible separators on my panel, and the 'Window Buttons' item expands to fill all free space, allowing me to place things on the 'end' of my panel.

Awesome menu icon themes

I've just started playing around with awesome (normally use gnome). Is there anyway of setting an icon theme for the menus and things?
The standard themes manually set the icons in theme.lua .
theme.awesome_icon = "~/muh_icon.png"
beautiful.awesome_icon
In theme.lua there's a field theme.icon_theme which doesn't seem to do anything?

It's somewhat complicated. Where do you want you change the icon theme?
If you want to change the application icons that appear in the task bar, you must use lxappearance.
If you want to change the applications icons in the menu bar (the one that functions like dmenu), you must set the variable theme.icon_theme=Your_icon_theme in your theme.lua, like you said in your post. But there are several things to consider:
- The folder that contains the icon theme must be in the following format:
/... /icons/Icon_theme/16x16/actions, animations,apps,...
/22x22/
/64x64/
etc
Not every theme follows that format. For example, faenza-icon-theme and faience-icon-theme from the official repositories have the directories with the categories first (apps, emblems, etc) and then the directories with the different sizes, so the script that loads the icons doesn't work.
-The icon theme must consist only of .png images. Many icon themes have images in .svg, and apparently Awesome can't load them. numix-icon-theme-git and faba-icon-theme-git from the AUR consist of .svg images, so they won't work.
moka-icon-theme-git from the AUR has .png icons and also has them stored in the correct directory format. Maybe you should try it.
If you want to use a theme with .svg icons, you can convert them to .png with imagemagick. I use the following bash script:
#!/bin/bash
for directorio in */
do
echo $directorio
for imagen in $directorio/*
do
echo $imagen
convert -background transparent $imagen $directorio/`basename $imagen .svg`.png
done
rm $directorio/*.svg
done
notify-send "Finish" "Icon conversion finished."
You must run it inside of every size folder (64x64, 128x128, etc), be sure to make a backup of the original icon theme.
For example, I converted numix-circle-icon-theme-git with that script and now my menubar looks like this:
If you want to change the application icons in the menu that appears when you click on the awesome icon or right click on the desktop, install archlinux-xdg-menu from the official repositories. After that copy /usr/bin/xdg_menu to your home directory and edit it like this:
91 foreach my $dir (@xdg_data_dirs)
92 {
93 my $theme = "your_icon_theme";
94 my $size;
Then, execute it like it's mentioned in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-menu, but using the script in your home folder for --root-menu. The icons must be stored in the directory format mentioned above.
Now, the app menu looks like this:
I hope these instructions are useful. Maybe it's a good idea to include them in the wiki.

[SOLVED]Icon theme set properly in .gtkrc-2.0.mine,no icons in Thunar

Hi again. I seem to not be able to utilize the search function properly. I've arrived at these three threads:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48490
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98261
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103138
None of them seem to help me. As you can see, I--like others-- am having a problem with icons in thunar. However, it's not because I don't know how the .gtkrc-2.0 file works or something silly like that. I just did this in Slackware with Awesome wm and it worked fine. I've created a .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory, I have the include line pointing to .gtkrc-2.0.mine and I have this line:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "icontheme"
Considering that didn't work I installed lxappearance and set the theme from there. Turns out, it actually does work it seems. I can see in firefox that the icon theme is working. Also, some files in Thunar have their proper icons. In the filesystem, my root folder has it's appropriate icon as well. However, every other folder in thunar is just blank. No icon. I'm using Awesome wm. I hope you will see this isn't the same problem everyone else has had with Thunar and gtk icon themes. Hopefully the community does not frown on this post. I've searched, but if there is indeed a thread somewhere that I missed, would someone mind kindly directing me to it? Thank you, and thanks for reading.

[KDE] Icon theme in some GTK+ apps is stuck to Oxygen

I've been trying to figure out what my problem is for a few days now... For some reason, when I try to change the icon theme to anything besides Oxygen for GTK apps when I'm using the oxygen-gtk theme, it doesn't change. But if I switch to a theme such as Raleigh, it uses my icon theme.
The icon theme I am trying to set is KFaenza. I also tried Faenza-Cupertino, using Faenza as a fallback, but that didn't work either.
I saw this topic, which is almost my exact issue. This didn't help either.
I tried multiple tweaks to my .gtkrc-2.0, such as commenting out the theme name, the first "include" (that sets my theme to oxygen-gtk), and commenting out the fallback icon theme line. None of these work.
I also tried putting the icon themes in /usr/share/icons, which didn't help.
I am using the System Settings module to set my GTK+ theme. I have an up-to-date system (just reinstalled a couple of days ago).
Currently I am using an unmodified gtkrc created by System Settings.
Hopefully all this info helps, and thanks in advance for any answers!
UPDATE: I just installed gconf-editor to see if I could fix anything in there. It just turns out that gconf-editor is obeying my settings and this is a problem with Chromium and not GTK.
UPDATE #2: I also installed Firefox and it is also not obeying my settings.

Copy the icon theme folder to /usr/share/icons
(ex. if your icon theme folder's name is Oxygen-Refit, it should be at /usr/share/icons/Oxygen-Refit)
Then edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde and add the line baghera suggested. It works here.
Note that you need to do this to .gtkrc-2.0 (yes, thats without -kde) too if you don't use gtk-qt-engine to change gtk themes.
Also note that every time you change the gtk theme (either via systemsettings or via 3rd party utility) this line is autoremoved from the corresponding file(s).
Finally, make sure you close the gtk app you want the change to be shown and reopen it. All newly opened gtk apps should show the change.

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.

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

Hi,
When updating I encountered this message :

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.

KDE 4.5: tray icons theme

Hi,
Does a tray icons theme exist as a separate entity? If it does, how am I supposed to change it?

Teho wrote:
pressh wrote:I don't oppose monochrome icons per se, it just looks too ugly when some random colored icon is in between.
That shouldn't happen in KDE, the icons are forced in certain order; Normal apps, static icons. The whole idea was to differentiate those two, as far as I know.
That's exactly right Teho. The monochrome and colored icons do not get mixed together, but having a colored set of icons adjacent to a monochrome set still looks a little odd. In any case, my main complaint with the monochrome icons is that they detract from overall usability. Colored icons make it easier to distinguish one app from another. So, for me at least, the new icons look nice; they're just less useful.
By the way, I really don't like the way the system tray opens a pop-up menu for hidden icons. It sucked when Windows added that "feature" and it sucks no less when a FOSS desktop copies the idea. Since the system tray is just a plasmoid, you'd think we could still have the option of either the old style or new style as distinctly separate widgets for the panel. Why do they completely replace one with another?

[Solved]Remove button icons in KDE applications when running under dwm

I run dwm but also use KDE applications.
KDE applications do show icons on dialog buttons:
I gather that these buttons can be disabled in the system settings dialog when running a full KDE desktop. My question is: How do I achieve this - remove the icons on buttons - while not running a full KDE session?
kcmshell4 doesn't seem to expose an option to do so in any available module, including 'kcmshell4 icons'.
The systemsettings5 option repertoire is incomplete and only has the modules "Workspace>Desktop behaviour", "Workspace>Shortcuts", "Network>Settings" and "Network>Connectivity".
In my .xsession, I am currently exporting
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk # Make Qt5 use the GTK+ theme
export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome # For something I can't quite remember
I've also seen XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome vs XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde floating around, but neither achieves anything in this regard.
Does anybody know which setting in which config file I could set to emulate what the KDE configuration GUI does in a KDE session, or what KDE packages I would have to install in order to add the correct settings component to my KDE configuration utilities (KDE4 and/or Plasma 5), or what environment variable to set? A last resort would be installing a full KDE workspace or Plasma 5 and toggling the setting there, but I'd rather avoid doing that.

Would running "kcmshell5 style", or "kcmshell4 style" be an option? Am not sure what you have installed, but under fine tuning tab there, there's exactly what you need.
Edit: if that doesn't work, .config/kdeglobals
ShowIconsInMenuItems=true
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=true
ToolButtonStyle=TextBesideIcon
ToolButtonStyleOtherToolbars=TextBesideIcon
Change to false and TextOnly, respectively
Might have to look for another kdeglobals file for kde4 apps, which should be either in .kde4 or in home dir, since there's a bit of a mess currently during transition
Please excuse my belated reply; thank you for the solution:
The line
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=false
in kdeglobals removed the icons for KDE 4 applications. For some reason, applications using KDE Frameworks 5.x did never show the button icons to begin with.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

Change KDE Icon theme from XFCE

I just installed okular and some other KDE applications since the GNOME3 ones currently look pretty bad in my XFCE desktop. The GTK/QT themes are easy to get to match, but there's a KDE port of my icon theme, and I don't know how to change to it. Do I have to install KDE's control center / system settings program and if so what package is it part of or is there just some file I can hand edit?
Thanks.

Well, so far I figured out that the KDE control center is part of the kdebase-workspace package which brought in about 85MB of dependencies and other stuff. So I'd still prefer to find a textual solution, but when I tried diffing my .kde4 folder before and after, I got different results different times, so I'm still working on that. Will post if I figure anything out and perhaps whip upsome bash script to change it.

[Solved] I have Tango (Tango icon theme), but GTK ignore it

I have set "Tango" in config file of GTK (.gtkrc-2.0):
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"
and installed tango-icon-theme form AUR:
/usr/local/share/icons/Tango/index.theme (I see it!)
but PCManFM ignore it when I start new thread... (GTK greeter and etc.) Installation was so simple: ./configure; make; sudo make install... What can I do?
Thank you!

[SOLVED] icon-theme.cache and post install

Hi all,
after a problem with an app (in this case RawTherapee) that requires uptodate icon-theme.cache files under /usr/share/icons/THEME - I just want to ask for your opinion: Is this a feature that should be provided by the icon-theme package post install?
For example, xfce4-icon-theme has
post_install() {
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/Rodent
in it's xfce4-icon-theme.install,
while gnome-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme don't and require issueing gtk-update-icon-cache manually after installation/update.
So what do you think, does this call for a feature request?
Edit: Seems like I got the concept wrong and that a solution is not that simple / on the segfaulting programs side... see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14237. Thx Jan for explaining.

Apparently gtk-update-icon-cache didn't accept that i had a .icon-theme.cache in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/. After removing it gtk-update-icon-cache apparently created a new file "icon-theme.cache" and doesn't complain anymore. The thing that is wierd about this is that on my other comp i have the .icon-theme.cache and it doesn't complain when upgrading.. Marking this solved anyway
