Thanx and yea' i'm almost done w/ Etiquette...
I just need to figure out why certain icons don't appear when the Theme is made separate from the main set...

Any one interested in Hosting these two themes? They are getting far to big for me to permanently host...

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

Yeah, there are a few possibilities here.

- themedepot.org, they have an Xfce section

- xfce-goodies project. Not sure how to best manage the separate packages.

- create a new berlios/sf project (xfce-themes.berlios.de?), but that leads to fragmentation.

Maybe it would be a good idea to ask on the xfce mailing list for opinions about this?

Hmm, an xfce-look site might not be a bad idea after all...

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

So it was yours! Very well done.
However, I see little or none innovation in GTK themes lately. Very polished, but always the same things to polish...

I know what you mean! The problem as I see it, is engines or the lack there of. At the moment to make a really different looking theme you need to use the pixmap engine and create all the images (widgets) yr self. But of course doing that adds bloat to the theme and unwanted sluggishness.

I'm really looking forward to the day when people start making theme engines more feature rich and diverse...

ive tryed to do some GTK stuff before but find it over complecated to stuff not using the engines defult look. Clearlooks is ment to be easyer to mod but ive done no more that change the colors.

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

Not sure if this is a problem with the Gnant-XFCE theme or some sort of new bug with the 4.2.1 panel:

I use the icon "gnome-compressed.png" on a panel launcher for the rox archive utility.   In the Gnant theme, the icon exists in the /usr/share/gnant/*/mimetypes directories. 

The problem is this that 4.2.1 panel does not display this inherited icon, i.e. my icon theme is Gnant-XFCE which inherits gnant.

Can anyone else confirm that the 4.2.1 panel is no longer displaying inherited icons?

(EDIT: Ok i got word from the dev that there was a change --- a fix actually --and a minor correction to Gnant.Xfce/index.theme is required:  Change the Inherits=gnant,... to Inherits=GNANT, i.e. all upper case, since the Name= line in the gnant/index.theme is Name=GNANT )

GNANT for Xfce has been updated. If anyone has any requests for new icons, let me know...

Re: icons: Gant for Xfce+Rox

Some of the directional icons don't work because of GTK+'s support for other locales (namely, right-to-left ones).  The following icons should be named with an '-ltr' suffix and an appropriate -rtl variant provided:

gtk-go-back-ltr
gtk-go-forward-ltr
gtk-goto-first-ltr
gtk-goto-last-ltr
gtk-jump-to-ltr
gtk-media-next-ltr
gtk-media-play-ltr
gtk-media-previous-ltr
gtk-redo-ltr
gtk-revert-to-saved-ltr
gtk-undelete-ltr
gtk-undo-ltr
media-ffwd-ltr
media-next-ltr
media-play-ltr
media-prev-ltr

I just figured this out for my own icon theme only after talking to GTK+'s Owen Taylor.  Who knew?! :shock: (i.e. Why isn't this stuff documented?!)

unfortunatly w/ the exception of the panel icon, that has to be done by hand.

xfcalendar.png
xfce-sound.png
xfce4-mouse.png
xfce4-panel.png
fce4-session.png
xfce-graphics.png
xfce4-backdrop.png
xfce4-display.png
xfce4-splash.png
xfce4-iconbox.png
xfce4-taskbar.png
xfce4-keyboard.png
xfce4-ui.png
xfce4-keys.png
xfce4-workspaces.png
xfce-printer.png
xfwm4.png

replacing the above icons in "$prefix$/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps" w/ the gant icons of the "same name & size" should do it for you.

you may need to restart xfce to see the change
