Prettier Gslapt GTK theme icons

Postby zAchAry » 24. Apr 2012, 20:32

The default icons
Code: Select all
$ ls /usr/share/gslapt/pixmaps/ -1
gslapt.png
pkg_action_available.png
pkg_action_available_excluded.png
pkg_action_downgrade.png
pkg_action_install.png
pkg_action_installed.png
pkg_action_installed_excluded.png
pkg_action_reinstall.png
pkg_action_remove.png
pkg_action_upgrade.png


Custom icons
Code: Select all
package-available-locked.svg
package-installed-updated.svg
package-available.svg
package-downgrade.svg
package-reinstall.svg
package-install.svg
package-remove.svg
package-installed-locked.svg
package-upgrade.svg


Download sample: package-Humanity-XP-fc.7z 20.1 kB (20,599 Bytes)

The suggestion is to modify the icons of the Humanity-XP (by ukrop) icon theme to Cyan/SalixOS flavor or to write new icons in the spirit of SalixOS.

Not a bad idea. Not pressing, but it could be done in a future update or for the next version.

Will these be in the default icon theme package or in the GSlapt package?
Can we expect for it in Salix 14.0?

I can't get the icons. The URLs from gnome-look don't work anymore.

Thanks. Too late for the RC1 though.

Never mind, we can add them in next gslapt security update.

Did you made it to work? I used to try it when I executed gslapt as a regular user when it was possible. Today, I tried to test the icons when they were located at /usr/share/icons/ but nothing has been changed. I am using gslapt 0.5.3h.

Try these packages (built for 14.0): http://pnboy.pinguix.com/gapan/salix/gslapt/

You did it in an arbitrary manner. I meant to do it by switching icon theme, just like it is in Synaptic Package Manager. According to Jason, he did not changed anything in this matter. Perhaps something has changed in gtk-icon-map since.

[Example] Change this code:
Code: Select all
    <linearGradient
       id="linearGradient2264">
      <stop
         id="stop2266"
         style="stop-color:#66E8D0;stop-opacity:1"
         offset="0" />
      <stop
         id="stop2268"
         style="stop-color:#4140D8;stop-opacity:1"
         offset="1" />
    </linearGradient>


To this code:
Code: Select all
    <linearGradient
       id="linearGradient2264">
      <stop
         id="stop2266"
         style="stop-color:#D766E8;stop-opacity:1"
         offset="0" />
      <stop
         id="stop2268"
         style="stop-color:#A340D8;stop-opacity:1"
         offset="1" />
    </linearGradient>


66E8D0 > D766E8
4140D8 > A340D8

Turning the icons to purple will be fit to the Quid (originally, Crux, in GNOME) icon theme of MATÉ.

Tell me, where exactly did you say that? Where did you even hint anything in that direction?

In order to do it that way, it would need changes in the source code, as gslapt only looks in one very specific directory about files named in a very specific manner. I'm not going to touch that. Only thing I can do is actually change the icons, like I did.
