Icon Themes Exchange
Yeah! Excellent! This is what Puppy deserves. I realized that "all the other linuxes have their icons," why not us?! Nice compilation, dejan555!dejan555 wrote:Now you can browse iconsets here.
I hope that you all are enjoying my icon insanity...don't know why I'm on this roll, but...
Ok, this set is a compilation of sets, the bulk of which are from the Assorted Icons set from Deviant art. All icons are from deviant art. All are from sources with at least creative commons license release, so they are all good for re-use, but please don't sell 'em unless you track down the source of the icon.
This icon set has my usual mod's, so all have been resized and renamed at least. Only ones that could be modified have had things added to them like mount, etc.
The intention of this set is to have icons that are as true to life as possible, so I looked for some very sharp icons and I think it turned out well. Thanks to deviant art for having this kind of service available.
The wallpaper is from here and the jwm theme (yes, that's jwm) is the vista theme provided by WhoDo on the jwm themes exchange thread...

Your roll is great Steve! Keep it up! I really like having so many icon options. The icons have a bit of a way to catch up till they meet the variety of the icewm themes- and you're helping them . You could become the WhoDo of icons Thanks for posting so many!steve_s wrote: I hope that you all are enjoying my icon insanity...don't know why I'm on this roll, but...

more icons
I have been at iconarchive.com for about 2 hours now. There are thousands of cool icons that you can download, as a pack or individually. I've replaced almost every puppy icon!
Thank you, battleshooter...that is very appreciated.battleshooter wrote:Your roll is great Steve! Keep it up! I really like having so many icon options.

hondasid: good suggestion! Thanks!
yeah, they have a ton of stuff. I posted my desktop when I was through with it here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=735
I've since added FakeNES and ZSNES and have desktop icons for both.
Thinking I'm going to add Opera and remove Firefox 3, way too buggy with online videos, which is how I watch television.

I'm a bigger fan of having a set of icons, but I'll check that out for ideas; thanks again... Oh, and Texan's unite!!hondasid wrote:yeah, they have a ton of stuff. I posted my desktop when I was through with it here:

odd question and i just want to know if it would work.
I have made a seperate folder of all of the stock puppy icons and then replaced each of them with an icon of my liking, while renaming them appropriatly to match the factory names. If I give this folder a name and place it in the themes folder with the rest, will it show up on the desktop icon switcher?

Instead of looking out Windows, I'm playing with my Puppy.
Unfortunately it only works if you follow the format of sizes, names, etc. Check the beginning of this thread and Barry posts the link to his blog that gives instructions on the correct sizing and naming and such...hondasid wrote:odd question and i just want to know if it would work.

yeah, i've downloaded all the right size icons, 24x24 and 48x48 and have changed the names to reflect those of a stock puppy install. And they are all png files. I just don't want to load this thing in there and lose all my icons. I spent over a day getting them all. No flash drive or CD-R to save them to either.

Looking for a theme that is a little more vibrant but not too serious? Try this.
Smooth-color is a combination of packages including various things off of iconarchive, deviant art and the like. Scrap icons, a little gartoon, etc. as long as I could stay with the feel of the theme and licensing issues didn't conflict. This one is free for non-commercial use, otherwise look up the creator...
All on 4.2; usual mod's by myself, including the start-button...
Enjoy and post back if you like 'em...

...well, save 'em some place secure, either the hard drive or something else. I completely understand working on 'em all day. But you are pretty safe with those 'cause here is what happens, basically: once the icons are saved in the right place (/usr/local/lib/X11/themes/) you can then click on change icon theme. Once you click on that it says, hey, you sure? you say yeah, then the script runs and essentially takes your icon theme and recreates it in the correct folder for the desktop (that's why the svg files can work 'cause the script converts 'em to png).hondasid wrote:yeah, i've downloaded all the right size icons, 24x24 and 48x48 and have changed the names to reflect those of a stock puppy install.

That's simplifying and any of the more learned dogs [dogs= a respectful term, in this case, regarding those that have been on the forum forever and know a great deal more than me..."dog" is meant to represent the grown up equivalent of a puppy, in this case ] on the forum feel free to correct me. But my point is, your icons are still there when the process is finished.
But remember, I did tell you to save them first...
Well, wonder no more. It works.
I copied the current theme from pixmaps folder to a new folder and slowly replaced them one by one. Once I had all of them changed, I gave the folder a name and put it in the themes folder with the other 3. I ran desktop icon switcher and there, even with a preview.

Here is a new one folks..aluminum icon theme...straight from here...here
Similar to osx with aluminum style folders...
...I've almost got this process automated, folks.
Let's just say install imagemagick (search the forum) use mogrify to change icon sizes, use a rename script to rename and use composite to make the mntd and boot_mntd icons...I'm THIS close... My goal is to have it to where I put the base icons in a file, run a script, then the icon set is created...I'll keep everyone posted...

OK, this is my first iconset attempt, I kinda exaggerated with this, made them too green and glowy, but someone might like it.
