GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 374722
Cleanup icons installed by Nautilus
Last modified: 2010-12-18 23:48:53 UTC
There are several icons in icons/ directory. It could be interesting remove legacy icons and updated needed icons to match Tango (now GNOME too) style. ## Legacy icons ## The following icons are no longer needed and could be removed from cvs. * nautilus-desktop.png * nautilus-file-management-properties.png * nautilus-mini-logo.png * Search.png * side_bar_image.png Alex, OK to remove from cvs? ## Icons to refresh ## * nautilus-launch-icon.png - this icon is only used in About window. The style is very very old. BTW IMHO the icon name should be "nautilus-logo" and should be installed as named icon. A new logo is yet available by Ulisse Perusin, see http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Fridays This new icon is available at multiple sizes and follows Tango guidelines. * backgrounds; color; emblems - those icons come from old Eazel Age, a refresh is needed (or we should redesign the Backgrounds and Emblems dialog). Ulisse might work on them. * note-indicator - as above, Tango style and install as named icon. Some note-shaping icon should be available in gnome-applets and/or Tomboy. We could reuse it. * knob.png - this icon is yet using Tango colors. The only non-tango stuff is the pure black border. Trivial to change. ## Other icons ## * audio.svg - is this feature relally useful today? If I'm right it still uses mpg123 (if availabla), while the GNOME multimedia framework is GStreamer. * text-selection-frame.png - should be used to create the rounded corners for icon captions when selected. Can't we use cairo to do it? * thumbnail_frame.png - used to create a frame around thumbnails for some images. The border here is pure black. Should we sticth to a more Tango-ish dark gray? * chit_frame.png - maybe used in Borders, no ideas about it
Created attachment 76497 [details] Nautilus logo icon with sources
Comment on attachment 76497 [details] Nautilus logo icon with sources Here is the logo icon in Tango style with source SVGs. I'm also (slowly) working on color/background/simbol icons.
Knob icon updated.
Nautilus logo from Ulisse added to cvs HEAD. It's under icons/appicon/ directory. This because the logo icon should be installed under $(prefix)/share/icons/hicolor directory, while application's icons should be installed under $(prefix)/share/$(application)/icons/hicolor directory. Install icons in different directories using only Makefiles.am rules could be a paing. So the logo is in icons/appicon/<size>, other icons will be in icons/<size>/<context> Oh, the named icon name is "nautilus", because the application name is Nautilus. The suggested "nautilus-logo" from myself in comment #0 was wrong.
Self Note: "nautilus-server-connect" icons is used in src/nautilus-connect-server-dialog.c Needed investigation.

Created attachment 96870 [details] backgrounds, colors and symbols icons as I said uhm... nearly an year ago, I finally worked out some icons for colors, backgrounds and symbols. Not that they really needed an year of work, it was due just to my faulty memory :P

Luca, I have opened a bug to discuss about redesign about Emblems and Background dialog, that is bug:534297 . I don't think it is necessary to ship those 3 icons, what I proposed in the newly opened bug is to use Tab style dialog.
This seems to be obsolete now, as we don't ship any custom icon we don't use.
