GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 450786
PATCH: Use themeable app icons
Last modified: 2007-06-26 23:04:58 UTC
Part of the AppIcon GnomeGoal (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AppIcon). The following patch installs the 48x48 icons in the hicolor theme and uses the correct gtk call to grab app icons from the theme, not .../pixmaps. One odd thing I noticed is that the gdmphotosetup .desktop file references the icon 'login-photo' but the actual application uses 'stock_person' as a window icon. Also, 'login-photo' isn't very well namespaced (could be gdm-login-photo or some such). But I left it as is, except to install it to the right place.
Created attachment 90598 [details] [review] Proposed patch
Thanks. Committed to SVN head. If you want to change the icon names to have better namespace, feel free. Also, you might take a look at the patch in bug #360984. This adds nifty new icons to the gdmgreeter menu so that each menu item has a nice new icon. The patch mostly works, but I was never able to figure out how to properly install the icons. If you understand how icons should be installed, this might not be so hard for you?
Just a followup -- I moved gui/login-photo.png to a better location and name: pixmaps/48x48/gdm-login-photo.png. I'll look at that bug.
