Re: Show off your screenshots

Hi Munky261, would you share those great icons for tritanium?
Thanks a lot!

Re: Show off your screenshots

Here ya go, if you want the normal application menu icons changed, you have to use emelfm2 to manually replace the stock icons for everything, they dont all reside in the same folders. If you dont know how or where to place the icons or update the icon cache (you have to do that even if you are using them just for personal launcher and personal menu) dont hesitate to ask. :)

So, thank you for appreciating it, I wish I could show off all the icons I made, it took me a very long time. I'm not sure what I would need to upload for you, if you would like to use it, though. It's been over a year since I was playing with this, and I can't quite remember anymore. Is it the index.theme? Does that contain all the icons and the modified desktop theme? If someone just lets me know what I'd need to do, I'll get it out for you.

I can point you to the background that I used now, though, Tux Vs. MS Butterfly.

Anywho, thanks again, and hopefully some out there has an idea of how to modify OMWeather's detail view...anybody...anybody. :)

Hi Kade,

I didn't realise you had hand crafted the icons for your theme - great job. I do not know about themes/icons/etc, whether it is just a case of index.theme. All I have done to date is install themes from downloaded .deb files.
Perhaps I may find a little time soon to investigate what is required to share themes/icons and get back to you.

Regards,
John

Re: Show off your screenshots

Andrewfblack, youll need to install emelfm2 first, if you havent already got it. Then navigate to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps in one pane, and in the other pane, navigate to whereever you have the icons stored. put JUST THE ICONS, not the folder in which they are contained into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps. Then open xterm and run... sudo gainroot

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Then after it says "cache file created successfully" you close xterm and either reboot or kill hildon desktop. Putting them in this location only makes them accessible to Personal Launcher and Personal Menu. If you want to change all the icons in the built in application menu, you will again have to use emelfm2 and replace all the original icon files. Most of these are located in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon , but a few (at least for me) are located in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps , or a few other locations thereabouts, you may just have to look around. I even had to edit a few .desktop files so the icons would change. If you have any questions about specific locations for program icons, just ask. But always remember to run the icons cache update. Good Luck! :)

Very funny! ...that might take a while, wait for the 3 service packs, reboot a half dozen times, and then try to do a screenshot of a BSOD on your Nokia. :D

I love seeing screen shots of my themes. I wonder if there is a way I could make the windows theme randomly close programs and give illegal operation errors

I'm in no way suggesting this... but there's nothing to say you couldn't write a small daemon (that would be installed along with the theme) that could accomplish such things as sending random dbus messages to open applications, or displaying some "error message dialog" type screens... ;) ...and have it schedule itself for the "next invocation" via the alarmd daemon...

Re: Show off your screenshots

qwerty12 has packaged up the xscreensaver package for maemo. One of the screensavers available is a very realistic looking crash-screen simulator. It has crash screens for all kinds of operating systems, all the way back to DOS and Amiga days. I bet you could set one up that just did simulated Windows errors.

Another fun thing to do would just to throw random dialog boxes with typical Windows error messages in them... You could use gxmessage or zenity for that...
