Inspired by JQ8's excellent original theme for Japanese Puppy, I have added to the collection of available desktop icon themes for Dingo with Darkfire. Based around promix89's excellent GPL DarkShine icons, I have added the necessary icons to complete the Dingo set. I welcome others to make their own contributions here, too!

BTW, the background is called Firefall and is available from http://gnome-look.org. The icewm theme is Dark Ruby, a heavy modification of DarkT by Albi. Enjoy!

And here is JQ-8's excellent original icon set for Dingo, too!

WhoDo,
Would you consider doing an icon set how-to with directions for creating and packaging an icon set for Dingo? Or is there already one and I haven't seen it?

Wow! I gotta say that is gorgeous. I had to stop and stare at that thing. Very nice work to the creators. I happen to believe that stock Dingo is one of the finest looking distros I've ever seen, with Viz a close second. This I think is a nice addition to the line up. Well Done!

I've been working on Crystal icon set for Puppy. Here is a preview of it. What do you think?

By the way, I have NOT created the icons completely. I've edited most of them but the original icons are from everaldo.com

Sorry to dig up an old thread,....but I just ran across your question (I was searching the forum to re-install these great icons!) and I saw you didn't receive your answer,.......Whodo uses his "EzPup" and that gives that great taskbar. (Super eyecandy).

Hey WhoDo,

Sorry for my ignorance but may you please teach me or direct me to how I can mimic the way your desktop looks, with the whole Darkfire look. I've downloaded and installed Icewm 1.3.2 from the package manager as well as the darkfire.pet file you posted. But i have no clue on what to do next.

[edit] Oh yea,I'm using Puppy Linux 4.00 if it makes any difference at all

Thank you,
Jinx

Whodo, thanks for the JQ8 nice theme. I already had darkfire, so this new one is a refreshment.

Any other places to get more dingo icon themes?

regards,
Alvaro
