Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This theme is another very neat artistic idea that, to be honest with you, I'm surprised that someone hadn't thought of sooner.

It's from here so thanks to the creator Darknessssen; great idea!

I've done mod's like I usually do customizing for puppy.

Minimalist, hand drawn black and white "paper" icons.

Oh, using a black-white jwm theme from early in the jwm themes exchange forum thread. And the wallpaper is an original gimp done by one of my kids of one of our dogs.

These are the classic Tango icons...usual mod's, etc. by myself. Tango, as usual, very simple, clean and straight-forward.

But what is significant is that these are the first svg icons that I've assembled. Puppy has it's own way of doing things so in order to modify stuff I had to teach myself inkscape. Lite wasn't getting it, so hunting down libraries, etc. finally got Inkscape full installed. Then, after much, "WHY AREN'T YOU EMBEDDING?!!" and, "UGH! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE EXPLAIN THAT I HAD TO TRACE THE BITMAP'S PATH?!!" and the like, I gradually began to figure out how to use Inkscape effectively.

...it was a similar process to learning gimp. Ahhh...good times.

So now I am actually looking forward to the next round of svg icons...they do end up looking very sharp, perhaps coming out cleaner than straight png icons...not ready to create them all myself, but I can mutate with the best of 'em now!

These are from here.

I did the usual mod's, except this is a fully svg icon set, including the mounted and mount boot versions of various icons...thank goodness for Inkscape. Also, I put together a jwm theme that is on the jwm themes thread.

Oh, the start-button.png doesn't like svg, so it is a png icon.

I have full screenshots on the My Puppy Looks Better Than Yours 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...

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!

[hondasid]

yeah, they have a ton of stuff. I posted my desktop when I was through with it here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=4001&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.

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?
