walter, there are some rules to change gtk stock icons by editing .gtkrc-mine , this is how we styled ROX toolbar icons look in these threads/posts:

Ok, I could be dense, but the toolbar icons in Rox filer aren't the problem. I can and have changed those.

No matter what I try though, these types of icons or whatever you want to call them don't change in several apps.

Now, I see the code you put in the mine file. How could I try that and point the stock icons at the right target icon?

Is it as simple as replacing the names of each file with the ones I want to use?
I understand I'd have to add to the mine file and not overwrite the toolbar text.

walter, rox toolbar was just an example since it also uses gtk stock icons, but once you change that .gtkrc.mine all of stock (default) icons change.
Yes, you can paste that into your .gtkrc.mine (make new file in /root )
and change icons path and icon names
There might be more stock icon rules then those in that post, but we used only how much is in rox filer

Also, icons may be hardcoded into application, other then using stock icons. Maybe that pwireless uses static paths to icons, but it seems to me that those are also gtk stocks. If they are hard coded you'll have to open pwireless script and find where the gtk dialog is built and specify icons.

Thanks dejan. Very Happy I appreciate your help. I went to the GTK site so I can find more assistance there with the rules. But that site is hard for a non-coder to understand.

Yes those are GTK stock icons but your guess is probably right about them being hard-coded. Like I said earlier, the up arrow in my rox icons file, which I changed, now shows up in several apps as the up arrow.

Thanks again for the help.

Adding the icons I wanted to use into .gtk-mine works like a charm. A very few of the stock-icons didn't change but I can live with the result.

I added all the extra icons to the same path as the rox-filer icons.

I found that by putting the icon you wish to use in "example: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/devices/camera-web.png "

Then in the gtkdialog script:
Code:
export GUI='
<window title="WebCam Server" icon-name="camera-web" resizable="false">

just don't make the icons over complicated or they look ugly, looks better than those X's and window boxs. Cool

I just tried this with lucid 5.2.8, it don't seem to work, but it does work with Quirky and Barry's latest Racy, haven't tried Wary but I'm guessing that it will work with any that Barry as released, wonder what the difference is?

It seems that it does work in lucid and all other puppy's I would imagine see how here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=589784#589784
