Dear wjaguar,

Everything works as you said it would. My mtpaintrc file looks like this:
Code:

# choose a location (directory) for your mtpaint theme (icon dir)

pixmap_path "/root/.mtpaint-theme/"

# icon definitions go here

style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_brcosa"] = { { "mtpaint_brcosa.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_case"] = { { "mtpaint_case.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_centre"] = { { "mtpaint_centre.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_cline"] = { { "mtpaint_cline.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_clone"] = { { "mtpaint_clone.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_close"] = { { "mtpaint_close.png",*, *, * } } }
style "mtPaint" { stock["mtpaint_config"] = { { "mtpaint_config.png",*, *, * } } }

.... (and so on)

widget_class "*" style "mtPaint"


many thanks and kind regards,
vovchik

Hi vovchik when your finished could you please post a skinned version Smile with the mtpaintrc and icons. That would save everybody a lot of time figuring it, I'm more foccused on 2.20 and don't have time figure this out from scratch.
Thanks

Dear ttuuxxx,

Here is my mtpaintrc and my .mtpaint-theme (hidden) dir full of png icons. I bashed this set together quickly, using some of your icons and some others that are supposed to match my OSX GTK/KDE/QT/IceWM themes. All this should be unpacked in /root.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. More work could be done, as evidenced by my screen shot

Good that you included setting "gtk-icon-sizes" in your mtpaintrc. But for best results, the size which mtPaint uses should be set to precisely the unscaled size of the icons. Like this:
Code:
gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-small-toolbar=22,22"

Because, see, GTK's image scaling code is completely braindead, and its results are of a very bad quality. Sad

And if an icon is originally larger than needed, it is better to rescale it with mtPaint, than leave the job to GTK+.
First, "Scale canvas" - with default "Blackman-Harris" method, gamma correction enabled, and "Sharper image reduction" in settings toggled on.
Then, "Unsharp mask" for improving the contrast - a good working recipe is one pass with radius 1 and amount 0.40, and then another with radius 30 and amount 0.10. (This is what Wikipedia engine does when serving reduced-size images, since 2007.)

BTW, image scaling was the reason why I got involved with mtPaint: no existing program was able to do it properly, so I had to implement it myself. Smile

wjaguar has added many features - here is a build for testing

I wanted to have more colors in my xpm files without adding unnecessary size, this tarball contains a patch to allow mtpaint to use 92 colors vs 64, it is also set up so that it can more easily be modified for more than 2 characters wide. (the tarball also has a few builtin xpms that were reduced by about 1kb total)

here is what it looks like:

to add 3+ character wide support ws[3] would need to be increased to ws[4] and would need to compute ws[2] and tmp[2], which is basically i or k / (strlen(ascii)*strlen(ascii)) ... I think, if not, its a good place to start

I just realized the hex part may be broken... Need to test something with 16 colors, but it looks like it may be totally unnecessary anyways.
