I'm losing myself....

ok, I have an idea: Mark, if you can, attach one of those two theme you published in your last post, so I can understand how the icons are set and where they have to be located

No way Mark...I put that sfs in my dev_save directory, renamed to _300 (Pizzapup uses that suffix) but I can't see it anywhere...can it be an incompatibility with squash file system? Pizzapup is rather old...

http://dotpups.de/tests/Crashbit-06.04. ... .53.tar.gz

extract to /usr/share/themes/
This is the default theme from Ultrapup.

Ok, a little progress...putting it in /usr/share/themes didn't give any result, in sense that the GTK theme select in Pizzapup (I think you wrote it...) doesn't even see it.
So I placed it in /root/.icons directory: there you can select it from rox's options; but, again, the change is only in mime icons, nothing happens to rox's taskbar icons...I'm trying to think that Pizzapup had some particular setting....

This is what I'm saying...

What do you get by typing rox --version ?
I get here 2.6.1, and if I remember well, the support for standard icon themes was one of the features added relatively late.

Woohoo! I've learned something else new about Puppy! Thanks, Mark.

Rox is version 2.5...can be this the problem? If so, sorry for having made you loose your time on this.....

I had added it to my themeselector:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=218890

But it will not work for eden6000 because of the old rox version.

It works like this:
You set the icontheme in Rox-Filers options to "muppy".
"muppy" is a symbolic link in /usr/share/icons/.

The themeselector shows the iconsets there, and when the user selects one, the "muppy" symlink is deleted, and a new one is created.

Like:

cd /usr/share/icons
rm muppy
ln -s Crashbit muppy

Like this I could avoid to modify the rox configfiles, only once the theme "muppy" had to be activated.

yes, I think so.
Your description indicates, that the last links I gave you, are valid.
Eyes only has described there how it works, that is the old way.

Not your fault, I really should have remembered, that rox worked different at that time.
Sorry for giviing you wrong instructions - but hey - now Whodo learned something, that is just fine

I get the same situation, Mark, and my ROX version is definitely 2.6.1

When I look inside the tarball you provided, there is no gtk2.0 directory for the icons in the menu bar and /usr/share/icons/hicolor are not used in the menu bar of Rox windows.

To find your Rox version, open a terminal and type
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer -vv

I'm using Rox 2.5 on puppy 2.14.1, The way I setup 2.14.1X is that it uses the icons in /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons for Rox/freedesktop themes, I have 450 icons/links in that folder, none of this 16x16,24x24,etc,etc etc, folders, I use 24x24 icons for rox and menus, and 48x48 for the desktop.
for 468 icon the 24x24 folder is 450kb respectively, when I wanted to change the icons to what Mark posted, it was a matter of changing 5 icons and 5 links. then restart X server and thats it, no changing rox themes, or gtk2 themes etc. Really I think The way I set this system is far better than any other way we've used it in the past. Actually I think I might bring the icon switcher switcher to 2.14.1X and add an extra 5 24x24 icons to the themes to automatically change rox's navigations buttons, the only thing is that the people would have to restart X-server to see them changed. Not a big deal at all. What eden6000 wanted to do is change rox's Navigation buttons, like 30kb worth extracted, not 19MB extracted, like marks theme weighs in at.
Have a look, this took about 2 mins to manually change 5icons without any new code or switching anything. And yes its Rox 2.5.

oh yes, I was wrong

Hm, but I don't know, if this also works in Rox 2.5!
I just tested it now in Puppy 4.2.0.

You must edit the Gtk rc file, for me this is:

/root/.gtkrc.mine
or:
/root/.gtkrc-2.0

You need such a line in it:

Code: Select all

gtk-icon-theme-name="Crashbit"

Then restart Rox (restart X), or run gtkrefresh.

The source for gtkrefresh is included here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=26953

I attach a binary of gtkrefresh, extract it in /usr/local/bin

Sorry for all that confusion

ttuuxx,
yes, the crashbit theme is huge.
It uses 128x128 icons to give a great look in wbar and other gimmicks, and it includes a icon cache file.
I just added everything to have something to test quickly.

To distribute final themes for Rox, your solution is much more effective of course concerning size.

aaaaa WBar ,now I see why you have 128x128 icons, I couldn't figure that one out, also the 16x16 icons that comes with crashbit is undersized for icewm, Nice theme

lots of links but also lots of nice icons also. I might use some in the future.

thanks
