[opensuse-factory] Oxygen icons on Apache
Hello list-mates, As some of you may know, I've been working on making Oxygen icons available on Apache, and I would like to get some feedback. Do you see any unrecognizable icons at http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/ ? I want to make it easy to enable. Quoting from the README file included in the apache2-icons-oxygen package In order to enable this collection of icons on Apache, you have to add Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults-oxygen.conf (Apache-wide) to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Do not forget to comment the line Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults.conf and comment the following as well in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf Alias /icons/ "/usr/share/apache2/icons/" <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> (Virtual hosts) to your virtual host configuration file (usually located under /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/). Is there a better way to do it? My idea is to make Apache's directory listing more beautiful. It's already part of the Apache Build Service project and if you like it, I could submit it to Factory. The latest rpm packages are available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/javierllorente/ Build Service project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=apache2-icons- oxygen&project=home:javierllorente I was also thinking about dropping apache2-icons-crystal unless someone likes Crystal icons. Comments and suggestions are welcome! -- Javier Llorente

One that stood out to me is the ODF icons... any thoughts about using the Unified ODF icon syles/concepts in the Oxygen (and other) icon theme? http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/unified_odf_icons C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for your feedback. Those icons are nice. However, I would prefer having Oxygen-like icons. One possibility could be using the doc, ppt and xls icons for the odf filetypes as well. Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

That's why I said concepts in my initial reply :-) Keeping the Oxygen-like icons is a good thing for the icon set. I was just wondering if they could reflect where the ODF guys are trying to take the "standard" icons as well... I am not an artist or icon designer... no idea how hard it would be to apply that concept to the Oxygen style... but if it's possible... it might be a nice touch.

I guess that folder-red.png should be folder_red.png. Thanks. On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 8:05 PM, C <smaug42@gmail.com> wrote:

The green arrow for the parent directory is illogically pointing right upwards. I'd suggest to mirror the image so it points left upwards instead. (Or take the icon from the crystal set - which is, well, not perfect, but at least quite clear.) The icons for .ods and .odt don't seem to convey any meaning at all. Nothing I can recognize anyway (it's just a patch of gray). The icon for .pl might be some kind of animal, but I'm guessing. It could be anything else. The icon for .torrent doesn't make me recognize anything. The rest is actually quite nice.

Yes, it'd be much simpler if you provide a config file that is ready to be included in any virtual host. Just ship a config file containing the following: /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf: Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons/ <Directory /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort NameWidth=* AddIcon ... ... Then as a user you'd only need to put one line into any vhost config: Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf It's better also because no shipped config files need to be modified.
My idea is to make Apache's directory listing more beautiful. It's already part of the Apache Build Service project and if you like it, I could submit it to Factory.

OK. I'll change it to see if it looks nice.
The icons for .ods and .odt don't seem to convey any meaning at all. Nothing I can recognize anyway (it's just a patch of gray).
I was thinking of using the same doc, ppt and xls icons for odf filetypes as well.
The icon for .pl might be some kind of animal, but I'm guessing. It could be anything else.
It's not very clear. It's a camel btw ;)
The icon for .torrent doesn't make me recognize anything.
I agree 100%. It could be a bookmark for instance. I have to find/create a replacement or leave it with the "blank" icon.
The rest is actually quite nice.

Yes, it'd be much simpler if you provide a config file that is ready to be included in any virtual host. Just ship a config file containing the following:
/etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf:
Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons/ <Directory /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort NameWidth=* AddIcon ... ...
Then as a user you'd only need to put one line into any vhost config:
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf
It's better also because no shipped config files need to be modified.
That's what I have. The thing is that, if you don't have virtual hosts or if you want to use the icons Apache-wide, you would have no other choice than modifying shipped config files (that's what I understand).
