Hi.

If I set an icon in a .desktop file I have to upload it. For example, I want to use preferences-desktop-keyboard-shortcuts from gnome's icon theme. I think that this doesn't have to be necessary and I'm doing something wrong. Am I right? What is the proper way to do this?

Greetings.

In your .spec file use a line similar to: [code] Build-Requires: Gnome-Icon-Theme [/code]

Replace "Gnome-Icon-Theme" with the package name the icon is from.

Thus your Package can build cleanly, without having a fixed requirement during runtime.

But! It could happen that the theme the icon is from, is not installed during package install or usage.

Icons from "hicolor" are usually there, and thus save to use.

Otherwise, drop the "Build-" prefix, and have a fixed requirement to the theme.

Hi. Thanks. I think it is safe to assume that gnome-icon-theme is installed. I cannot recall any desktop that doesn't install it by default. Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

BEWARE: With GNOME 3.14.0, the 'gnome-icon-theme' package will disappear! This was all merged into adwaita-icon-theme.

IF your application is based on GTK3 (and will be built with GTK 3.13.x) then you don't have to worry for that: adwaita-icon-theme is the de-factory GNOME Upstream icon theme which 'each GTK developer is allowed to assume its presence' (as a consequence it is 'required' by libgtk-3-0 with the upcoming GNOME 3.14).

What I basically want to say: do NOT add BuildRequired / Requires to gnome-icon-theme (or let me know, so I can branch it into GNOME:Next, ensuring that when we push GNOME 3.14 to Factory, this switch is taken care of as well).

Best regards, Dominique

Hi. I wasn't aware about the change in the gnome-icon-theme, thanks for pointing that out. The application is ObKey, and old PyGTK app to set key bindings for Openbox. I'm packaging it for LXDE and, given that LXDE is GTK2, I assumed that gnome-icon-theme would be present (up to now it has been always installed by default). LXDE will use Adwaita in 13.2 because currently it uses Clearlooks that is GTK2 only and GTK3 apps look ugly, at least to me. But IIRC GNOME 3.14 will replace Raleigh with Adwaita and the problem might disappear.

There where some plans within LXDE to switch from GTK2 to QT5, so keep that in mind / any eye on it.

Thank you for the invested time, I like LXDE.

- Yamaban.

LXDE is not going away as a GTK2 based DE, at least not in the near future. LXQt is the Qt4/5 based version of LXDE, and it is being developed concurrently. I don't believe you will see a GTK3 based version of LXDE though.

If you want to use a non-standard icon, i.e. an icon which is not referenced in http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.ht... and thus guaranteed to be in any conforming theme, then you have to provide your own copy of that icon/the icons under a unique name into the hicolor theme or /usr/share/pixmaps.

In your .spec file use a line similar to: [code] Build-Requires: Gnome-Icon-Theme [/code]

Replace "Gnome-Icon-Theme" with the package name the icon is from.

That is completely wrong and will not work. Users are free to choose a different theme and then will not see an icon at all. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
