gtk2 missing icons: 'stock_edit' and 'drive-removable-media'

[wdef]

Hi

'make tests' for my gtk2-perl build on TC 4.0.1 complains as per subject line above.
Could these be put in gtk2.tcz?

Thanks,

Phil

Wich icon them are you using?

[wdef]

I used gtk2_prefs.tcz to select Clearlooks.  But Gtk2-perl tests also ask for the hicolor theme which isn't an option at present in gtk2_prefs.

First try gnome-icon-theme. It is the most complete set and installs hicolor-icon-theme as dependency.

Thanks. But meanwhile I installed the hi color theme in /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor (where it wanted to go) and it did get rid of these messages. There are other test failures but not these.

Do you know how that theme is supposed to get added to the options in gtk2_pref.tcz?  I see no gtkrc file in the hicolor sources. I assume it comes from somewhere else.

Also: there are no other icons in /usr/local/share/icons
Where are gtk2 theme icons supposed to get installed on TC?

EDIT: please disregard that last question. I see the icons are in gnome-themes.tcz, which btw did not install hicolor-icon-theme as a dependency on tc4.
--> bug?

Also, wondering: shouldn't gtk2 or gtk2_pref.tcz pull in gnome-themes.tcz as a dependency?

gnome-icon-theme.tcz creates .gtkrc-2.0 in /home/tc It just works fine, you don't have to deal with it usually. If you instrall additional themes or want to fine tune it, either edit with manually if you are familiar with specs or use a tool like lxappearance.tcz

Pulling in nearly 9mb of icons to use any gtk2 app is not nice behavior, IMHO. Beyond just being a theme choice (ie. bike shed, should not be forced by the system), lacking one usually only causes some red x's.

if gtk2-per.tcz  needs gnome-themes.tcz, then it should go in the dep file of gtk2-perl.tcz

It seems in my rush I installed gnome-themes.tcz not gnome-icon-themes.tcz (my bad).  The former also contains theme icons but does not create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and does not have the hicolor extension as a dependency (I installed hicolor from source).  Is there are reason for the overlap between the two different extensions in the repo (other than being slightly different versions)?

.. use a tool like lxappearance.tcz

Off-topic policy suggestion:  extension descriptions could suggest such a tool where appropriate and perhaps differentiate themselves from an overlapping extension.  Submitters may not do it but it could be worth asking them to.

Makes sense in both cases.

hicolor-icon-theme.tcz is in the repo, no need for source.

lxappearance info file says:

Desktop-independent theme switcher for GTK+

In fact, it is a desktop-independent theme switcher for GTK+. Isn't it correct?
