Tango Theme

Summary: 
the Tango icon theme (adapted for ROX)
Current stable version: 
065-1
Primary author(s): 
The Tango Team (I ain't takin' credit for this)

This is the Tango icon theme adapted to ROX. It also should work with Gnome, so you shouldn't have to install it twice.

A small screenshot:

(Note: The emblems on the directories is from a ROX-Filer patch - not included here.)

(Note 2: The 065-1 version means the Tango version is 0.6.5, and my ROX version of that is 1)

Tango doesn't need to be adapted

Yesterday I installed the tango icon pack "from source" and then selected it in rox-filer; it just worked, no need to change anything.

Rox rox, and tango rox too!

here is the URL

Here is the URL where I downloaded tango from: http://tango-project.org/Tango_Desktop_Project

Except inode/mount-point icon

All except the inode/mount-point icon, for which I get the ? icon.

Same for me: Perfect except

Same for me:
Perfect except the mount points

CodeTangoSet

There is a small side-project to add some 'code' icons for C, Python, PHP, Ruby and other files here. So far I've found a link for PHP and Python icons here. There seems to be something wrong with the file. I needed to gunzip then untar it separately. But the contents are good. See the Python Tango goodness... Just drop these in your existing Tango theme dir and rebuild the icon cache with gtk-update-icon-cache.

how the hell do you get this?

Hi,

could you please be so nice to write here in a really detailed way how you got this? It looks really nice. So one ,,must have'' thing more...

Well, I'm not sure what part(s) you are referring to.

Well, I'm not sure what part(s) you are referring to. The Tango icons themselves can be found on the tango-project web site. They come with a Makefile that normally generates Gnome and KDE compatible links and names. All I did was to copy/link/rename the files to match ROX's expected icon names (based on the mime specs).

Others here are saying that what I did is not strictly necessary because ROX supports most of the gnome icon names, but I tend to be a bit of a purist :).

Finally, the emblems on each folder are created from a patch that someone created long ago that I keep updated on my copy of Filer.

how the hell...

Puh,
apperently I am too newbie-like

...I refer to the small screenshot picture shown above. I think it looks very nice. I got the Tango pictures but there was no Makefile in them.
,,All I did was to copy/link/rename the files to match ROX's expected icon names (based on the mime specs).'' - Ok, where to find that?

And then this here:
,,Finally, the emblems on each folder are created from a patch that someone created long ago that I keep updated on my copy of Filer.'' - Is this patch still available and how would one apply it?

My personal opinion until now: I like Rox a lot, but its ,,look'' I find ugly (on Mandriva 2007.1 it looks much better than on 2006.0, I must admit). You may laugh but to work with a tool that does not look nice - is not nice for me!

take this offline

Michael,

Why don't you email me directly (or join the rox-users mailing list) and I can try to help you more. I think this discussion should not occur here.

Thanks,

Michael Bischof
