I am running Amarok 1.4.6 on Ubuntu 7.04. On my account, there are no icons within Amarok. All the icons look like a page.

On other accounts, the Amarok icons are fine. (Actually I like the new icons!!)

There must me a problem with the way Amarok is looking for icons. I assume the "page" icon is what it uses when it can't find a real icon.

Some more, potentially important, info:  I have the same issue with all my KDE apps, digiKam and K3B. Also, I recently installed and uninstalled KDE desktop.

People keep pointing me to my default icons in /usr/share (or something similar), but I think it has to be in my home configuration, because everything works in other accounts. I would guess its in ~/.kde or ~/.qt, but I can't figure out the path from Amarok to the icons it uses.

Thanks for any help.

I have made some progress on my issues.

I installed Kcontrol from KDE. This allowed me to set the default KDE icons to be something other than "Gnome" fonts. This made my KDE apps look fine. If icons are set to Gnome default I only get the "paper" icon for everything.

There still is something not right in the way my KDE apps are configured. Amarok is set to use custom fonts, yet it seems to only be using the KDE defaults. Again, I am guessing this is in some config file for KDE, because it happens to all KDE apps.


Thanks to everyone!

No, that's not normal. Amarok's custom icon theme should work fine both in KDE and Gnome, without changes.

Admitting there is a problem is half the battle. 

Any idea how to fix it? I tried reinstalling Amarok and upgrading to 1.4.6.

I have been searching for problems with icons, I will search for problems with Amarok themes and see if that gets me anyplace.

try

Code: Select all

apt-get install kde-icons-crystal

then

Code: Select all

gedit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

and find "[Icons]"

then make the next line read

Code: Select all

Theme=Crystal

This worked for me when I uninstalled KDE. Seems to work for other themes too. Hope this helps.
