Icons in firefox and libreoffice

Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:42 am
Hi

I know this has been talked millions times but i just can't set it right. I use oxygen-gtk theme for my GTK apps. Everything is allright except the icons. If i use oxygen-gtk changed icons are not applied. But if i choose raleigh theme icons do apply . The problem is the same for other GTK apps too. Ouh. I use kawoken icons for my Qt apps and some of the icons do apply to firefox but nor all (just few). Awoken, for gnome, doesn't work either. Any suggestion?

Thanks

Did you try kde-gtk-config?
Actually it doesn't work for me but maybe it will work for you.

It is not a command. It is a configuration tool. Here you have a picture:

could be because firefox and libreoffice are not gtk apps per se

for firefox try this thread viewtopic.php?f=14&t=17786&hilit=firefox+kde (fyi it is long)

for libre-office try installing the libreoffice-kde4 package

I have always thought they are GTK apps :) Silly me :)
For libreoffice i use kde package and the theming is allright but not the icons. So is firefox, apart for icons in menu. The same happens for GIMP too.

EDIT: So, now i see that some entries in menus, let's say in GIMP, do use awoken icons (for new/open/save), some not. Probably because awoken icon-theme is not populated with icons that GIMP uses. Onyl in libreoffice that it is not the case. All icons there are of libreoffice.

FireFox uses their own toolkit XUL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL

LibreOffice uses vcl http://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl.html

Comfortable front-ends apart, have a look at these files:
Code: Select all
$HOME/.kde4/share/config/gtk-2.0
$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini


In my case, as I don't like having icons on menus and buttons, I also added these two lines to the two files to get an overall uniform appearance:
Code: Select all
gtk-button-images = 0
gtk-menu-images = 0


Hope that helps! :)
