xfce_icon_theme -> gtk_icon_theme?

[daniele favara]

i'm not sure i got what you mean here but tango provides icon naming
that means you can play with it.

This is a list of the icons i think that could be used:

(lx xfce icons | rx tango icons)

i'll need to have a working tango icons theme that's why i made this simple app:

tango-icon-browser:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/dss/dss-packages/tango-icons-browser/

the tango icons and icon-naming-utils are needed, the python script
opens the file:

/usr/share/icon-naming-utils/legacy-icon-mapping.xml

an ex:
<icon name="preferences-desktop-theme">
  <link>gnome-settings-theme</link>
  <link>style</link>
</icon>

if xfce don't want to use "preferences-desktop-theme" but maintain
"xfce4-ui" ... maybe it's possible to ask if people from tango-project
could add

<icon name="preferences-desktop-theme">
  <link>gnome-settings-theme</link>
  <link>style</link>
  <link>xfce4-ui</link>     <!-- ------ this icon - -->
</icon>

then, to have an xfce-icon-theme that can be compatible with tango, it
will be just necessary to add the correct links.

what do you think ?

i'll wait your answer , i would even tell that within the xml file the icon

system-installer

is not defined.
