STICKY: Missing icons and feature requests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Going through my menus, most icons are taken care of. Except for Mirage,
gtk-recordMyDesktop and Texmaker.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by wille...@gmail.com on 22 Jun 2009 at 8:37

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Let me add to this list:
AllTray
A Web Browser (Ubuntu's unbranded Firefox, package name is abrowser)
Chromium
Emacs
Firewall Builder
FontForge
Fyre
GNU Denemo
Google Earth
gtk-RecordMyDesktop
Guake
Gwget
Hugin
Mirage
Muse
MuseScore
Texmaker
Ubuntu Tweak
Wammu

Also, check out the applications that come with Ubuntu Studio. A lot of those 
need
some icons.

I'll take a look at those, there are some that can use existing icons.

Although just from a quick look, there are some that don't need them, for 
example
Fyre already has their own tango icons in all sizes. Others, like firefox (and 
it's
unbranded versions as well), ubuntu-tweak, etc. hardcode icons in some way or
another, so icons can't be added or there won't be icon consistency when using 
these
applications without the "extras" package. Things like Chromium, probably won't 
get
an icon until it is released stable under linux, and I hope they don't hardcode 
icons
like Firefox does or are otherwise opposed to their branding being modified.

I know some of these icons stick out like a sore thumb, but their upstream 
developers
should really switch to installing their icons in /usr/share/hicolor or create 
good
looking icons on their own. I don't mind creating official icons, so if their 
devs
contact me, I could do the same as when I made the new official icons for
gnome-mplayer and Comix.

I'll take a look at ubuntu-studio as well, so far I've only given full support 
to
Xubuntu out of all the Ubuntu derivatives.

Is there any live-cd for ubuntu-studio? I use virtualbox + livecd's to improve
coverage in other distributions, but an alternate-install DVD isn't really all 
that
friendly for just looking at menu-items and icon names without having to modify 
my
existing setup.

Original comment by perfectska04 on 22 Jun 2009 at 7:33

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I guess you could use the normal Ubuntu Live CD and install 
ubuntustudio-desktop,
although the changes would evaporate every time you use it. You could install 
it in
VirtualBox though, if you have enough space and don't mind it being there.

Original comment by claysmal...@gmail.com on 22 Jun 2009 at 11:04

Thanks for the tip, I'll try doing that. Installing a DVD in virtualbox from my
laptop takes an unholy amount of time, but I guess it's faster to install the
metapackage from a regular livecd.

Original comment by perfectska04 on 22 Jun 2009 at 11:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just did an install of ubuntustudio-desktop, but everything seems themed 
properly. I
didn't see any extra applications left unthemed, maybe the DVD content is 
different.

Amazing job on your icons, perfectska04. Thank you a lot for your hard work.

Okay, so here is my wishlist for missing icons:

Chromium
Gaupol Subtitle Editor
GNU Octave
gtk-gnutella
LyX
Maxima / wxMaxima
Mednafen / Mednafenfe
Nicotine+
pSX
Pybliographic
Qalculate!
ScummVM
Wammu
Zim Desktop Wiki
ZSNES

What about some place for people suggesting their wishlist for missing icons? 
Maybe
renaming this issue to something like "STICKY: Missing icons" and keeping this 
issue
always open?

Original comment by rwnobrega on 25 Jun 2009 at 6:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'll leave this thread open for any future requests.

I'll just leave a few guidelines, though... Since I am just one person and can't
possibly make icons for every application out there or make the package far too 
large
for distribution, please take in mind the following:

1. Only suggest applications that can be themed (i.e. they don't hardcode their 
own
icons in the titlebar or anywhere else like firefox and many others do). It 
affects
consistency when an application shows one icon, but the system shows something 
else.

2. No games/emulators, there are far too many - and usually games ship their own
icons, and for emulators you can find Tango icons of consoles in Deviantart, 
Tango
Fridays page, or the gnome-icon-theme-extras package.

3. Applications that can use existing icons will take priority as they can be 
done
rather quickly. You can just write something like: "Text Editor X can use the
existing Text Editor icon. The menu editor/alacarte shows that the icon name 
used for
this menu item is 'text-editor.png', add a link to Text Editor X"

4. No alpha/beta applications (Chromium) or applications that are not in your
distribution's repositories (Usually Fedora, Opensuse or Ubuntu's).

And well, that's pretty much it. With those guidelines adding more icons should 
not
cause too many problems and they can be added rather quickly.

All right, let's see. :)

Mirage (mirage) can use the Eye of GNOME icon (eog).

gtk-recordMyDesktop (gtk-recordmydesktop) can use the Istanbul icon (istanbul) 
from
Tango Friday November 10th
(http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Fridays#Friday_November_10th I'm not sure 
where
to get the source, but you might know?)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks willemvb, that was really helpful. Ok, I made Mirage use the same icon 
as EOG,
which is already used for other image viewers in gnome-colors. Mirage hardcodes 
it's
own icons, so there will be inconsistencies - but the included icon is so ugly 
that
I'll overlook it this time.

As for gtk-recordmydesktop, perhaps I'll wait a little longer and create a 
simple
icon on my own. It could then be used by other recording applications as well.

Guake is a top-down terminal (like Tilda), so can use the terminal icon.

Hugin is a panorama stitcher. Maybe a wide version of the image mimetype icon? 
Or
wide picture with a generic landscape. (To be honest, the image mimetype icon 
has
never felt very Tangoish to me.)

Qalculate! is calculator and can use that icon.

ScummVM is a set of emulators, so I guess that's a won't fix? Or are you only
excluding machine/console/device emulators?

-Guake uses their own folder for ther icons and images. Can't use the terminal 
icon.

-I'll go through Qalculate! soon, as it is further down the list. If it can be
themed, I'll add a calculator for it.

-ScummVM falls under games/emulators. It's not that I have anything against 
them, but
there are simply far too many games and emulators out there to make an icon for 
each
of them.

GNOME Multimedia Systems Selector and EasyTag lost their icon in a recent 
update.

Original comment by hansrodt...@gmail.com on 26 Jun 2009 at 5:13

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'll look into the multimedia systems selector, but I won't be adding back 
EasyTag
icons as the application hardcoded their own all over the place. If it was 
similar
icons it'd be alright, but the tag icons and EasyTag's were too different to 
have any
sort of icon consistency for that application - same with Picard.

Wishlist: KeepassX, AllTray, PyRoom and Prism if it is possible, it is by 
Mozilla so
probably not.

Also, mail-notification needs a makeover. If you enable the always show icon 
option
it displays (/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/stock/net/stock_inbox.png) and when 
it has
new mail it shows the generic internet-mail icon. My wish is that it could use
indicator-messages.png for when you have no mail and indicator-messages-new.png 
when
you have mail. Like the indicator-applet.

Thanks for considering new additions.

I would like to request another icon theme variation. What I'm thinking of is
GNOME\Hicolor icon theme a la GNOME-Colors. Basically Brave (blue), with tan 
folders. 

I've been trying to do this on my own, with limited success. The scalable icons 
are
fine but lose much in scaling down. Without the source svgs for the smaller 
icons,
I'm unable to complete this on my own.

Attached is a screenshot and a sample folder icon. You'll notice I also 
replaced the
navigation icons with the ones from Wise (green) for a little more color (kinda
Tango-ish).

The cogwheel for System Tools in the main menu seems to have disappeared. Please
bring it back?

Same for the System emblem, which now shows a monitor when it's applied to a 
folder,
but the default cogwheel when I right-click and navigate to the Emblems tab?

@willemvb can you take a screenshot? I added new system emblem and system icons 
a few
days ago, you should be seeing the new icons now. Are you using the PPA or the
.tar.gz package?

@jeffmhubbard
I already tried that color palette, but it didn't look good at all with 
gnome-colors
design. It would look good in a different, mixed set - like you're proposing.

The source for action and device icons are gnome, so you can just get the 
smaller
size svg's by running: 
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-icon-theme

Now, the source for devices and most other new icons is from the new branch of
gnome-icon-theme:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-icon-theme/tree/src?h=one-canvas

If you need any gnome-colors original icon like folders, etc that aren't in the 
links
above, just let me know which ones you need and I'll try to organize and 
package them up.

@7kTech
Prism is mozilla, so yeah... Hardcoded icons. I'll take a look at the rest 
later tonight.

I wasn't intending to use the whole GNOME palette. I'm pretty ignorant on the 
use of
a palette anyways (in practice). I just want to change the folders. I'd be 
grateful
if you could send me the source files for the folders (see attachment for 
list). Then
I'll just inherit=gnome-brave.

Thanks

I'm attaching a the folder sources. I'm very disorganized when it comes to
development assets, so I only keep the source objects I use to make icons 
rather than
the complete rendering - as I do the derivative icons in GIMP.

For example, I've attached all sources to the kinds of folders that are used to
create folder and folder-based icons in all sizes, but for example
add-folder-to-archive is a composite icon I make in GIMP using 
gnome-icon-theme's
open package icon and gnome-icon-theme's go-jump icon recolored to wise 
palette. To
make this icon, you just overlap the three different sources (a small folder, a 
small
open package, and a go-jump icon) in a simple image and export. I know it's an
old-fashioned way compared to drawing the small sizes entirely in SVG, but I 
find it
easier to work like this.

Any update on the missing system tool sicon? Perhaps a restart or an icon cache
reload may help.

@7kTech
I don't think I can change the icons mail-notification uses, since other 
applications
use them as well expecting them to be their usual context. It would be best to
contact the mail-notification devs and let them know they could use better 
suitable
icons from gnome-icon-theme.

As for AllTray, it supports icon theming. I just need to figure out what kind 
of icon
might work for it.

KeepassX is a QT/KDE app, so we won't go there for reasons stated earlier. As 
for
pyroom, I was going to make an icon for it since it seemed simple enough - but I
noticed it uses its own custom folder in /pixmaps/pyroom so it can't be themed 
even
if I add icons for it.

Also, I want to do an icon for Empathy since they only ship blurry downscaled 
pixmaps
of their scalable icons. It seems Ubuntu  will use Empathy instead of Pidgin, 
anyone
has any suggestion for a good looking Empathy icon?

I was thinking something like a chat bubble along the lines of the current
xchat-gnome icon, but any other suggestions are fine - there's still time until 
Karmic.

@jeffmhubbard
Look at the "Downloads" section, there's a nice little surprise for you in a 
package
called "extras-gnome-tribute".

Took me about two hours to make it, and you need to have gnome-brave installed 
for it
to work, but it looks really nice and pays tribute to gnome-icon-theme which is 
the
basis for almost all GNOME-Colors icons.

It's also nice as an alternative to all the blue in gnome-brave, although keep 
in
mind that it's just a fun little extra icon set, it is not part of gnome-colors 
and
probably won't be developed any further than it is now.

Enjoy!

perfectska04, thanks for rapid releases of the icons :-)

How about some Fedora icons? For example:

In System Tools-
1. Palimpsest Disk Utility
2. SELinux Policy Generation Tool
3. Network Device Control
4. SELinux Troubleshooter

In System > Administration
1. Authentication
2. Firewall
3. Network
4. Network Device Control
5. Root Password
6. SELinux Management

I'll be available if you want more info on the matter :-)

@muhd5802

Actually, I had created simple original icons for all the SELinux' in the past, 
but
it was useless as the menu items didn't change at all.

As for Firewall, I already provide an icon for that. However, due to some 
unknown
gnome/gnome-panel bug, it won't show my icon unless you follow the steps in this
related issue: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/issues/detail?id=14

Logical volume can't be themed, it's hardcoded.

Neat or the "Network" entry already has an icon, I think it's fixed in the 
latest
uploaded version or in my current upstream copy. As for neat-control (network 
device
control) I'll add an icon once I find one - I don't think there's an icon for 
network
configuration in the set.

Root password already has an icon in the set - the iron shield.

I won't add palimpset because they have tons of icons in hicolor, If I make one 
with
a gnome-colors hard drive I'd have to make icons for all the other palimpset 
ones.

Par/Par2 type parity file icons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A .gpg/.pgp file and sources.list icons would be would be appreciated. They are 
pretty common file types when 
working with software sources. For the PGP, a key or something would probably 
be a good metaphor.

Original comment by hansrodt...@gmail.com on 28 Jun 2009 at 8:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@abirkel
Sorry, I could never come up with an appropriate metaphor for Par/Par2... And I
really had trouble drawing the DNA strand design you had suggested. For now, I 
think
a generic package icon works fine unless I come up with something in the future.

@hansrodtang
I think pgp, gpg, asc is doable. Add a lock or a a key emblem depending on the
mimetype and call it a day. As for sources.list, I don't think there's a good
metaphor for it - I would need to add a globe and a CD or a globe and a package 
to
represent it, but the mimetypes all have only one item for emblems, anything 
else is
hard to draw in small sizes and creates visual clutter.

Original comment by perfectska04 on 28 Jun 2009 at 9:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm packaging already packaging the next release, so the pgp/gpg/asc icons 
won't make
it until the next one (probably 3-4 days).

Also, I've redone almost all the so-so looking icons except for only 5-10 more, 
so if
I'm done with those sometime next week, there'll be a lot of time to look into 
new
icons and longer time between updates - as the current ones are almost complete 
and
GNOME 2.27 hasn't introduced anything that would break them.

Original comment by perfectska04 on 28 Jun 2009 at 9:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well, you could try a broken disk (HD spindle or stack, or CDs) as an icon 
(since
they are used to repair broken files). This would make the job a bit easier as 
you
already seem to have stacked CD icons (coming out of the CD-ROM drive icon). 
All that
would be left to do would be to somehow "break" them.

Just an idea.

@abirkel
From what I understand, PAR files are like files that help repair other files or
packages. Can the patch icon be used for them as well?

The current patch icon is a file with the red cross emblem, which medical
connotations aside, is a metaphor for repairing/fixing, making something 
healthier.
Do you think the text-x-patch icons can be used for PAR files as well? 

If so, do you happen to know the naming specs? I just made a test .par2 file and
after right-clicking > properties it tells me (application/x-par2) which is 
fine for
.par2 files, but how about .par or other .par filetypes? The other extensions 
don't
seem to be registered, only .par2 shows me a package and gives me the correct 
naming
spec.

Original comment by perfectska04 on 29 Jun 2009 at 1:04

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You are right, and your suggestion sounds great. I had never noticed that icon 
before
- my mistake!

Par files are a "legacy" spec, so to speak - I haven't seen them in use for a 
while
and was unaware that they aren't registered. For now only par2 is fine in my 
opinion.
I will look into the par'1' issue however.

Original comment by abir...@gmail.com on 29 Jun 2009 at 4:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@abirkel
No problem, if you can confirm if par2 is the only necessary mimetype, I'll 
just add
the syslink as I have the necessary information.

Until the next update, you can make the syslinks yourself so you don't miss out 
in
the meantime.

Something like

ln -s text-x-patch.svg application-x-par2.svg
ln -s text-x-patch.svg gnome-mime-application-x-par2.svg

for the scalable mimetypes folder and

ln -s text-x-patch.png application-x-par2.png
ln -s text-x-patch.png gnome-mime-application-x-par2.png

for the rest of the other sizes should work just fine, and is probably what 
I'll do
unless more file extensions for PAR are needed.

No problem, they also shouldn't really need to be updated or modified unless the
current folders or actions are all redesigned, so you can keep using it with the
latest gnome-brave from the tarballs, the PPA's or the new SVN with versioning
history and the latest changes.

Sorry for the late response. I was enjoying my internet-free holiday. :)

And some very beautiful new icons again to come back to too!

The screenshot below shows the system emblem problem. On the left is the emblem
selected in the emblems tab of the properties window, on the right it is as 
shown in
the Nautilus browser window.

This is after several restarts and both "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache
/usr/share/icons/gnome-human/" and "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache
/usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common/".

It happens in the other colour variants too.

I've just tried some other themes, and it happens in Tangerine, and High 
Contrast
Inverse too, but not in Human, GNOME or GNOME-Alternative.

Can you try
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/gnome-brave
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/gnome-colors-common
sudo killall nautilus

The -qf variable makes it forcefully update any existing cache version quietly. 
The
third command simply closes nautilus, so if you run it again, maybe the problem 
is
gone? I don't seem to have the same issue, although I'm using SVN (which doesn't
depend on gnome-colors-common yet so perhaps there's some emblem inheritance 
issue
going on?)

Nevermind, I just tested with the PPA and that issue does happen. All the links 
and
icons are properly set, but it seems like a nautilus bug.

If you install from the tarball  or SVN, you won't get this issue. But it seems 
that
for the PPA, which uses a common library - nautilus is using the wrong icons for
emblems. For example, It's using the "system.png/svg" icon instead of
"emblem-system.png/svg". This only seems to happen when an icon set inherits 
from
another one as the PPA does.

It only seems to affect the "system" and "important" emblems, though. I made the
"important" emblem consistent with the icon that appeared a few revisions ago, 
so
that's why only the system emblem looks out of place. Hopefully this minor 
issue gets
fixed by Karmic, as gnome-colors will probably start shipping a common file as 
well,
and the tarballs/SVN will have this issue then.

Or alternately, I can work around it by setting the computer icon as the system
emblem. We'll see.

I'd rather you didn't. If it's a bug, it needs to get squished, not worked 
around.
I'll head over to bugzilla and file a bug report if there isn't one already.
