Changing distribution branding icons #124

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try making a new icon theme from source
2. Change the value of the distribution from "gnome-colors" to "ubuntu"
3. See that the branding icon for the theme is still gnome-colors

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The capability of changing the branding icons

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GNOME-Colors 5.5 source on Ubuntu Jaunty

Please provide any additional information below.
I looked at the makefile and I can't find anything relevant. Is there 
really a built in way to change the distribution branding icons? How can we 
add custom distro icons when creating a new icon theme from source? :)

You shouldn't change the distribution values, all that is needed is to run make 
with
the "unbranded" switch.

It's not a way to change the branding, it only allows for the gnome-colors 
branding
to *not* be installed. Therefore, whatever branding you already have (ubuntu, 
fedora,
gnome's foot, etc) will be used instead.

Normally, you just need to run "make install-unbranded" or "make
user-install-unbranded". For more commands, you can type "make help".

Be sure to remove any previous version beforehand, otherwise any previously 
installed
branding will remain and you won't notice the change.
