2 icons related questions..


Hi guys

I have a bit of a problem since installing a new icon pack for my kubuntu drapper. first of all a simple question. is it possible to change a specific icon within a icon pack, for example i love the new icon pack ive installed (nuvoX) yet a few of them (krdc, amarok artist icon) are really not my taste. ive looked all over my compuet but couldnt find anywhere to change it. is it possible to change specific icons for specific programs?

second question is that since my installament if the nuvoX theme ive lost all my amarok folder covers (amarok has a feature that the folder would be represented by the album cover). all i get is a blank inseatd of a folder and the folder name below. ive tried reverting to the crystal (default) theme but it didnt help...does anyone know how to solve this for all folders (ive got 50,0000 songs so manually editing each folder is not possible), i would just like to get the default folder back instead of a big blank!

thx alot guys

Ah yes, you haven't installed any icons theme by yourself yet.
Go to art.gnome.org OR www.gnome-look.org to download some, there are many greate theme icon pack there if you want edit the current theme, you can go to /usr/share/icons, but I prefer downloading another icon pack and edit it rather su as root to edit the default icons

Oh, sorry, I didn't read that.
Anyway, I don't quite sure about where KDE place those icons.
But if you have download the icon pack, I am sure that you can use ark to open it, take a file name and search your home folder for it.
