Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my created iconset? (attached file)
 

Hi all!

I tried making my own "iconset" by using an example iconset from kdelook.org but everytime i try to import/use my
iconset i get a mix of my creation and crystal
i used vista inspirate as a Template and changed most of the icons (in all size sets)
to my own PNG's with the exact same names, size and png extension.
i posted a while ago about building an iconset with not much response so
i am assuming that the index.desktop file is the one that tells kde the icon info.
i am posting below mine, can anyone go over it and see its ok (im only posting the first part)

thx Zeltak

Your icon set is not complete, so this part
makes it inherit the missing icons from Crystal. If you do not like Crystal, change that to some other icon theme you have installed e.g. on my system I am using Oxygen icon preview and inherit missing icons from nuvola. In the Oxygen icons index.theme I have

thx for the answer reddazz!


i did what you suggested and it worked well yet i dont understand why there are icons missing. what i did was take the iconset Vista-Inspirate_1.0 and replaced in each size the selected png's i didnt want with ones i created (about 25% in each size 22x22, 32x32 etc...). i gave them the exact name and file type (png). i havnt changed anything apart from that, why isnt it working? can you think of anything else i should do?


thx alot for your help

I think the best place to get help with this issue, would be kde-artists.org.
