Fedora Core 5 Icons

Wheat_Thins · 04-07-2006, 11:00 AM

Why is that the only icons I can select for my custom launchers are in the /usr/share/pixmaps? If I try to browse to any other folders every selectable icon is listed but greyed out so it cannot be selected?

Are there some kind of security settings that can modified to fix this?

Thanks in Advance!

When you get to a directory with images, press enter and they will be shown.

Hitting enter doesnt do anything

They still stay greyed out so I can't pick them.

You navigate to the directory that has the images you want to use and all the icons will be greyed out. In the box that shows which directory you are in, put your mouse cursor there and press enter. After that the directory of images will refresh and you will be able to choose the icons from that directory.

Since about late 1999, but I didn't take it seriously until about 2002.
