Description: The bulidset GPL script is the backbone of the graphitekde icon packages. It is a GPL'd script that reduced time needed for iconset creation, testing, distribution, and downloading. For example, the original graphite iconset was approximately 20 MB. By using this script, the size of download is reduced to approximately 6 MB and the time to create and port new iconsets is drastically reduced.
README Run the buildset script Select your custom kmenu icon (xeyes is good) Wait for the icons to convert Wait for the tar.gz or tar.bz2 to build Install using kcontrol
Why the script? 6.5 MB versus about 20 MB. And the script can be used by icon artists! Just create your 128x128 icons then use the script to create the additional icons!
Added Info ------------------------------- The SuSE icon added to the package (apps/suse.png) is under BSD license by tkdesign-studio.com provided on kde-look.org. Additional icons provided by other icon packages with written / or distribution consent. The GPL'd buildset script is included in the package, as well as the separateLast changelog:
Changelog: 3.1 Added gentoo kmenu / buildset support. Improved the toolbar icons. 3.00 Slight fixes between 2 and 3, mainly little icons like kmail inbox/outbox/sent_mail. buildset script now supports different sizes in a variable (SIZES). Added some SuSE type value-add stuff. Like icons for SuSEwatcher and SuSEplugger. I'm not a SuSE user, so I don't even know what they're for.
2.x Internal Templates for all sets Fixed the script to support BSD too I hope. Added more icons and synced sets up together.
1.01 Fixes The script implicitly support whatever distribution you're using. Before I inserted absolute paths for the utilities, but now I am using a better method. I also commented the buildset script as well as created an added index.moreSizes.desktop file for kcontrol. You can look at the buildset script and see spots where you can add more sizes, I used 56x56 as an example. Since SVGs are not going to happen, I can at least provide this. Just keep in mind whatever sizes you specify, the index.desktop file will have to reflect that.
1.00 Initial release Rade8 packages are now using build scripts to limit the amount of obnoxious bandwidth these packages use. Added icons including (not limited to) kmixdocked, kmix_muted, new konqueror icons, changed save icon, apps/icons...
leo@nava:~$ /home/leo/kde-look/icons/SNOWE2Tangerine-RAD.E8-3.1/buildset This script builds an installable KDE iconset using bash and convert. Change what you want, add additional sizes, whatever... :) Checking for bzip2... found /usr/bin/bzip2 Checking for tar... found /bin/tar Checking for convert... found /usr/bin/convert Dependencies met - this script is using: /usr/bin/bzip2 as compressor /bin/tar as tar path /usr/bin/convert as convert path You get your choice of kmenu icons. Select from: gentoo, xeyes, redhat, mandrake, suse, openbsd, or nvidia and enter it now xeyes Using xeyes.png as your kmenu icon. Invalid selection (xeyes), exiting... leo@nava:~$ -------------------------------- i dont know whats wrong :( i really like this icons.
maybe there's a space or something in the filename when you entered it?
you can look for that spot in buildset, and just set KMENU_ICON to something, say:
KMENU_ICON="xeyes.png"
and proceed as normal.
the script will generate 96x96, 72x72, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 22x22, and 16x16 sizes by default. Once the tar.gz or tar.bz2 is created by the script and you install it. The default size is 64x64 for desktop and file manager related displays. You can change the size by selecting the tab at the top and change the default size, or override it actually. The .theme file inside the $HOME/.kde/share/icons/SNOx/ directory specifies the default sizes but you can overwrite the size in that tab. This includes the default size for "small" icons as well - useful if you have gigantic displays. :) Hth.

Industrial Beer Spillage theme with my tweaks. Just take the bubble.png file from Beer Spillage's gtk-2.0 directory, open it up with the gimp, unsaturate it and change its contrast... :)

Hi How did you brush GIMP2??? I couldn't find any gtk brush theme... :-(

Thanks a lot. BTW If you had (re-)made this nice theme, perhaps you colud upload it here (kde-look-> GTK Styles)...
I would, but I can't find the license IBS is distributed as! I'll search a bit longer though. I'll post it on gnome-look.org if i find out... :)
The third screenshot shows some recent icon additions for players like juk and amarok. -maitre
