Heyas

After another fresh installation of LXDE via the F15 DvD where i have deselected Gnome 3 with only other DE activated LXDE.

Now the issue is simple, i miss icons, of folders, of pcmanfm, of "Lock Screen" and some other, however, Firefox, and other applications have theirs.

When it first happend, i thought i had accidently de-selected soemthing, now i'm unsure about it.
My Brute solution was to install EVERY icon theme available in the repo.

What i'm asking is: Which icon theme is the required one?
lxde-icon-theme.noarch?

If so, why isn't that installed with LX-DE automaticly?
Would i need to select something more during installation?

Thanks

Ok, now this really sucks..


seayum "LXDE Icon Theme\t\t" "lxde-icon-theme"
seayum "Icon Themese (many)\t\t" "root-icons ruby-icon-artist synce-trayicon tango-icon-theme tango-icon-theme-extras moblin-icon-theme mono-icon-theme nimbus-icon-theme nuvola-icon-theme gtrayicon elementary-icon-theme echo-icon-theme bicon-keymaps bluecurve-icon-theme oxygen-icon-theme" Where as seayum is equal to: sudo yum -y -q packages

Neither logout, nor reboot helped at all, i still dont see icons of:

pcmanfm
lockscreen
my USB stick
gedit
file manager
add/remove software
nepomuk
software update
task manager
language
printing
run
users & groups


:(

lol ok, after i 'replaced' the panel from bottom to the right, almost all icons are shown now (without additional relog/reboot).

However, the "run/execute" command icon, is that supposed to be a red cross?

Which icon theme is the required one?
lxde-icon-theme.noarch?
fedora-icon-theme, that is the 'Mist' theme from the gnome-themes package plus the Fedora logos.

If so, why isn't that installed with LX-DE automaticly?
Would i need to select something more during installation?
Because I am not allowed to add a dependency on fedora-icon-theme to the lxde-common package. fedora-icon-theme and fedora-logos contain trademarked artwork and thus must be replaceable by any other packages that provide the capability "system-icon-theme" and "system-logos".

Christoph

Ok the LXDE-icon-theme, fedora-icon-theme, and i guess oxygen-icon-theme since that's my default theme.

Danke Christoph

With Oxygen you might run into troubles as it is the KDE icon theme and the names don't always follow the XDG icon naming spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html). So you'll need fedora-icon-theme, too but not lxde-icon-theme.

In case you experience missing icons with Oxygen, make yourself a private version of the theme and let it fall back to the Fedora icon theme for missing icons:
mkdir -p ~/.icons/oxygen
cp /usr/share/icons/oxygen/index.theme ~/.icons/oxygen/
sed 's/^Inherits=hicolor/Inherits=hicolor,Fedora/g' ~/.icons/oxygen/index.theme
You can also make this change globally in /usr/share/icons/oxygen/index.theme but it will be overwritten when oxygen-icon-theme is upgraded.

Christoph
