wanna replace those redhat icons with bluehat icons?

I didn't like the RedHat icons that come with the Bluecurve theme that you can select from either GNOME of KDE in Fedora Core 3 so I changed the hue of the shadowman-round-48.png file to a blue color. I then replaced all of the icons that were red RedHat fedora's. A fedora is a type of hat. Like the hat that Indiana Jones wore. That's a fedora.

Anyway, if you want to get rid of the red icons in favor of blue ones I've attached the icon paths in a text file so you can back up what you have now and there is a tarball that's gzipped with all of the blue icons within complete with recursive paths.

All you have to do is open it with ark or file-roller and extract them to the destinations that they have with the option to overwrite what's there with the new ones. You have to be root to perform the extraction/overwrite.

Next you logout and then log back in. You should see the blue hat icon on your menu bar and you will see it during a reboot of Fedora as well as a small blue hat icon and a metallic panel. When or if you choose to add a panel with GNOME or a special button with KDE you will see the blue fedora icon in each utility.

If you check my uploaded wallpapers and screenshots you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

Clever. I like the red fedora myself.

Moved to How To.

For comparison... red then blue.

Another way to install the icons and an even safer way in case the icons are currently in use would be to do the three finger command to exit the X-Windows System session you are in as root

CTRL-ALT-F1

And then start mc, if you have it installed. It a opensource version of Norton Commander. Old school people will know what I mean....

I burned a CD and have them on a floppy so I can just copy them over in console mode using mc which is way easier than the cp or mv way.

To add mc from X in GNOME use "Add/Remove Applications" under "System Settings" from the main menu panel popup.

mc is located under the System > System Tools section. You click on the link to the right of it (Details) and then scroll down to "mc", click to put a check in the box to install that package.

Then click Close on the first panel and then Update on the main panel. You will be prompted for the FC CD to install it from.

the hat where a little bit too blue for my taste, i'd like it to have the same blue as the redhat network icon.
tried manipulating it myself in gimp, but graphics isn't my cup of tea ;-)
