Icon Repository for the Applications

All of the icons, separated by themes are included in this directory. These icons are built into .zip files, and re-ordered / packed for efficiency reasons based on our UI configuration by the postprocess/CustomTarget_images.mk.

An icon theme does not need to contain all images, since these can be layered one on top of another.

In general the layering is done like this:

<leaf theme>
breeze
colibre

How to Add a New Image Set

• Create a directory for it here (let's call it e.g. new_set)

  FIXME: It is important to use an underscore _ to delimit more words. scp2 compilation crashes when using a dash -. It evidently splits the name into two strings.

  • It's probably not true anymore with filelists.
  • if this gets changed, IconThemeSelector::SetPreferredIconTheme needs to change too

• Add its name (new_set) to WITH_THEMES variable in configure.ac

• The fallback for particular icons is defined be packimages_CUSTOM_FALLBACK_1 in packimages/CustomTarget_images.mk

How to Add a New Icon for a New Command

• Assume you defined a dispatch command in officecfg like the following:

in officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/CalcCommands.xcu

<node oor:name=".uno:OpenFromCalc" oor:op="replace">
    <prop oor:name="Label" oor:type="xs:string">
        <value xml:lang="en-US">~Open...</value>
    </prop>
    <prop oor:name="Properties" oor:type="xs:int">
        <value>1</value>
    </prop>
</node>

Here, you need to define a property named "Properties", with its value set to 1 so that the icons show up.

• Now, you need to add 2 new icon images under icon-themes/colibre/cmd/, one for the large size and one for the smaller size. The name of each image must be lc_<command name>.png and sc_<command name>.png. Here, the command name is the name given in the above .xcu file without the .uno: prefix and all its letters lower-cased. In this example, the file names will be lc_openfromcalc.png and sc_openfromcalc.png. Note that you need to add new images to the colibre theme for them to show up in any themes at all.

How to Call optipng to Optimize Size

8 bit palettes are on the slow path for quartz/svp/gtk3 so avoid using palettes with...

$ optipng -nc <file>
