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>
tango
industrial
galaxy
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.
- 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/galaxy/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 galaxy 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>
