Change icons in pcmanfm [Solved]

mallow005 · 2006-07-30 03:26:29

Hello everyone,

I installed pcmanfm but I'm trying to get rid of the gnome default icons. If I go into preferences, it only sees "gnome" for icons. If I change it in my gtkrc-2.0 (gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango") it has no effect after restarting. Does anyone know what I have to do to change icons in it?

It uses gnome-icon-themes so you should be able to change it some how. I just tryed changing my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and that didnt work.

i had the same problem with 0.2.4 so either go back to 0.2.3 or use the new beta.

The beta works.
pkgname=pcmanfm
pkgver=0.3.0
pkgrel=beta
pkgdesc="An extremely fast and lightweight file manager which features tabbed browsing and user-friendly interface"
url="http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/"
depends=('gtk2' 'cairo' 'shared-mime-info' 'fam' 'gnome-icon-theme')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
license="GPL"
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/pcmanfm/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-beta.tar.gz)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/${pkgname}-$pkgver-$pkgrel
sh configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

well, a simple method would be to close pcmanfm, then open your .pcmanfm/main file and edit the thing from gnome to Tango. simple as that

Can you tell me the line to put in there? I tried that before but all I see is this:

[General]
showSidePane=1
[Window]
width=640
height=480
splitterPos=211

[General]
iconTheme=Tango
terminal=aterm
[Window]
width=724
height=413
splitterPos=160

I tried editing main to set the iconTheme to Tango and it did not work. I installed the beta 3.0 and it still doesn't work. I tried through preferences and through the main file. If I change it manually in the main file, in the preferences dialogue it comes up as blank and only "gnome" is an option.

I have Tango icons and tango icons extras installed and verified in my /usr/share/icons.

I stick any icons I download in .icons in my /home/<user> dir.

easy to try 'em out first that way....

If you change the icons through ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with version 0.3-beta it works fine. Just copy your icons into ~/.icons

mallow, makr definitely sure pcmanfm isnt running BEFORE/WHEN u open your .pcmanfm/main file.

mallow005 · 2006-07-31 17:27:48

Yes, I know. It doesn't work if I change the main file and the option doesn't show under preferences.

Changing .gtkrc-2.0 works now. Solved!
