Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

I ran it with root privileges, without root privileges, in the console, in KDE, etc.  I exited X and then started again, I rebooted, etc.  I've done everything I can think of.  Permissions for the icons are 644, which should be okay.  I don't know what to do at this point.  I've thought about installing the AUR package firefox-branded, but it installs additional packages that I don't need (e.g. gnome stuff).  This is driving me nuts so any adivce would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Edit:  How do I "refresh" desktop menus in KDE4?

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

"Refresh" was just my term for like, killing X and logging in again smile Just so that the icons are (re)loaded on the desktop and the menus.

Sorry, I don't know what the problem could be (atm).

EDIT: BTW, do the icons in /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/chrome/icons/default/ look alright?

Hi all.  New Arch user here.  Just ran this script and it worked, but only for the root user.  My everyday user is still using generic icons.  Any suggestions?

What command did you actually run when using the script?  Did the entire script complete.

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

No, it was just never put on the AUR. The first post is a bit misleading, I guess. Skip down to the bold text in that post.

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

I've updated this to FF 3.6:
I just changed these strings: FIREFOXDIR, FIREFOXSTRING and FIREFOXSTRINGPREFS

#!/bin/sh
#
# firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompilation
#
#
# This script replaces and changes (a few) files in an existing firefox 
# installation. Run it after a firefox installation or upgrade, and restart 
# firefox. The program icon may not be (visibly) replaced until your desktop 
# environment is restarted.
#
# To revert to the original brand, simply reinstall firefox.
#
# Dependencies: curl, zip, unzip
#

#FIREFOXDIR: Where firefox's data files resides.

# Gran Paradiso:
FIREFOXDIR=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6
FIREFOXSTRING="Namoroka"
FIREFOXSTRINGPREFS="Namoroka"

NEWICONSDIR=""                              # If empty, the script uses a temporary directory for the replacement icons.
                                            # If you want to avoid downloading the icons every time you rebrand firefox,
                                            # point NEWICONSDIR to a suitable directory.

SOURCEBASE="http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source" # The URL under which the "other-licenses" directory resides.

@nawitus: Thanks for the update! But did you test if mekwalls version works? It should be able to cope without the string changes.

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

Thanks for this!  I used Mekwall's version on a brand new, clean, 3.6 x86_64 install within KDE4and it worked without a hitch (once I'd installed zip as the script helpfully pointed out it needed).

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

Use mekwalls version (as I link to in the first post), it works with 3.6.

EDIT: ...and is more general than other versions.

Yes it is generally considered the best version so far.

Re: firebrand - a script to brand firefox without recompiling

For some reason my firefox icon in the netbook more of KDE 4.4 still shows the generic icon, as does the bouncing icon when firefox is loading. Everywhere else looks fine, and this happens even after a reboot.

Any ideas?
