I hope this is fixed and the icon sets are still in the next release, because they’re my two favourite after the Human icons.
kgoetz is the icon free? if its not, do you know which packages it is shipped in?
guyjohnston I assume you’re referring to the Ubuntu icon. As far as I know, it’s free as it’s in Main, and it’s in one or more of the packages ‘tango-icon-theme’, ‘tangerine-icon-theme’ and ‘tango-icon-theme-common’. Regardless of whether or not it’s free, I think it’ll be more appropriate to replace it with the gNewSense icon in those themes.
trentg I have these packages with a gNewSense logo at http://trent.gamblin.ca/gNewSense.
jorgejbe trentg, in your icon the gNewSense logo itself is very small (compared to the blue circle), and is hard to recognize. Can you make it bigger? Just for the record, to change the icon of the applications menu, the file that needs to be changed is /usr/share/icons/ICON_THEME/RESOLUTION/places/start-here.png
Anyone working on this bug? kgoetz
This is still present in gNS 1.9. The Ubuntu logo is also present in the Gnome, Crux, and Mist icon themes. MentalNotes
What about the artwork that briareoh made from the murrine engine, that should replace it, no? Ark74
I’ve tried to fix this bug, at least with the Tango icons. I’ve managed to get the gNewSense menu logo showing beside Applications but it’s not in the correct dimensions, it’s a little squashed up. There is a script in this package which converts svg to png but I think it’s expecting square icons instead of gNewSense’s rectangular one.
There is a Ubuntu specific rules file which is included into rules on build. This adds Ubuntu’s logo as the menu logo. This file is distro agnostic however but it needed to be copied and renamed to the values in lsb-release -si which are gNewSense.
Unfortunately I don’t know how to make a patch for a Debian package. So, here are the steps I’ve followed.
Get sources
* apt-get source tango-icon-theme
* apt-get source human-icon-theme
Copy gNewSense menu logo to correct place
* cd tango-icon-theme-0.8.1/debian
* mkdir -p scalable/gNewSense
* cp ../human-icon-theme-0.28gnewsense2/scalable/places/start-here.svg scalable/gNewSense
Copy Ubuntu override to one for gNewSense
* cp rules.Ubuntu rules.gNewSense
Add details of changes to Changelog
Build package
* dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
