Description: After installing the theme like any other, run the script with this command: cd ~/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/ && bash AnyColorYouLike
A monochrome icon theme that comes with a script to modify the icons.
I develop this icon theme on my free time because I find it interesting. But if you appreciate it and want to give something back, consider donating via paypal using the donate button.Last changelog:
* 0.9.4 2011-08-27 - 3 new filters: Orb, Grungy and Splatter. - A few more icons. - Bodhi logo added. - New trash icon. - Minor bugfix. - Icons should now work with the qt svg renderer.
* 0.9.3 2011-01-15 - 150+ new icons, most from the clarity theme. - Folders from web0. - 3 new filters: Quadratic, Bevel and Outline. - Text based interface dropped. - Some GUI changes. - Automatic offset option. - Some changes to the svg structure. - Checkboxes for apply settings. - One or two bugs fixed. - Included instructions for translation.
Not sure I understood this correctly, but isn't the idea being able to change the color of the theme? In that case: How do I actually do that? Change the color of the icons?
I have always intended to release at least one more version but I have not managed to make time for this project. I wrote a quick guide in this deviantart comment on how to add new icons to the theme. http://comments.deviantart.com/1/175624910/2430631013
Would it be possible to add a sunbird/iceowl icon? It's the only thing standing between me and my perfect desktop now. Again, thanks for the awesome work. I'll be donating for sure.
This project have been on hold for some time. However I'm considering working on it again soon.
These are calendar programs right? A quick fix could be just make a copy of the calendar.svg icon in ~/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.5/scalable/apps/ and name it correctly.
A tip for finding the correct name of the icons is locating them in the /usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/ folder and see what name they have there. Works most of the time.
What's the proper name of this theme to add to my .gtkrc-2.0.mine? I've tried both AnyColorYouLike and ACYL. Neither one works. Using gnome-appearance-propeties has no effect either.
I don't know how that works so I can't say anything for certain but you could give ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.5 a shot as that is the name of the folder. Good luck!
Hmmmm. I always thought that the name came from the "Name=" line in the index.theme file, which in this case is AnyColorYouLike, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks. Love your theme and hope I can get it working.
I have been using this icon set for a few months and
I love it. The only problem Ive had is with the geany terminator and dropbox icons, for some reason those three icons will not change. Do you know where geany, terminator and dropbox store their icons?
All three of them works without a problem for me. The icon location might be different for other versions of the programs in which case I don't know it.
I'm trying to install ACYL in ArchBang but the script is failing with a syntax error. I think it said in line 7. I'm just using the default openbox DE.
any thoughts?
it says...
File "/home/louis/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/script_gui.py", line 7
print "You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional."
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
and it's python 3.2.2
The script does NOT support python 3.xx. I think it would work if you install version 2.6 or a higher 2.xx. It should not be any problem having two version of python at the same time, but I recommend you look it up to see if there is something special that needs to be done.
If you do decide to install python 2.x you might have to tell the script what version it should use.
And here is a mini-guide on how to do that:
* Find the file script_gui.py in ~/.icons/Any_Color_You_Like_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/
* Edit the first line in a text editor, it should be something like #!/usr/bin/env python2.x when you are done. Where python2.x should match the version you have installed.
it might but since it's the only distro I'm having an issue with I think I will leave it alone. not sure I want two pythons installed anyway. :)
thanks for the info though :D
Heh, I just noticed from some older comments that you have changed versions in the script before so the last part of my previous post is somewhat redundant. But I guess it could be good for other people with similar problems. =)
Even changing #!/bin/python to #!/bin/python2.7 (which is installed on my Lubuntu 12.04, I keep getting these errors when running AnyColorYouLike:
You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional.
Some dependencies are missing!
The following ones are required:
gtk, gtk.glade, sys, os, subprocess,
shutil, gettext, ConfigParser
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pibarnas/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/script_gui.py", line 23, in <module>
sys.exit(1)
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined
Wouldn't be a good idea to provide a list of deps somewhere in order to the user install them?
Well, the script depends on the python modules listed in the error text. I don't know which packages they all originate from. But most of them should be pretty standard and come with an installation of python.
You should have the "sys" module if you have installed python. I have no idea why you get an error, although I have gotten this reported to me once before. It was on a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10. That time it seemed to solve itself after a reboot. Sorry I can't be of much help.
I had been using this theme then I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Now when I try to apply a new style, the terminal out puts "gnome-panel: no process found". I'm not sure if there's something I should be doing differently or not. Please let us know. Thanks.

Great theme! If you can't come back to it, could you write a tutorial on how to add to it and how it works? Aloha, m a r

What does it say exactly? And what version of python do you have?

Nevermind...complete fail on my part. There's no issue.
Hey Thanks for sharing your awesome work!! I like this :D Thanks Man :]
This theme was just what I needed to make this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=143075 My computer looks a lot more awesome now, thanks!
Good to hear you like them! Your gtk theme looks similar to my own, but I guess thats because we both use the HC engine. =)
