Description: I found these nice cpu-frequency icons in the Human icon theme, and wanted to share them with everyone.
The icons originally only displayed a static green cpu regardless of cpu frequency. I made them so that they now also change color according to frequency.
As root, copy the new files to /usr/share/pixmaps/cpufreq-applet/
For me is so great because the quoter's are more clear to see!
For those who use standard size of bar - 24pix- u can just copy the icons in cpubar directory. Thank you!
Is it possible to use this icons without being super-user?
I tried to create a ~/.pixmaps/cpufreq-applet folder, but that didn't work...
If someone can help me, I appreciate.
I killed it now from my last Version (1.07), because it's senseless to have this in a Icon-Set. These Icons in a Icon-Set don't takes effect and makes the Icon-Set for some Kilobytes bigger. You now that upload a big package is quite horrible if you have only a regular internet-speed :) Thank you for letting them alive this kind and I think it was a good compromise and idea :D
I wanted include new and maybe better ones in the next version, but I think this thematic is now taken by other artists and I hope there will have many different version for it :) Very well ...
Well its my honor to keep it alive. Now it can live on as an independent icon theme. And thanks for your idea about changing the cpu color. It makes all the difference.
Wouldn't it be cool if the CPU image itself changed colour when the load increases? Start with icy-blue and go red, orange, yellow or something when the load goes up!?
hmmm....i'll get right on that. Not a bad idea! What do you think is better, to have the cpu change colour accordingly with the level bar on the bottom or without it?
Now you have the responsibility for it :D You should use Gimp for recolouring and scaling, because it will take a smoother effect ;) Select all, copy, delete, make the picture size to 24x24 and insert this Icon from your memory. Now scale it down to 96x96, then to 48x48 and finally to 24x24. Crtl+H and you have it! ;) Test it and make some corrections by hand if necessary. Good luck :)
