Description: This is my first Gnome icon theme. It's based on mattahan's great icon set, GANT. I tried to fit in as much as possible, hunting down all of mattahans' releases and combining them into one.
Some icons might be missing for one of two reasons. They may not exist, as big as the GANT set is some icons are still lacking. Another reason is that I might have overlooked it. If the reason an icon is missing is due to me, please let me know.
I would like to thank mattahan for his permission.
I hope that you will like this theme as much as I do.
NOTICE: -------------------------------- Rename the file from gargantuan_tar.bz2 to gargantuan.tar.bz2 Blame Deviantart.com
NEW: --------- Added a GDM Theme
What do you guys think of the spinner? Too flashy, or is it ok?Last changelog:
--thanks Paul for bringing this to my attention:
on his machine the c and cpp icons did not work, so I added:
gnome-mime-text-x-chdr gnome-mime-text-x-csrc
------
added throbber/spinner for nautilus added many device icons
i usually prefer themes like tango or gion but this one is really great, i hope soon there will be everey icon needed but even like this is a great work, gratz to you and manhattan
Thanks for your time. I appreciate so much this work, and every individual that understands Gnome-GNU-Desktop here must do it.
I preffer more "serious" icon themes -not toonish- but this is the most long life icon theme in my self-paranoic-theme-me-for-intellectual-comfort desktop.
The most notable thing is a good "proffesional" look. Much of the best remarked icon themes doesn't have that -its very difficult, I know- but this -icon- theme goes beyond all marks.
NOTE:Put best screenshots here, IMO
-Every one- excuse my poor English.
If you experience that the back and forward buttons in nautlius are not the ones from the theme just do this:
Go inside the folder of the theme. Get inside the folder 128x128 .. then stock folder.
Look inside, you wil find 2 icons named gtk-go-forward.png and gtk-go-back.png, just create a copy of them and rename them:
gtk-go-forward-ltr.png and gtk-go-back-ltr.png
...It works like a charm
gotta love matts icons, thanks for making this set for us linuxers :) the only set I've been using for quite some time now...can never switch again, never
Thx for this icons. It's a great icon :) But there are some bug. I am not sure. But I get this report when i use this icons:
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:23: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "gtk-bookmarks.png"
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:24: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "gtk-bookmarks.png"
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:53: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "gtk_zoom-100.png"
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:54: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "gtk_zoom-fit.png"
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:55: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "gtk_zoom-in.png"
/usr/share/themes/Glossy P/gtk-2.0/icons/iconrc:56: Unable to locate image file
So i try to fix it by my self:
- rename gtk-bookmark.png to gtk-bookmarks.png
- edit in icons/iconrc begin line 53 - line 56
- rename gtk_zoom-100.png to gtk-zoom-100.png
- rename gtk_zoom-fit.png to gtk-zoom-fit.png
- rename gtk_in-100.png to gtk-zoom-in.png
- rename gtk_zoom-100.png to gtk-zoom-out.png
Sorry if I wrong. I'm newbie for linux. Thx. God Bless
I am using ubuntu and had read the instruction. I get that error and I think it's can be happen for any distro cause something missing at the iconrc. Please check out it at line 23, line 53 - line 56 Something missing with that line and the image name. Please check it.
Sorry if i wrong. Thx
Sorry, it is not Metacity; but rather it is Openbox. And that theme is on my site. If you are not using/don't want to use openbox. A good window border theme for metacity is this: http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/710

well done, all icons look wonderful! :)
but I have a problem: I can see all your icons but the gtk-go-back and the gtk-go-forward ones (I see the classic two Gnome icons in exploration file windows).I'm using Ubuntu 5.04. can you help me?
I love the GANT icons! You should mix in some umicons though for certain apps (like realplayer, xmms, etc). Also, where can I find that metacity theme in your screenshot?

What Metacity theme are you using in the screenshot 1? The GTK+ is Graphite 1.2 , isn't?

Read the "DON"T READ ME" file in the tarball. It gives instructions on how to edit the gtkrc in your selected theme to get the stock icons working.
He he... what he said :)
maybe i should just change it to "Read Me"
thanks, it's perfect now. :)
