Woops, missed the explanation... The freedesktop icon specs specify that default icons should be installed like this: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/warzone2100.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ghex.svg And referred to like this: $ grep Icon /usr/share/applications/warzone2100.desktop Icon=warzone2100 $ grep Icon /usr/share/applications/ghex.desktop Icon=ghex http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html In this way, other icon themes can override default icons with icons more suited to their theme. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
