There's only one question. How will you convert ALL icons at the Software Center? And... WHY? I mean, it's nice to repair those related with Lubuntu or those most used with Ubuntu, Why doing so heavy work?
And no, I haven't any script. I do everything manually. Except symbols, Andjelkovic does that (and glyphs, indicators, and everything smaller than 24px :P ). -- Rafael Laguna Lubuntu Artwork Team 2013/12/29 Israel <israeld...@gmail.com> > Ah... you sent this when I was typing my e-mail. > I am glad to hear others are working on fixing this issue! > Are you working on making symbolic links, or some automated script (kinda > like what I am attempting), or something totally different? > Eric has sorted out the main 2 issues. > 1. bad Icon= path > 2. xpm sized too large > > I can only see 3 (realistically)possible solutions. > 1. script to fix the icons > 2. symbolic links to the real icons > 3. automated conversion and fixing of desktop files (possibly on a larger > Ubuntu community scale... not just Lubuntu) > > I guess it might be time to find out if Xfce/Gnome/Unity has this problem, > though wrong icon paths will affect every respin, I suppose... if not there > may be a solution in another DE already for the wrong icon paths.
