Hi.

I'm trying to customise the Galaxy theme by replacing the rather cumbersome 'sticky' icon supplied with the theme, with the rather more attractive one from the 'Glow' theme. However, I've run into a few problems!

I downloaded the Galaxy and Glow source and inspected the pngs that contain the images. I noticed that the Glow pngs were 19x19 and the Galaxy ones were 16x16 so I adjusted the Glow pngs accordingly. Then I replaced the relevant png files in the Galaxy source with the ones I wanted from the Glow source. Then I went through the usualy ./configure; make; make install procedure and logged out and logged into KDE. But it didn't work! I got this:
Sticky off -
Sticky on -

Then I tried opening the original Galaxy pngs and in Gimp cutting and pasting the Glow images into the Galaxy files. Then recompile, install and logout login. This time I got this:
Sticky off -
Sticky on -

What's happening?! Why can't I just replace the pngs with different ones of the same type and size? Is there something I'm missing?

I'm running Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1.3. Galaxy source is 0.9.4, Qt is 3.1.2.

Thanks,
Chris
