(Mdk 8.2) (tip originates from Scapegoats/Dolson) Last edited by JeroenM on Tue Jul 02, 2002 8:43 am, edited 1 time in total rolf Moderator Joined: 16 Apr 2002 Posts: 968 Location: Oakland, CA USA Post Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2002 9:56 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Hi JM- As you might have noticed, I, too, have an interest in this issue, especially regarding the loss of choice of penguin-related or otherwise 'cute' icons for the user, as evidenced over in this Discussion thread about logos. In the meantime, I have been learning how to extract all the icons from the mandrake_desk rpm of 8.0, including penguins, wrap them up in a tarball, and upload them to a webspace my isp provides for me. BTW, I found the icons for userdrake are now in /usr/share/mdk/faces, whereas they were in /usr/share/faces in 8.0. You can get the tarball of face png's and see how I extracted them, if you are interested, in the readme, at my brand new website!: http://home.mindspring.com/~rolfpedersen/ mandrakewilson Frequent user Joined: 02 May 2002 Posts: 49 Location: Oklahoma Post Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2002 10:50 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Excellent!

I felt that I would be wasting lot of time and effort in collecting them. So I found & got ico2xpm a windows to linux icons converter. I converted all of my icons and placed them In my personel user library. When I set the faces for login I navagate to that library and chose a character Icon for each familly member that they get to chose.
