Jet2k5 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 But I don't understand. It says that those are for windows? How the hell did you get gnome running on windows/windows styles on gnome. They for some reason look better on your comp :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 They are for windows, i think(hope) he's going to be porting them for gnome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 One thing I just noticed is that the theme they are .icons. In bvc's theme picture they are .png so someone was messing around with the format ... bvc! Â This would be sweet if he makes a theme for them. I would like to see it.

bvc Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 well, there's not enough icons to make a 'theme' so the package I made is a mix with CerberusDrives (found at guistyles) and Xi-Gnome mimetypes (on my site). Took all of 10 min with GIB. Click on an .ico and gthumb opens then Ctrl+A to select all then Tools>Convert to png. Imagine all the icon packs you'll have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 So your not going to make us an easy-installable icon theme for gnome? :sad: I'm just really lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 No It took me 10 minutes...ok so I'm experienced but 20 or 30 minutes for someone w/o experience? Come on. The author probably spent weeks making the icons. Once you learn it, you'll love it! No more...."I don't have any icons to go with this" crap. Â tips -GIB constantly crashes so get Both versions http://www.kernow-hosting.com/~bvc/theme/icons/gib/ - save constantly ...as soon as the theme is started, save the index.theme file to the desktop and regularly copy it over. GIB will delete its contents or even the file itself. I know how to write one but someone that doesn't will give up quickly if you do not constantly bkup the file. Â I did however add a xmms/rhythmbox media panel to TiSkin Classic. I'll be doing the same for Xi Albook/V2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 It's not that I mind so much making and releasing. You have to ask for permission and deal will uploads and postings at gnome-look etc....and all to hear "(whinning) it's incomplete, are you going to make more? (whinning) " when you didn't make them at all and can't alter them...people can read I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 xi-albook v2 media panel xi-albook media panel download update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Didn't know it was that much of a pain in the ass to make a theme. I feel that a lot of icon themes are incomplete. Sometimes not having icons for everything I have :( Makes me mad. On the other hand thanks for the reply  :smash head: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what you pay for right? heh, people pay to have Icon Packager on windows and it's themes are only 100 icons. No one complains ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) yeah I just don't like som of the icons that it assigns to my ipod nd xmms. But now I just look in other themes and make them custom. So that fixes it all :) Â Chill out, I'm not a computer nerd. And i don't make themes every freaking month. I was giving you a damn compliment gosh. Need to take some " chill out energey drink. Â btw, when you update a theme I have to re-download it and install it? And then what?

Lowe Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 He sound perfectly calm to me. :huh: I'll pass on the icon theme making, im quite content with the ones available right now. bvc how about a pink theme? I don't think i've seen a pink theme before. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I was making a joke but you didn't get it. The question is there is no joke? sorry I'm wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 yup, I was rather calm... as for the last update on Xi Albook and TiSkin Classic?... you only need it if you want the media panel like in the screenshots. Instructions are in the INSTALL file in the media directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I just re-dowloaded it and installed it again. On another note where can I find single cool icons? I've seen some awesome icon for my ipod but I can't tell where it was, or what theme it was. Do you know of a specific website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
