OpenOffice toolbar icon themes [solved]

[devries]

Config Error:

unable to guess background color

set guessBG false (in config.tcl)

and set bg <your toolbar color> (in config.tcl)

then rerun script

 

Open config.tcl file (somewhere in the script folder) with your favorite texteditor and follow the instructions. :)

It's not letting me save my changes. I'm the only one set up on this computer and it's not giving me access to my files. Why is that?

 

See attached.

Guess there is something strange with your access rights. Look in /home and rightclick/check properties of <your name> folder. You should have write access (look under advanced settings). You are sure thought that there is enough free space left? (open a console and type: df)

[smileychgo]

Yes sir - I have more than enough space. 223gb

 

I have attached a pic so you can see also that I do have write access.

[devries]

Strange... I guess some folder in /home/your name then doesn't has write access.....

First hit on Google was to check .kde (the hidden .kde folder). You could try and check.

 

A better way is, I think, to open a console, log in as root and type: konqueror, got to /home, rightclick/properties <your name>, check apply changes to all subfolders and contents (see your screenshot). and try again.

Ok devries, I think it worked this time. Whoo hoo!!!! Now how do I change the icons in OpenOffice?

Thanks for all your help.

 

[wyman@localhost ~]$ cd Desktop/OOo_toolbar

[wyman@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ ./quickInstall.tcl

Found OOo: (/home/wyman/.openoffice)

found quickInstall auto-config file

ThemeDir: MyTheme/22x22/

icon-size = (22,22)

num icons: 171

OpenOffice config directory:

/home/wyman/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/

config directory not found, creating

Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to:

/home/wyman/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak0/

........*..*...*............*...................................................

....................................**..........................................

.

.......... done

Now I opened up Openoffice and I don't have any icons (just as you said in a previous post). I tried deleting the bak0 from the file and still I have no icons.

[devries]

In the config.tcl and run the script again. Change the themedir (there are other options you can play with. Just read the config.tcl file (set useKDEdefault "true"; # true/false is a nice one))

 

Have fun. :)

[smileychgo]

I'm not sure if I understand you. But I changed the "set themedir" to 'aqua' and yet I still have no icons. I also reran ./quickInstall.tcl as you said. KDEdefault is set to "TRUE"

[devries]

In the config.tcl change the set icons line by removing # and placing it before the line that is used now (Placing/removing an # in front of a line in a script means it is not/yes active) If Kdedefault is set to true you need to comment out (place a # ) the set icons line (because it is using the kde icon theme (read the cinfig.tcl))

 

The script is old and not maintained as far as I can see it. If you read the last few comments on kde-look more people are having problems.

[smileychgo]

Well I've given up on it. I know I'm following the script and it still doesn't work. I'll stick with the regular icons.

 

This thread can now be closed.

 

Thanks for all your help devries.
