Change Synaptic's "Mark All Upgrades" Button

[ffi]

I want to change the icon for the mark all upgrades button because it doesn' t fit at all with the theme. I found a better icon but don' t know where to place it so it is used instead of the default icon.

dpkg -L synaptic

 

My guess is it is one of these ;)

I'm at work right now and just ssh'd in so I can't see what they look like, pull them up in nautilus and compare, make a backup and then cp your image to it with the same name. This might not work so make a cp :)

Thanks, this works but it is not a very elegant solution. To where shoud I save the icon in the gtk theme or icon theme? I tried including it in the /usr/share/themes/tish/gtk-2.0/icons dir but it did not work...

Well, this isn't a theme or icon. It is for a program with a built in icon ;)

 

I assumed you were talking about the synaptic program and all the buttons it uses whilst you are in it right? If so, than dropping it in a theme/icon location wouldn't work. That would be like expecting the refresh button in firefox to change because you added <some-icon-theme> to gnome. Know what I mean?

 

I could be wrong though, I'm not a theme guru by any means :unsure:

Synaptic did pick up the other icons used by the theme, except for the mark all upgrades which rather stood out.

Cool, yeah I wasn't sure if they used it or not, guess that answers that ;)
