Hi

Is there a way to download the "Icon Theme Toolkit v2.1" ? I was not able to find it on hobbes or on Alex's homepage.

Alex, what happens if you run "rebuild new themes" from the Theme applet ? Will it bind the resource files (create by rc with the -r switch) to the DLLs in question ? In short: will that also lead to a selection of a specific theme ? Will this change be applied on next system start ? Or will it even be applied immediately ?

Only the ancient version 1.x of Icon Themes had that feature. I don't even remember how it worked, but  IIRC it simply builds the resource files, it doesn't install them.

I believe it lived on the eCS BetaZone.

I have it here, but I'd rather not upload it until I can review it for any necessary updates for the current Icon Themes version.

Thanks Alex, please let me know when you release it on your website.

OK, it's up now, along with the latest version of Icon Themes itself.

It's been updated to support all the icons supported by the current ITheme, but created themes should still work fine with any 2.x version.

Here is one of the many themes I made years ago.  Works good with eCS.  This is the red folder theme.  I also have it in black and yellow.  I also have smoke and purple glass folders themes and others.  All folders are based on Linux folders.  I have attached one if anyone wants to try.  I had problems running these themes on ArcaOS.  Done in wpi so they can be removed.  Before installing, it is a good idea to back up the desktop.

Start the wpi and see a screen shot.  Can always cancel the install afterwards.

Hi.

I also like to have the System Setup icons matching. I did this ones that are still far away from perfect or complete, but gaves a general idea.
