Not sure I understood this correctly, but isn't the idea being able to change the color of the theme? In that case: How do I actually do that? Change the color of the icons?

Great theme!

If you can't come back to it, could you write a tutorial on how to add to it and how it works?

Aloha,

I have always intended to release at least one more version but I have not managed to make time for this project. I wrote a quick guide in this deviantart comment on how to add new icons to the theme. http://comments.deviantart.com/1/175624910/2430631013

Would it be possible to add a sunbird/iceowl icon? It's the only thing standing between me and my perfect desktop now. Again, thanks for the awesome work. I'll be donating for sure.

This project have been on hold for some time. However I'm considering working on it again soon.

These are calendar programs right? A quick fix could be just make a copy of the calendar.svg icon in ~/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.5/scalable/apps/ and name it correctly.

A tip for finding the correct name of the icons is locating them in the /usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/ folder and see what name they have there. Works most of the time.

What's the proper name of this theme to add to my .gtkrc-2.0.mine? I've tried both AnyColorYouLike and ACYL. Neither one works. Using gnome-appearance-propeties has no effect either.

switzak

I don't know how that works so I can't say anything for certain but you could give ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.5 a shot as that is the name of the folder. Good luck!

strungoutfan78

Hmmmm. I always thought that the name came from the "Name=" line in the index.theme file, which in this case is AnyColorYouLike, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks. Love your theme and hope I can get it working.

I have been using this icon set for a few months and
I love it. The only problem Ive had is with the geany terminator and dropbox icons, for some reason those three icons will not change. Do you know where geany, terminator and dropbox store their icons?

switzak
7 years ago

All three of them works without a problem for me. The icon location might be different for other versions of the programs in which case I don't know it.

I'm trying to install ACYL in ArchBang but the script is failing with a syntax error. I think it said in line 7. I'm just using the default openbox DE.

any thoughts?

switzak

What does it say exactly? And what version of python do you have?

pissnaround
7 years ago

it says...
File "/home/louis/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/script_gui.py", line 7
print "You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional."
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
and it's python 3.2.2

switzak

Heh, I just noticed from some older comments that you have changed versions in the script before so the last part of my previous post is somewhat redundant. But I guess it could be good for other people with similar problems. =)

Even changing #!/bin/python to #!/bin/python2.7 (which is installed on my Lubuntu 12.04, I keep getting these errors when running AnyColorYouLike:

You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional.
Some dependencies are missing!
The following ones are required:
gtk, gtk.glade, sys, os, subprocess,
shutil, gettext, ConfigParser
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pibarnas/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/script_gui.py", line 23, in <module>
sys.exit(1)
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined

Wouldn't be a good idea to provide a list of deps somewhere in order to the user install them?

switzak

Well, the script depends on the python modules listed in the error text. I don't know which packages they all originate from. But most of them should be pretty standard and come with an installation of python.

You should have the "sys" module if you have installed python. I have no idea why you get an error, although I have gotten this reported to me once before. It was on a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10. That time it seemed to solve itself after a reboot. Sorry I can't be of much help.

switzak

The script does NOT support python 3.xx. I think it would work if you install version 2.6 or a higher 2.xx. It should not be any problem having two version of python at the same time, but I recommend you look it up to see if there is something special that needs to be done.

If you do decide to install python 2.x you might have to tell the script what version it should use.
And here is a mini-guide on how to do that:
* Find the file script_gui.py in ~/.icons/Any_Color_You_Like_0.9.4/scalable/scripts/
* Edit the first line in a text editor, it should be something like #!/usr/bin/env python2.x when you are done. Where python2.x should match the version you have installed.

it might but since it's the only distro I'm having an issue with I think I will leave it alone. not sure I want two pythons installed anyway. :)

thanks for the info though :D

I had been using this theme then I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Now when I try to apply a new style, the terminal out puts "gnome-panel: no process found". I'm not sure if there's something I should be doing differently or not. Please let us know. Thanks.

Nevermind...complete fail on my part. There's no issue.

This theme was just what I needed to make this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=143075
My computer looks a lot more awesome now, thanks!

switzak

Good to hear you like them! Your gtk theme looks similar to my own, but I guess thats because we both use the HC engine. =)
