The currently required version is 0.9 [1] but recently was released the 0.10, supporting the installation of named icons in new contexts defined in Icon Naming Spec [2]
What's the difference? It's simple, let me assume that you want to provide named icons for your application using the trick explained by Rodney in his blog[3] under the "Status" context. If your system is using the version 0.9 of hicolor, you can install your icons in $prefix/share/<appname>/icons/hicolor/<size>/status, but those icons will be ignored at runtime, 'cause the list of directories to watch in system or local `hicolor` directories is defined in the index.theme provided by hicolor-icon-theme. The new 0.10 release of hicolor-icon-theme adds those missing directories. If it's OK, I'll provide to update the page on wiki and the jhbuild module. PS by now there is no way to check the installed version of hicolor icon theme. Alex asked me to co-maintain this module, so maybe in the next future will be a 0.12 release providing pkgconfig support as in gnome-icon-theme [1] http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies [2] http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html [3] http://wayofthemonkey.com/index.php?date=2006-11-15&month=11&year=2006 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
