No. it is not a matter of neither not following the spec. You can have around 8 icons in your icon theme and be icon spec compliant. It just makes it virtually impossible for the user to know what to do with the icons. the standard basically says that 'if a icon foo-bar-baz-quux is requested' try the following files: foo-bar-baz-quux.[extensions] foo-bar-baz.[extensions] foo-bar.[extensions] foo.[extensions] and as long as you just provide a foo.png for all values of foo, then you icon theme fulfils the spec. then imagine I use that theme and request foo-bar and foo-bar2 and foo-bar3 and use them for 3 different actions, and then it is good enough if the icon theme just has a foo.png, then I get 3 similar icons. That's not a issue in the desktop environment and also not in the icon theme, but still it is not a good fit together. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
