Hi Sven. Installing the icons (named gimp.png and gimp.svg in this case) to $prefix/share/hicolor/$size/apps/ and then putting Icon=gimp should make gnome panel and nautilus do the right thing and look up the apropriate size (at least it does on my 2.14). I think it even strips the .png suffix and uses the SVG if provided in the correct index.theme. http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/same-desktop-file.png I'm certainly not somebody should be giving out this sort of advice, but apps should be doing the job of looking up the right size, you don't need to specify multiple icons in a .desktop files AFAIK. The icon theme spec has a bit on lookup: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/latest/ar01s05.html > We should probably also replace the icons we use as window icons, but > we would need them at 16, 32, 48 and 64 pixels then.

A side-goal of the project has been for multi-platform applications to look close to native (in terms of icons) on common desktops such as KDE, Windows XP, Mac OS X and GNOME. As is the case with GIMP, gtk is a toolkit used for multi-platform apps, it makes perfect sense for us to focus on applying the style on gtk icons. Historically gnome icon theme icons have made its way into gtk+ and we have already started on applying the style in gnome icon theme HEAD. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
