@@ -1,77 +1,4 @@ ========================================================================== -NOTE: The remainder of this README applies only to the 7 accessibility - themes in this module: - -- HighContrast[LargePrint][Inverse] -- LowContrast[LargePrint] -- LargePrint +NOTE: Empty ========================================================================== -0. Default Theme ----------------- - -All the a11y themes in this module inherit from the 'mate' theme. -The 'mate' theme is in the mate-icon-theme module, and has to be built and installed separately. - -1. Editing the gtkrc files --------------------------- - -The gtkrc.in files for each a11y theme are currently generated by autogen.sh. Each gtkrc.in file is the concatenation of these files: - -$theme/gtk-2.0/$theme.rc -common/gtk-stock-icons.rc -common/panel-stock-icons.rc -common/media-stock-icons.rc -common/capplet-stock-icons.rc - -It follows that you should NOT edit gtkrc.in directly. Instead, edit the appropriate .rc file, then re-autogen before building. This obviously kind of sucks, but it was the only way I could get it to work at the time :/ - - -2. Adding new icons -------------------- - -The module is currently configured to make it easy to add or remove a stock icon from all themes at once, but not so easy to do so on a per-theme basis. This works well for now but probably won't if we want to make this a more general theme repository. - -So, to add a new gtk stock icon to all themes: - -- Add the icon's filename to common/all-stock-items.data -- Add the line you want to appear in the themes' RC files to the appropriate common/*.rc file -- Add the icon files, each with the same filename, to all the <theme>/pixmaps/ directories. - -MATE icons that are themed via the icon theming mechanism (as specified on freedesktop.org) are currently still added individually in each <theme>/icons subdirectory. E.g. to add a new 48x48 application icon to all the themes, you have to modify each <theme>/icons/48x48/apps/Makefile.am individually, and add the appropriate icon file to each <theme>/icons/48x48/apps directory. - - -3. Changing icon sizes ----------------------- - -The icon sizes for ALL the LargePrint themes are defined in configure.in. Changing them here will affect all LargePrint themes. - - -4. Changing colours --------------------- - -To change the colours in a particular theme, edit its <themename>/gtk-2.0/<themename>.rc file. - - -5. Switching icon themes ------------------------- -In 2.2 and later, use mate-theme-manager, and choose the Icon theme from the Details subdialog. - -In earlier versions of MATE, unless you're running my patched theme switcher dialog (patch in bugzilla, -#93486), you'll need to switch icon themes by hand using MateConf: - -$ mateconftool-2 -s /desktop/mate/interface/icon_theme "<themename>" --type=string - - -6. To create low contrast icons in GIMP from the original coloured icon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Use the low-contrast-preset.scm GIMP script in this directory to create a low -contrast icon from a regular-coloured icon. (Read the comments in the script -for instructions on how to install and use it.) Thanks to Guillermo for -providing this! - -Note: In GIMP, Input=0/0.6/255, Output=75/255 seems to give results -closer to the icons Suzanna converted in Photoshop, but plugging these -values into this script seems to give different results from doing it -manually in the Levels dialog :/ |
