==========================================================================
-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 :/
