1 # Icon Repository for the Applications
3 All of the icons, separated by themes are included in this
4 directory. These icons are built into `.zip` files, and re-ordered `/`
5 packed for efficiency reasons based on our UI configuration by the
6 `postprocess/CustomTarget_images.mk`.
8 An icon theme does not need to contain all images, since these can be
9 layered one on top of another.
11 In general the layering is done like this:
17 ## How to Add a New Image Set
19 - Create a directory for it here (let's call it e.g. `new_set`)
21 FIXME: It is important to use an underscore `_` to delimit more words.
22 `scp2` compilation crashes when using a dash `-`.
23 It evidently splits the name into two strings.
25 + It's probably not true anymore with filelists.
26 + if this gets changed, `IconThemeSelector::SetPreferredIconTheme` needs to change too
28 - Add its name (`new_set`) to `WITH_THEMES` variable in `configure.ac`
30 - The fallback for particular icons is defined be `packimages_CUSTOM_FALLBACK_1`
31 in `packimages/CustomTarget_images.mk`
34 ## How to Add a New Icon for a New Command
36 - Assume you defined a dispatch command in officecfg like the following:
38 in `officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/CalcCommands.xcu`
40 <node oor:name=".uno:OpenFromCalc" oor:op="replace">
41 <prop oor:name="Label" oor:type="xs:string">
42 <value xml:lang="en-US">~Open...</value>
44 <prop oor:name="Properties" oor:type="xs:int">
49 Here, you need to define a property named "Properties", with its value set
50 to 1 so that the icons show up.
52 - Now, you need to add 2 new icon images under `icon-themes/colibre/cmd/`, one
53 for the large size and one for the smaller size. The name of each image
54 must be `lc_<command name>.png` and `sc_<command name>.png`. Here, the command
55 name is the name given in the above `.xcu` file without the `.uno:` prefix and
56 all its letters lower-cased. In this example, the file names will be
57 `lc_openfromcalc.png` and `sc_openfromcalc.png`. Note that you need to add new
58 images to the colibre theme for them to show up in any themes at all.
