Hi guys, I have "tangofied" main icons in icons.svg but I have following problem. How do I change icons for File>Open, File>Save, File>Print, Undo, Redo, Clipboard manipulation? I didn't found them in the icons.svg and on winxp these icons are default ugly gnome icons :( Any suggestions? Also how do I change cursor images?
I understand, that you are interested in a consistent icon theme. But we need a solution, that works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux(KDE, Gnome, ...)
You can't modify those icons and this is a good thing. They are taken from the GTK theme and the idea is to have them consistent across the entire desktop (bonus if you have a full GTK/GNOME desktop). Inkscape should use the Wimp GTK theme on Windows and those icons should fit the Windows look and feel as much as possible.
Afaik, the Wimp stuff is integrated in GTK and no longer a separate project.
I thought that. But the problem is as I stated, the icons are not default windows on a windows machine.
There are no default Windows icons...
they are default gnome, which is on a win desktop a bit confusing.
That are not the default Gnome, but the default GTK icons. Inkscape is not a Gnome program.
just look at the attached file. I think a perfect thing would be that if an icon is specified in icons.svg file, inkscape will use that icon, and if it isn't specified then use the default wimp theme icon. what about that? The other thing is, many apps in windows have their custom icons, even the default ones. And when Inkscape will use the tango theme, why not use the tango icons also for the default ones. I think its less confusing when one app has one icon theme than other rather than one app has two icon themes ;) and to solve the problem with unification across platforms, simply ship the win version of inkscape with the modified icons.svg.
To just change the default GTK (not winp ;) ) icon theme to Tango and change the icon.svg file would work for Windows. But Tango is more then just an icon theme, it's a new framework. Please note that older iconsets can be used with our new framework -- and, once ported, will work across the desktops in a consistent manner. If Inkscape would use the Tango ArtLibreSet[1] and not the icons.svg we could change the Incscape, Scribus and Gimp icons just by changing one iconset.

You need to make gdk pixbufs with gdk-pixbuf-csource (which is part of gdk, though may not be installed on all distributions) These work like rgba xpm files and are placed in .../src/pixbuf
Be careful about moving the hot spot. You need the hot spot to be in the same position in the pixbuf and xpm version (or fix the bug that requires this).

I know how to fix that bug, as long as it's the issue I'm aware of.
Also... xpm allows for setting the hotspot, we'd just need to include and get it.

But this will work just in Linux, no? I think it's time to change OS ;)
