Description Vincent Billette 2012-12-17 21:30:00 CET

Description of problem:
I use Xfce xith the Clearlooks theme and the Tango icons.

I have already reported this bug :
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5521

Some Tango icons are missing and Thunar make use of the standard Gnome icons instead.

I found an another problem : if i want to maximize the size if the icons in Thunar, it works only with the Gnome icons ! So some icons are maximized, but most of theme are not...

Steps to Reproduce:

- install Xfce ;
- install Gnome themes and Tango icon theme ;
- choose the Clearlooks theme and the Tango icon theme ;
- open Thunar and try to maximize the size of the icons ("zomm" function).

Without deeper investigation I'd say it's the same problem as in bug 5521...tango-icon-theme is missing icons. You can't "zoom" icons if there's no scalable icon available or no icons for sizes other than e.g. 16x16 px.

Comment 3 Vincent Billette 2012-12-18 20:24:37 CET

And I would give the same answer : why do I have those bugs only with Mageia ?

Other distros make use of the standard folder icon in the right panel.
I even tried to create the so-called "missing icons" and to add them in the Tango folders with exactly the same name as in the Gnome icon pack : it did'nt work, either.

An I even found that sometimes, even if a Tango icon exists, the Gnome icon is loaded instead... (exemple : user-home ; as you can see in the pictures, the icon is the typical Gnome icon, that looks like a tiny house ; the T).

Moreover, scalable svg icons DO EXIST in the official Tango Icon Theme located in /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/places... but they're not loaded in Thunar while Gnome icons are, as you can see on the second picture. In other words this bug occurs even if the requiered Tango icon exists.

(exemple : user-home ; as you can see in the pictures, the icon is the typical Gnome icon, that looks like a tiny house ; the Tango icon exists and it looks like a blue folder with a little white house drawn in the middle : it appears in the field with the path, that's correct... but not in the bar beside the arrows nor in the left panel as it should be !).

Moreover, scalable svg icons DO EXIST in the official Tango Icon Theme located
in /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/places... but they're not loaded in Thunar
while Gnome icons are, as you can see on the second picture. In other words
this bug occurs even if the requiered Tango icon exists.

This is not a bug, it's a feature. Since Thunar 1.5.1 go-home icon is used.

Snip from Thunar 1.5.1 ChangeLog:
- Use go-home icon name for menu and toolbar.

Screenshot with max scaling

Can't reproduce the original issue, all icons are scaling correctly for me when using Ctrl and +/-.

Could you try the following cmd as root:
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/Tango

Too late... Just installed the beta 1 64 and it seems that another bug has been solved ! I can't not reproduce this anymore ; all is perfect now...
