Description Egmont Koblinger 2005-01-18 01:00:43 CET
Basically I like the Bluecurve icon theme. If I choose it, it works correctly,
all the icons come from Bluecurve.

However, I'd prefer to override some icons of Bluecurve. Hence I've created
an icon theme called UHU which inherits Bluecurve, and contains only a very
few icons where I'd like to override Bluecurve. This works perfectly in
Gnome and in KDE.

In Xfce, I can choose the UHU theme, it is there in the list, however, the
desktop doesn't become Bluecurvish, it uses the default Xfce iconset.

So it seems that the "Inherits" feature of icon themes is not working.

hmm, worked fine last time i checked.

where are the bluecurve and uhu themes located?
Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2005-01-18 01:06:18 CET
Both are under /usr/share/icons.
I have no /usr/local/share/icons or similar directory, and Xfce is tested
with a clean brand new user account, so no ~/.icons exists either.
