Includes several themed icon sets, +a template icon set to help building new themed icon sets, scripts and +configurations for several window managers. + +The idea is having many icon sets all implementing the same +standardized icon list (see icons.lst file in this directory). There +are semantical icon set aliases which are linked to the real icon sets +and are relinked dynamically. The standard icon set aliases include +'menu' for menu-icons, 'mini' and 'norm' for mini and normal (desktop) +icons, representing application windows in WM. Anyone can define her +own aliases, like 'large-buttons' for her FvwmButtons, and refer to +icons as large-buttons/window-close, large-buttons/xterm, etc. Icon +set aliases can point to any installed icon set and be switched from +within a menu. + +All included icon sets have one-sized icons and are named by the +scheme <size>-<theme>, like 44x52-penguins. Absent icons (if any) are +linked to the most relevant one present in the same icon set. + +There are currently 30 themed icon sets, which can be switched from +within a menu. There is also template icon set included for those who +want to start their own wm-icons based icon sets. + +The standardized icon list currently includes 84 icon names. + +Installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL file. + +Each user can run wm-icons-config for personal (not global) +settings, like: + wm-icons-config -p -d # creates ~/.wm-icons with default links +See the (forthcoming) documentation for wm-icons-config for more details. + +There are configurations for various window managers (fvwm1, fvwm2, fvwm95, +scwm for now) in the etc/ directory. + +For additional information, read files in doc/ directory. +icons.lst contains all info about the icon list and used icons. + +Visit the project's home page at http://wm-icons.sourceforge.net/ . |
