 Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 2:16 am Post subject: Icon replacing script |
|
So better late than never, I put my first stab at the icon-replacing script up at:
http://brettisangry.com/NeoOffice/
Any brave souls want to give it a try?
This is a simple start to a tool that could eventually handle all the aspects of icon replacement in Neo/J. How much further it gets developed depends a lot on how many people are interested in using it.
I think the readme is fairly comprehensive, but hit me with any questions or comments and I'll try smooth it out. I started this separate thread just to deal with issues surrounding the script. |

I can't unzip this file:
| Quote: |
SchlesisPowerbook:~/Desktop/Downloads/x thomas$ unzip Neo-Iconer.zip
Archive: Neo-Iconer.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.

Hm, now I can download the file, too.
At my first attempts, it was a 2.2MB file, now it is a 6.8MB file.

Ok, I've tried it out and it worked.
The icons look "fresher" now, but I don't like the red background of several icons. Is there a way to replace the red background by a grey one?

I'll see if I can use it with the 5.5.7 version available at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/welcome.html#imagemagick. I understand that the 6.x.x version doesn't really work too well on the Mac. Or has that been solved in the mean time?
Bercha, did you change any names in the slotlist.csv, or can one keep using their old collections?
Thanks again,
Oscar

actually the binary had to be manually placed in invisible /bin/ and other kind of unix folder... and after you do this, it is looking for strange library in stange places...
I'll wait for a double click installation of other icons...

Sorry about that, I made the post at the same time I made the post, then my internet connection went down for an hour. |

Don't misunderstand what this is: This is a tool to help develop icons, none of the icons in the package are original to me.
The icons that are included with this are mostly icons collected by the guy who wrote the original script. I did add the red ones as the default "unreplaced icons" to help people see what Icons they haven't worked on. To get the grey ones, switch the 'understudy' setting in the config.tcl to .BaseIcons. |

I can't speak for the whole ImageMagick collection, but the bits that are used by this script work very well. Unfortunately, I think there's some differences between the 5 and 6 versions and I don't think this script will run on the older one. Let me know if that's important and I'll see if I can't get it to work.

You can keep using your old collections. Do you have a more complete slotlist.csv? The next step is to expand that list and figure out a way to organize and label it that makes it easy to use for laymen (the idea being to reduce overhead for those who might be great designers and poor technos.) |

Beleive you me, if there as someway I could get by without requiring people to install an external program, I would.
Also, I was totally not kidding about FinkCommander being by far the easiest way to install ImageMagick. ImageMagick itself is great, but I think the install instructions were written in some combination of esperanto and latin.
Is there anyone out there who could dash off a quick install script for ImageMagick? It seems like a fairly easy task for someone who understand the BSD file structure, which I do not. |

As said, Marc Liyanage has these. And they work and put in the right path and everything. The 5.5.7 version worked with the old script (haven't had time to try the new one yet). The issue with the early 6.x.x version was that it gave all black icons instead of coloured ones..
Best wishes,
Oscar

Sorry about that, I guess I ran through a those posts too quickly. I did talk with the ImageMagick folks, and it appears okay to repost the program and include an install script. I'll try to get that done this week. |

Hi,
I just came across this thread, suggesting there might be a way of getting Imagemagick in a package. Did that happen? |
