required icon themes missing for two included GNOME themes

[Christer Edwards]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I installed the Ubuntu 9.10 beta release using the desktop iso. Post installation I went to change my theme and found that icon sets for two of the included themes are missing.

New Wave, Dust and Dust Sand are missing required icon themes. This results in an inconsistent theme when selected, as well as a reported error in the Appearance Preferences application.

If these additional themes are going to be included they should be included in entirety.

These themes specify that they require Human in their index.theme, but
don't depend on it, so the icon theme isn't available.

Thanks,

James

I'll take this, but I'd like to put off the upload for a few days. There should be some changes in humanity soon allowing themes with light panels to have darker icons on the panel (ie Human, Dust Sand) while keeping the current light icons for dark panels (ie Human Netbook, Dust, New Wave). I'd like to pick up these changes so Dust Sand can use the new theme once it's uploaded.

Ken, do you have some input on this? Should they use an existing icon theme such as humanity, or do they have their own?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Bah, ignore my last comment. I just replied to the LP bug mail, but did not get all the followups. Sorry for the noise.

Works fine, uploading. Thanks Andrew!
