Re: Creating a scalable icon theme for Gnome

I'd try looking at the default GNOME/Tango themes. There are over 800 icons total in there, but if you're making a scalable set, you won't need 3+ sizes like what they used.

I am working on making a scalable theme. I have looked at other themes, which only adds to my frustration. Some themes will have menu icons. Others do not. So, in the spirit of learning, I copy icons which I believe should be the menu icons over to a temp theme I am playing with. After refreshing everything, they do not appear.

So is there a definitive list of icon names? It seems that ever theme I have looked at is different, or enough different that it is difficult to make heads of tails out of what they are doing.

Finally, I have noticed that some of the icons (a vector file ending in .svg) have a little arrow in the upper right corner. This appears to be a shortcut to another icon. When I do a directory in terminal of those icons they don't appear to have a unique name. So what gives?

Any help would be great. A list would be better. Thank you all in advance.
