Re: Normal case icon names on desktop

[Remi Cohen-Scali <Remi Cohen-Scali COM>]

Sorry, but I don't think so for mc. According the gnome midnight commander code
(icon widget header gdesktop-icon.h), the desktop icons' font is a constant
defined as this:

#if OLD_DESKTOP_FONT
#define DESKTOP_ICON_FONT "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-p-*-*-*," \
   "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*"
#else
#define DESKTOP_ICON_FONT \
     "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--10-*-*-*-p-*-*-*," \
     "-*-*-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*"
#endif

Does this implies the font for the icons is fixed forever (unless mc source
hacking of course). Does the gtk themes settings affect this hard setting ?
My observations leads me to answer to the previous questions: yes - no;
But I could be wrong ...
If anyone knows a way for customizing icons font, please tell me ... The color is
customizable through gtk themes, isn't it ?
