Re: Hicolor icon theme

Hi John,

Or, in a more detailed fashion, this is what you can do about this, it 
took me a while to figure this out:
(This assumes that your GTK+2/3 main DLLs are in c:\foo\bin, adjust to 
your paths accordingly)

-Get the latest release tarball from 
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases/, it is 0.12 at this time, 
and put the index.theme file somewhere from the archive into 
c:\foo\share\icons\hicolor
 (This will stop GTK+ from saying that it can't find the icon themes 
and crashing, but that does not provide the icon images, so you would 
see lots of missing images)
-Get the latest release stable (3.10.x at this time, except for 
gnome-icon-theme-extras which is at 3.6.x) tarballs of gnome-icon-theme, 
gnome-icon-theme-extras and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic from the GNOME 
FTP, look for those names there.
--Open the archives for the 3 gnome-icon-theme- tarballs and go to the 
"gnome" directory in each of them and copy everything in there to 
c:\foo\share\icons\hicolor
--Be aware that in order for the symbolic items to show in the GTK+ 
programs, you need to build and install LibRSVG with its GDK-Pixbuf 
loader and generate the loaders.cache file in 
c:\foo\lib\gdk-pixbuf-2.0\2.10.0 using 
c:\foo\bin\gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe > 
c:\foo\lib\gdk-pixbuf-2.0\2.10.0\loaders.cache after you built LibRSVG*

*Your GDK-Pixbuf must have built with "#define USE_GMODULE 1" in its 
config.h; LibRSVG depends on libcroco and libxml2 in addition to 
Pango/PangoCairo.

Hope this explains things a bit.

With blessings.
