Description: ithis is a small program written in python to install and manage the icon theme hydroxygen.
UBUNTU installation instruction: insert into the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" the repositories: ####################### deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/alberto-rinaudo/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/alberto-rinaudo/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main #######################
then open a terminal and type: gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 86CF6890405250D9 gpg --armor --export 86CF6890405250D9 | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install hydroxygen
Alternatively you can download the .deb file and install it.
OTHER SYSTEM: download the sources file, extract it and open a shell in the extraction directory. then run the script install.sh
the program icon is located in Applications -> Accessories alternatively, open a terminal or Alt + f2 and type "hydroxygen"Last changelog:
hydroxygen (0.0.2-2~ppa7) intrepid; urgency=low
* Inserimento script Install/Uninstall * correzione bug: barra estrazione tar e rimozione file * eliminazione temporanea svn * correzione bug: Hydroxygen.desktop * Inserimento repo SVN * Initial release
Using the tar.gz to install, permissions aren't set correctly; I needed to change then to 755 to run as a regular user.
Second, the gdkpixbuf thing, change line 12 of SetupConfiguration.py:
-- ("./images/logo.png", 48)
++ ("/opt/Hydroxygen/images/logo.png", 48)
After that, all I get is "cannot find icon:application-default-icon and an empty list in the configurator screens. I might come back to this when it works.
To fix this I had to manually copy the file "options.csv" from /opt/Hydroxygen to my .icons/Hydrogen folder.
So to install properly on my Fedora system, after running the install script I needed to manually change permissions of all installed files, chmod 755, and then manually copy the "options.csv" file to ~/.icons/Hydroxygen.
Hi syco, good idea. I already installed my hydroxygen icon in my system and your program too successfully installed.
Unfortunately, I just get menu box with just one option that is.. installed hydroxygen from .tar.gz
Where is the other 2 option like yours ?
Thank you
continues to be the only option because it did not find the file options.csv or the folder "Hydroxygen". the theme was installed manually? is a recent version or older? the file options.csv is included only in the last version. however the server where to download the package is no longer available. when the server will again be reached or will be changed you will find an update.
I used the bash script and I keep getting an error that says:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/Hydroxygen/Hydroxygen.py", line 140, in configure
SetupConfiguration.Setup()

My friend, I give you 2 thumbs up for writing such a simple yet effective program. It is something that all themes should take on board. It gives this one that professional feel to it. Keep up the good work.
I haven't tried yet, but it's a good initiative and a very useful program for who wants to customize his desktop quickly & easily.. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.. if your improve it and keep updating it, I'm sure it will be one of the best theme customizing tool under .deb's Linux OSes..

Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring users would find configure hydroxygen RPM at http://depo.linuxcular.com
Probably because of the new version of phyton. It installs but it isn't able to download the hydroxygen icon set.
I know, it's not as good as the python one, but I've builded it on jaunty, so it works: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=104570

How can I build this from source for Debian Lenny?

maybe there is some unspecified dependence that is not met, which versions of python and pygtk do you have?
I'd like to try out your script, but it seems that none of the download links are valid. :(
Try starting here instead: http://ppa.launchpad.net/alberto-rinaudo/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hydroxygen/
You are a god :)

Fantastic, I love it!! Thanks.
...awesome! It really adds something to the experience. Thank you!
It would be used for all gnome icons themes
As far as I cn see, it can. Only, most icon themes don't have these alternative options.
thanks for creating a very useful, effective and greatly needed program
how I can run it ?
press alt+f2 then start typing hydroxygen until you see a program called hydroxygen configurator then run it
you right thank you very much
I finally managed to upload the files with the installer. if there are problems, write it, I will correct them as soon as possible.
