Midori for Debian ================= Missing Icons ------------- Based on conversation with the author, and the faq entries cited below, I do not think Midori will be changed upstream to use only "stock" GTK icons. * There are missing icons/ warnings The set of themed icons Midori can use is very limited. For instance icons for a new tab or the throbber are not guaranteed to be available. To fix this, install a Freedesktop.org spec compliant icon theme, such as Tango or Gnome, or one that is compatible with these. * Tweaking Midori on the Gtk level If you don't have a desktop application that takes care of Gtk settings or if your interface doesn't support a particular feature, you can modify any settings easily manually by specifying them in a text file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc: Use Tango as a fallback for your icon theme: gtk-icon-theme = "MySuperFancyTheme" gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "Tango" -- http://wiki.xfce.org/midori_faq Therefore I will add document this state of affairs in README.Debian and add the following header to debian/control: Recommends: gnome-icon-theme This seems to be in line with what other packages currently do (e.g. galeon). I am choosing not to include a whole bunch of alternatives in the Recommendation because I don't want to have to keep that list of alternatives accurate. -- Trent W.
