Re: Folder icons won't change
A re-boot - or, at least, log-out (and in again
) ought to do it.

About icon themes
> HOWTO : create own (partial) icon theme >> Icon Theme Specification
Icon Theme
An icon theme is a named set of icons. It is used to map from an iconname and size to a file.
Icon file
An icon file is an image that can be loaded and used as an icon.
Base Directory
Icons and themes are searched for in a set of directories, called base directories. The themes are stored in subdirectories of the base directories.
...
In at least one of the theme directories there must be a file called index.theme that describes the theme. The first index.theme found while searching the base directories in order is used. This file describes the general attributes of the theme.
...
=>
You need to have:
1) Icons, that have the right names
2) They need to be in the right place
3) You need to have an index file that describes the icon theme.Before you edit, BACKUP !

Folder icon name and location

Folder icon name and location
Published by David Vignoni on April 18, 2007 03:40 am under icons
Dolphin, next KDE 4 file manager, looks for folder icon at “mimetypes/inode-directory.png”. Follow current icon identikit:
Name: inode-directory.png
Address: oxygen/…/mymetypes/
Profession: folder icon
All the special folder icons are located under “places” directory and use a different kind of name having “folder-” as prefix… like “folder-important.png” or “folder-yellow.png”.
So my question is: Shouldn’t the regular folder icon be located under “places” directory as well and be called just “folder.png”?
Testing:
Modifying /home/<USER>/.kde/share/icons/crystal_project/...
Copying
all .png files from filesystems to places
and
folder.png from /filesystems to /mimetypes and renaming it to inode-directory.png”
adding to index.theme
after that:Code:Directories=...,48x48/places,... ... [48x48/places] Size=48 Context=Places Type=Threshold ...

. Hopefully someone will do a total rebuild to the icon theme. It is working fine with my KDE 3.5 installation but it needs rebuild with the KDE 4.

What tells top (in the konsole) ? Is there high CPU load ?
man top
NAME
top - display Linux tasks
SYNOPSIS
top -hv | -bcHisS -d delay -n iterations -p pid [, pid ...]
The traditional switches ’-’ and whitespace are optional.
DESCRIPTION
The top program provides a dynamic real-time view of a running system.
Open source driver were working fine at here. I'm now using Catalyst/fglrx from the repositories. At the moment the repository version is better (wellI use drivers for my graphics card that came with the linux,cus' the ones from ati's site doesn't work like they should... it is possible to install) than AMD version:
