Actually someone is working on a fork;

There is a bit problem here but I already figured it out..This is such an impressive work.

DevyGrl Featured By Owner Aug 3, 2016

Hello pobtott,

What is happening with Any Color You Like, will you then create a new version from scratch, or is anyone taking this over?

thank you

pobtott Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2016

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I don't check this page often.

I am not working on a new version or starting over from scratch and as far as I know nobody is taking it over. I'm a bit sad that the project is not maintained but it is just not something I want to spend time on.

estemal Featured By Owner Jun 7, 2016

So? This is great project, really, but if it's not developed, it's dead. pobtott, if you do not have enough time for this, could you please at least publish it's sources this on github, so the community could develop it further?

pobtott Featured By Owner Jun 10, 2016

The code is already in the files, and anyone can use it however they want. But the code is a mess and it would be better to rewrite it from scratch, so I don't see much of a point in putting it on github.

This is stunning. My hope goes out for the update mentioned in the comments, and I look forward to trying this out.

DevyGrl Featured By Owner May 6, 2015

estemal I sent a message eariler in the year to pobtott asking about a new release and was told there would be one.

estemal did you recently communicate with pobtott?

No, I didn't.

I have updated to gtk3 version of script for this theme. But as I can see, author is not interested of continuing development of this theme.

I've asked already: could you put the source code to github or anywhere else so other people could continue develpment?

This is amazing, I am very pleased to have found this gem of an icon theme.

DevyGrl Featured By Owner Jan 30, 2015

@mikeubuntuser

Yeah almost 4 years late to the party, LOL...

This is SO SAD that the development of this has not contintued, or
at least for bloody sakes, someone in the Linux community picking
up the code and continuing it on, that has the coding abilities...

It's just to nice of an app to die and it really saddens me how outdated it's getting
in terms of a lack of icons at least...

I contacted the Author, not sure if he's going to do anything...

24 hours in the day, are people really that busy in life? LOL...

mikeubuntuser Featured By Owner Jan 25, 2015

2015. i'm so late. i was looking for something like that for a few years. i just love monochromatic icons. man! thanks for your work. u made linux world a bit better!

DevyGrl Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2014

Hi,

This is truly one of the best icon sets out there, I really love using this!

But I have a problem, I found out that some applications that draw their icons through wxGTK, need to have in the icon directory a valid, 'index.theme' & 'icon-theme.cache'

I tried to update the cache for Any Color You Like, and I get this message from the terminal;

gtk-update-icon-cache /home/foo/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4
gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid.

Can you please fix Any Color You, so it can create a 'icon-theme.cache'?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration, I hope you will please fix this...

pobtott Featured By Owner Nov 2, 2014

What python version are you running? Version 3.0 broke backwards compatibility. The script should work fine with version 2.7.x.

speedracker Featured By Owner Oct 18, 2014 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Will you make a Update version for 14.04 ?. I cannot get it to work even changing the to pyton 2.7.3. ??? Thanks

pobtott Featured By Owner Nov 2, 2014

I have always intended to release another version. It is just not a high priority task so I don't know when it will come.

bluestreak0 Featured By Owner Edited Jul 14, 2014

Hi, nice icons, but your script is giving me grief

$ cd ~/.icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4/scalable/scripts
$ python2 script_gui.py

You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional.

python2: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.

zsh: abort python2 script_gui.py

Any help? Python2 is at 2.7.8, and I am using cairo-infinality-ultimate

pobtott Featured By Owner Jul 14, 2014

I did a quick search of your problem and it seams to be related to missing fonts.
This forum thread bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.ph… looks to be about the same problem.

beergeek715 Featured By Owner Jun 11, 2014

Hi, I'm having some trouble with your script. when i try to execute the script it says there is no such directory. I have it in usr/share/.icons and i'm trying everything i can think of to execute the AnyColorYouLike script. I'm using #! btw. I'm trying to get the icon color like this guy's.

pobtott Featured By Owner Jun 13, 2014

Python 2.7 is required to run the script maybe you are missing that? Which directory is missing? If you could post the output maybe I could be of more help.

beergeek715 Featured By Owner Jun 14, 2014

i have pyton 2.7.3. If i open the root terminal at the ACYL folder and then type in anycoloryoulike this is what i get

roottappy:/usr/share/icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.9.4# AnyColorYouLike
bash: AnyColorYouLike: command not found

If i try navigating there like in your description it tells me the directory cannot be found.

pobtott Featured By Owner Jun 14, 2014

2.7.3 sould be fine. You can't cd to the folder? That is weird.... I really have no clue what could be doing that.

Try opening the "AnyColorYouLike" script in a text editor and then try to run the commands in the script manually by yourself. Maybe that will work better.

beergeek715 Featured By Owner Jun 17, 2014

got it, i just had to go in the scalable folder and right click, execute the .py script. thanks.

clerafel Featured By Owner May 4, 2014

hello, waiting for a new version of these icons, congratulations. One question, when you install the theme icons, these do not replace all applications. I detected two that are not replaced, clementine and chromium.

Your will know why?

pobtott Featured By Owner May 5, 2014

Both those icons are in the theme, maybe the developers renamed the file name of the icon so it does not match anymore. If you can find the proper file name for the applications icon just copy the corresponding icon in /scalable/apps/ and rename the copy to the correct name.

GuiDoctor Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2014

this set is soooo cool! love it
On mint it works great, but on Manjaro 0.8.9 can't get it to work the config gui???

(I get an error message in terminal saying :

print "You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional."

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

any thoughts? thanks so much

pobtott Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2014

Most likely you have the wrong version of python. When they updated to python 3.0 backwards compatibility was broken. So I suggest you try to install python 2.7. It should be possible to have several versions of python running.

GuiDoctor Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2014

thanks! got it working with older python, love these icons! they are great

The command isn't working, it says "NameError: name 'sys' is not defined". What is happening?

pobtott Featured By Owner Feb 23, 2014

What python version do you have installed? The script is not compatible with 3.x versions.

Wesdy Featured By Owner Feb 23, 2014

It's 2.7. After looking a lot on google and through the comments I found your comment that suggests two packages to make it work and it worked. You should say these details in the description. Thank you, anyway.

Very nice

But i have some questions. Will this icon set work with Xfce? Can I install icons in /usr/share/icons? Any updates of icons soon? Roll Eyes

pobtott Featured By Owner Jan 10, 2014

I think it will work in xfce and yes, you can install it in /usr/share/icons, you might need to run the script as root tho.

As for updates, I plan on releasing a new version but have no idea as for how long it will take.

Lehthanis Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2013

Running this on Arch with XFCE...I installed gconf...but this is the output I get from the script:

print "You do not have the gconf module installed, however it is optional."

Any ideas?

Lehthanis Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2013

The carat is pointing to the ending quotes for the print line btw.

pobtott Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2013

What version of python is installed? The script is quite old now and is written for python 2.
