I also have hardy heron, and changing that one line is all i had to do to make it work. But maybe we have different versions of the glass icons. I am using version 0.3 available from the glass themes website, instead of 0.2 which is here on gnome-look. Here is the link:

http://glass-theme.net/projects:gnome_icons:releases

Hope it helps!

This was a hard one...

After testing the whole evening, I found out that the whole directory structure and the theme-file should be created from start. The icon theme inherits the gnome theme but that one is a lot different.

This workaround made me happy:
Create some links in /usr/share/icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/
- folder.svg -> /usr/share/icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-directory.svg
- user-trash-full.svg -> /usr/share/icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-trash-full.svg
- user-trash.svg -> /usr/share/icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-trash-empty.svg

And leave the index.theme untouched.

Dear developer(s): Please update the package. And (please²): Trash that 0.3 thing and rather make 0.2 perfect. The old icons look MUCH better.

I'm not quite with you. What do you mean by "create some links"? And I have no glass icons folder inside usr/share/icons? Any idea where my glass icons folder might be? I'd be very grateful for your help.

This is what I did (I had the same problem with no Glass Icons folder)

1. Open Nautilus with root permission (terminal - sudo nautilus)
2. Extract the Glass Icons tar.gz file into /usr/share/icons folder.
3. Go to /usr/share/icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/ and right click the gnome-fs-directory.svg file and select the Make Link option. This will create a link and you rename that link folder.svg. Do the same with the other 2 files.
4. Once I did this I was able to customize my theme with the Glass Icons showing in the icons area.

Good Luck!

the /usr/shar/icons translates to ~/.icons

after doing:
- folder.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-directory.svg
- user-trash-full.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-trash-full.svg
- user-trash.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-trash-empty.svg

also do:
-user-home.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-home.svg
-computer.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-client.svg
-applications-internet.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-web.svg
-user-desktop.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-desktop.svg
-network-workgroup.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/filesystems/gnome-fs-server.svg

changing icon theme and then changing back can replace a reboot

also, theres more!
-drive-harddisk.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/devices/gnome-dev-harddisk.svg
-drive-optical.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/devices/gnome-dev-removable.svg
-drive-removable-media.svg -> ~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/devices/gnome-dev-removable.svg

...and that's all I've seen so far

Hey there!
Your theme is great!

I have found a link about the standard icon names: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/latest/ar01s04.html

I think a lot of icons must be renamed, e.g media-flash, media-floppy, ...

I'm going to check this.

I've made a bash-script.

http://stefan315.st.funpic.de/tmp/glass-icons-fixer.bash

You must download it and set the execute-privilege.

It uses the folder ~/.icons/glass-icons, where is a copy of the theme, if you installed it via Gnome.

I copied the icon theme into my /usr/share/icons/glass-icons directory and this script unable to work. The error is:

~/icons/glass-icons exists... no

I don't really quite understand what it means by:

You must have installed "glass-icons" in ~/.icons/glass-icons

Thanks for any help :-)

~ = /home/<your username>

Download the tar.gz-archive from this site.
Extract the archive and copy the folder glass-icons to /home/<username>/.icons
(All folder with . at the beginning are hidden, you must press [CTRL] + [H] in nautilus to see all files)
Run my script.
Now you can move the folder from /home/<username>/.icons/glass-icons to /usr/share/icons/glass-icons. (You must be root)

/usr/share/icons = theme for all accounts on the pc

/home/<username>/.icons = theme ist only for <username> available

Excellent. I love this icon set. Many thanks to Stefan315 for the script. I've downloaded and run it, then re-zipped the icon set and uploaded. Please see http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=86629 for the re-packaged tar.gz. No more hacking required to get it running :o)

This is a great icon theme!!!

Using firefox 3.0,
you may create link from firefox-icon.svg to firefox-3.0.svg to enable the firefox icon.

Hope other system icons will be glass-like !!!

p.s. I am using Ubuntu 8.04, and it's great for desktop system.

Hi!

You can use the latest version of the icon theme via svn. (You should remove old versions.)
Open a terminal and execute these commands: (for this you need svn aka subversion. In Ubuntu type this "sudo apt-get install subversion")

cd ~/.icons
svn co https://glass-theme.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/glass-theme/tango-icons/trunk/Glass glass-icons

Maybe you must restart Gnome, but then you can use the new icons. This should work very well.

You can keep it up to date with:

cd ~/.icons
svn update

Thanks, this is much better than running a script. Still, you should probably release a new tarball at some point.

I really like this icon theme. I have one problem with it now though: the icon for folders is not showing up correctly, I get an icon that looks like a sheet of paper now.

To fix the problem where the icon looks like a sheet of paper, navigate to where the 'places' icons are installed (~/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/places). In there is a broken link, inode-directory.svg, which erroneously points to /home/stefan/.icons/glass-icons/scalable/places/folder.svg instead of folder.svg. Fix this by deleting the broken link, and then creating a new link to folder.svg (right click folder.svg in the places folder, select 'make link'). Rename the new link to inode-directory.svg.
