Hi Stefan, icon sets are designed to look good as a set. Take a quick look at http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/ to see the vast landscape of icon sets. It's not visually pleasing to mix and match icons, and worse, the metaphor can differ between sets as well. Leon is using a soft and pastelly theme which clashes with the default gnome-icon-theme from which the diropen/file-manager icon comes. Jan's patch will ensure that the Emacs icons matches the icon theme that the user has chosen. I agree with Leon that dired and the file manager application are equivalent. Unfortunately, I don't see a GTK file-manager icon so perhaps Jan can speak to how it can be picked up by the current theme. If it's as easy as renaming diropen to file-manager, I'm all for it. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E. Vote Libertarian!
