Created attachment 3193 Changes icon used for file operation dialog window and systray applet I would like to suggest using stock_copy instead of stock_folder-copy for a few reasons 1. Not many icon themes include stock_folder-copy 2. The default gnome theme does not include stock_folder_copy 3. gnome-icon-themes-extra does not contain stock_folder-copy 4. If stock_folder-copy does not exist in the icon them, you get the a "unknown" icon An alternative solution would be to check to see if stock_folder-copy exists and if not, fall back on stock_copy. I have attached a patch that changes stock_folder-copy to stock_copy.
I agree, lots of themes don't have this icon. That said, better use the GTK_STOCK_COPY macro.
I agree, it should use stock_copy.
This is fixed in master and I'm pondering to apply the same fix to xfce-4.8. I chose a different solution though which is to ship stock_folder-copy and stock_folder-move ourselves for the reason that there are no appropriate replacements in GTK+ or in the icon naming specification. Feel free to comment if you disagree. commit 8f7a02c162880e48891ea5528e3513d71ef6105f Author: Jannis Pohlmann <jannis@xfce.org> Date: Wed Jan 26 23:17:18 2011 +0100 Ship stock_folder-{copy,move}.png with Thunar itself (bug #6851). These icons were part of older gnome-icon-theme releases but have now disappeared. There are no useful equivalents in the icon naming specification or the GTK+ stock icons (well, there is GTK_STOCK_COPY, but no appropriate replacement for "stock_folder-move"), so for now it's best to ship the icons ourselves, I think.
Thanks. I think that solution would work alright. Do you know if the icons were intentionally removed from gnome-icon-theme?
I don't know. They disappeared with this commit and never appeared again: commit fd88a47bba6ee8c0419f9f97ce8c619e23babe89 Author: Jakub Steiner <jimmac@gmail.com> Date: Tue Oct 13 20:25:35 2009 +0200 use moblin-style 'build system'
