I saw the call to update the splash icon in
starttde
when adding echo "..." statements to look at the tde won't start issue. I
think
they will all come from ksplash and the individual icons will be in the default
ksplash theme file. /opt/trinity/apps/ksplash/Themes/<themeName> Look in
the theme.rc (xml file) for> the icon name.
Turns out this is an interesting --- bug.
The icon image names are identified in tdebase/ksplashml/themeengine/objkstheme.cpp. The
last image file name is go, or go.png. For whatever reason, some of the 8 icon names are
theme icons and others are generic images from tdebase and tdelibs.
The last image name, go.png, is theme dependent.
I'm using crystalsvg and oddly, that theme does not have a go.png icon. Hence, the
mime-empty.png icon is displayed for the splash image.
Creating new go.png images was straightforward because they should be duplicates of the
kmenu.png images. All of the kmenu.png images have been updated for branding. Simple
copy-and-rename and rebuild the tdelibs package. I have already pushed the new images to
GIT and run the splash test in KControl.
The remaining icon themes are installed by tdeartwork. All of the go.png icons --- and
kmenu.png icons, which all are the same, need branding updates. All of them show a gear
with a big K.
