I see trinity developers are talking about how to ease users contributions.
It inspired me to submit the following tip.
It changes the settings for the whole system.
Is there a way to add a custom icons folder in $HOME ?
Comments are welcomed.
(And feel free to correct my english.)

how to change the default color of the folder icon in Crystal SVG icons theme
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like the Crystal SVG icons shapes but I've been tired to see so much blue
folders in konqueror. I needed colors!
So I wrote down this tip for my personal use, and to share with others.
(Following commands must be run as root.)
1/ The first time:
# possible values for COLOR: blue green grey orange red violet yellow
COLOR=orange
ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons
for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do
echo $d
[ ! -e $d/folder_blue.png ] &&
[ ! -e $d/folder.orig.png ] &&
mv -v $d/folder.png $d/folder.orig.png &&
ln -v folder.orig.png $d/folder_blue.png
ln -v $d/folder_$COLOR.png $d/folder.png
done
2/ To change color later:
# possible values for COLOR: blue green grey orange red violet yellow
COLOR=violet
ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons
for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do
rm -v $d/folder.png
ln -v $d/folder_$COLOR.png $d/folder.png
done
3/ To undo all changes and revert to the default
ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons
for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do
echo $d
[ ! -e $d/folder_blue.png ] &&
[ ! -e $d/folder.orig.png ] &&
rm -v $d/folder.png $d/folder_blue.png &&
mv -v $d/folder.orig.png $d/folder.png ||
echo "ERROR!"
done
4/ Notes
* Crystal SVG icons theme is installed by kdelibs-data-trinity
* On Debian-based systems, dpkg diversions may be added:
for d in /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do
dpkg-divert --local --divert $d/folder.orig.png --add $d/folder.png
done
To remove:
for d in /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do
dpkg-divert --remove $d/folder.png
done
5/ Disclaimer
USE THIS TIP AT YOUR OWN RISK. BACKUPS PREVENT TEARS!
For example:
cp a /opt/trinity/share/icons/{crystalsvg,.crystalsvg.save}
To restore:
rm -r /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg
mv /opt/trinity/share/icons/{.crystalsvg.save,crystalsvg}
