The source link is indeed dead and dependency issues arise.

I'm on Fedora 20 and got this to work. I downloaded the .deb file and extracted the usr/ folder from it. With that, I repackaged it into an rpm with fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm).

However, when starting the MagIcons executable I got the "One or more dependencies are missing!" error.

It turns out that the Image library used in this Python program, PIL, has been forked under a new name: Pillow. The import statement required to use is slightly different.

This article helped me fix the source files: http://reinout.vanrees.org/weblog/2013/09/24/pil-pillow-image-import.html

I motified /usr/share/magicons/MagIcons so that "import Image" is now "from PIL import Image", I also had to modify MI_Functions.py, MI_Painter.py and MI_Iconcut.py, found in /usr/share/magicons/src/. The Image import statement there is now "from PIL import Image, ImageOps, ImageChops, ImageEnhance".

With these modifications I got MagIcons to work on my system. Hope this helps someone.

Is the source link dead, or is it just me?

Hello!

Thank you for this tool! :)

I would like to install it in Manjaro (based on Arch) from MagIcons_Source_0-3-0.tar.gz but a dependency is missing without tell me which.
python-gtk2, python-imaging, python-gconf, gettext are installed, of course.

Any idea?
Thank you in advance for your answer and have a nice day. :)

I'm confused... when coloring the Humanities icon set, you use to have settings for something like "extras" (for example, it would color the plus sign for the folder-new icon).

Were those settings removed?

Hi hhh,
you're right. At my installed version (old) of "humanities" are these settings available.

But MagIcons is only the tool to configure those icons. The changeable colors are defined at the icons, in this case at humanities. You should ask Jennie from Humanities. Maybe this settings have been removed at the last update.

Good luck!

Aha, that explains the "old" versions there. I renamed the versions I had in ~/.magicons, installed the others and now I have both versions.

Thanks so much for responding! Cheers. :^)

I just installed these iconsets and now there seems to be no way to desinstall them... Why?

Hi,
You can use your packet-manager (synaptic) to deinstall MagIcons :-)

The solution to my triple post above was python-glade2 , it should be added to the list of dependencies.

hi Dear,
I love your App now andI wanted to ask, if there is a possibility for a ppa-repository to make updating of your app easier for me.
At the time, I have version 0.2.0 and I wanted to upate to your new version.

Please tell me, how I can get this managed. Normally, I use the update-manager of Lucid or even Terminal.

Greetings

Hi Karmicbastler,

at present there is no repository for MagIcons. However on Ubuntu the update is quite simple:
Download the deb file and make a doubleclick on it. The packet installer "GDebi" will pop up and you can carry out an update. You don't need to remove the old version at first.
I have also thought about a repository but that is future.

Seems like a great idea. But it only works with one external iconset - Humanities, so it's not much use as yet.

OK, there are 4 sets that should work - I haven't read through the whole description :). Let's hope this will get developed.

In the near future every PNG iconset will be installable.

Great idea and great approach to building iconsets!

Any chances to make it work with Any Color You Like?

Hi Hoodoo,

ACYL is not installable by MagIcons. But of course it would be possible to use it together with MagIcons (I tried it out by myself).
I have seen, that many people like MagIcons and there are some iconsets that will be suitable with MagIcons. I'm planning to ask the developers to build up a MagIcons variant of their work.

So I think you need to be patient.
