Custom color variants

You can generate your own Mint-Y icon colors theme easily.

Say you want to generate a "Suse" theme with these colors:

1. Go to src/places
2. In generate-color-variations.py, each VARIANTS.append({...}) line defines a color variant.
3. Add an extra line with the proper name and color codes and save the file. For instance, to make the Suse theme you would add this line:

VARIANTS.append({"name":"Suse","folder":"183f50","backfolder":"00a489","paper":"e4e4e4","emblem":"e4e4e4"})

4. Run ./generate-color-variations.py. This generates Suse.svg.
5. Run ./render_places.py Suse. This generates the new icon theme in ../../usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Suse.
6. You can test your theme by copying it to /usr/share/icons/ or ~/.icons/
7. This theme only contains places icons, but it inherits Mint-Y, so you can package it or distribute it to anyone who already has Mint-Y installed.

Useful commands

To find circular symbolic links:

find . -follow -printf ""

To find broken links use ./deadlinks or:

find -L usr/ -type l

To find files with spaces in their filenames (that breaks the icon cache generation):

find . | egrep '. '
