View Full Version : SCRIPT: Take back the Firefox & Thunderbird logo

This script is for Hoary or Breezy only !!!
To use it with Dapper please follow this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199193) !

This script is based from the HOWTO: Take back the Firefox Logo (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30133) from Sionide (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=16240).
Also thanks to Commuto, rune and Speque for their help with Dapper.

I wrote this script because the Firefox icon is replaced with the horrible blue globe everytime Firefox is updated.
I also added the possibility to replace the Thunderbird icon and its profile manager.

http://img263.echo.cx/img263/2825/windowbar6xq.png

You have the choice to replace the Firefox program icon, the Firefox document icon , the Thunderbird program icon and/or the Thunderbird profile manager icon.

Tested with Firefox 1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1 and Thunderbird 1.0.6-0ubuntu05.04.
Works in Breezy too (Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.5).
For Dapper (Ubuntu 6.06), please see this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199193) !

Here we go:
Create a new script:
$ sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons
Paste the following lines:
#! /bin/sh

#
# Restore the original Firefox and/or Thunderbird icons.

Great script!!!

Worked like a charm :)

I can confirm this also works with the backport of Firefox 1.0.3. Good job.

if it's not much asking... I would add two things:
1. Ability to not change the document icon
2. Change the thunderbird icons :D

After applying the script, you can also type :

killall gnome-panel

no need to logging out/logging in...
This little additional tip permits to regenerate the panel icons...

Sam

Thank you guys for you positive feedback :razz:

I've updated the script:
Possibility to replace the Thunderbird icon
The script asks for which icon to replace
The script asks for reloading gnome-panel

Enjoy !! :wink:

Exactly what I needed. Works like a charm.

NEWBIE NOTE: If you don't have imagemagick installed you'll need to. To do so, run... sudo apt-get install imagemagickThen you will be able to run the script without problems.

Great script!

One thing, however: The icons differ from the ones specified in the manual howto? There's a black border around yours, which IMO doesn't look as good as the others. But its a minor thing...

Thanks!
:shock: Sounds weird... The script reproduces the steps from the manual howto and uses the same pictures. Try opening the new pictures with an image viewer and check if the border is there...

Have a look on my Firefox and Thunderbird icons in the screenshot attached.

Have a look on my Firefox and Thunderbird icons in the screenshot attached.

That's the same I have, but I mean the program icon. Take a look at mine. Perhaps it's due to the resizing. The manual howto lets Firefox scale the icon I believe.

Sam

May 17th, 2005, 09:59 AM

Great script. I don't know why those icons aren't used int eh first place.
It's due to license restriction from the Mozilla Foundation which doesn't allow thoses icons to bundled into distributions.

That's the same I have, but I mean the program icon. Take a look at mine. Perhaps it's due to the resizing. The manual howto lets Firefox scale the icon I believe.
I don't see any border exept the window border which is near the icon. It must be your theme, try changing it to see the difference.

Eproxus

May 17th, 2005, 03:53 PM

This is what my previous icon looked like. Note the black border around yours, at the lower right.

Sam

May 17th, 2005, 04:01 PM

Eproxus

May 17th, 2005, 04:15 PM

Ok now I see what you meant... I thought of a square image border, not a border around the fox.

This is strange that with the manual howto it's different. Have a look on the script, it does exactly the same !
What do you do with imagemagick? As far as I know the manual way does not use imagemagick. It justs replaces the files, even the .xpm with a .png file.

Sam

May 17th, 2005, 04:27 PM

What do you do with imagemagick? As far as I know the manual way does not use imagemagick. It justs replaces the files, even the .xpm with a .png file.
You're right. The imagemagick usage was somebody's comment (here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=150047&postcount=3)). If you rename a file from png to xpm, the destination file is still a png despite his name. It's a better way to convert it.

However if you still doesn't want this feature, you can replace in the script
convert $TMP_DIR"mozilla-firefox.png" $TMP_DIR"mozilla-firefox.xpm"withcp $TMP_DIR"mozilla-firefox.png" $TMP_DIR"mozilla-firefox.xpm"
and
convert $TMP_DIR"mozilla-thunderbird.png" $TMP_DIR"mozilla-thunderbird.xpm" with cp $TMP_DIR"mozilla-thunderbird.png" $TMP_DIR"mozilla-thunderbird.xpm"

Sam

May 17th, 2005, 09:03 PM

I updated the script.
Removed imagemagick usage (xpm icons already converted)
Bundled icons in an archive

somebody suggested these to my email

I would suggest an alternate method of doing this. Although the method on ubuntuguide.org will work fine, it will be overwritten everytime an update for firefox or thunderbird comes out. The following method avoids that problem by using dpkg-divert to divert the original packaged files to alternate locations, avoiding the overwrite problems.

To take back Firefox:

wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/mozilla-firefox.png
wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/document.png
chmod 644 mozilla-firefox.png
chmod 644 document.png
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/icons/default.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/icons/document.png
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-firefox.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png
sudo cp mozilla-firefox.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-firefox.png /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/icons/default.xpm
sudo cp document.png /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/icons/document.png
sudo cp mozilla-firefox.png /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm

To take back Thunderbird:

wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
chmod 644 mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/messengerWindow16.xpm
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/messengerWindow.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-thunderbird.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-thunderbird.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-thunderbird.xpm /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
sudo cp mozilla-thunderbird.xpm /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/messengerWindow16.xpm

Hum, you probably did a typo or put the script in the wrong place. You should try the howto again, carefully.

It seems that one icon was missing... The error message is provided by the backup operation.

Now it's ok you have the icon from the downloaded archive.

Ah cool..that explains my error message too. Thunderbird was missing an icon when installed it, which would have led to that error message when I ran your super little script. :)

I'm not sure what I've exactly done before, because your script doesn't work. :(

I've replaced the FireFox Icon in the Panel (and in the menu) with the original one, but left the icons in the taskbar to the globe...
Now, when I run you're script, everything goes on as planned. All files are replaced, but after the gnome-panel is killed, the globe is still in the taskbar and the program itself. In the menu (and the panel) are now the original one (I've replaced them with my backupped one.).
I've looked after the files which should be replaced, if there went something wrong. But everywhere is the real FireFox logo and the globe as *.distrib.
I've got a firefox.xpm in my /usr/share/pixmaps folder (which is the globe), but even if I move it somewhere else, it won't change anything.

If I launch FireFox, there is indeed the real FireFox Icon next to "Starting FireFox WebBrowser".
Seems really weird. :?

Edit: Oh yeah. The ThunderBird icon was replaced properply... Everythings okay there.

awesome job on the script... now if only thunderbird would install, i could use the script for that too, and not only firefox.
getting the following error when trying to install thunderbird via apt-get/synaptic:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-thunderbird_1.0.2-1_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive: Success

Regardless... your script is great, thanks!!

I notice now when changing themes, the firefox/thunderbird wont change and stay the same.

In Synaptic, you could try right-clicking on the package and marking it for reinstallation.

This script is based from the HOWTO: Take back the Firefox Logo (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30133) from Sionide (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=16240).

I wrote this script because the Firefox icon is replaced with the horrible blue globe everytime Firefox is updated.
I also added the possibility to replace the Thunderbird icon and its profile manager.

http://img263.echo.cx/img263/2825/windowbar6xq.png

You have the choice to replace the Firefox program icon, the Firefox document icon , the Thunderbird program icon and/or the Thunderbird profile manager icon.

Tested with Firefox 1.0.2-0ubuntu5.2 and Thunderbird 1.0.2-1, as well as the backport versions Firefox 1.0.4 and Thunderbird 1.0.2.

Create a new script:
$ sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons
Paste the following lines:
#! /bin/sh

#
# Restore the original Firefox and/or Thunderbird icons.

What about doing the script steps manually? Maybe there is something wrong which is not displayed when your run the script. Try this howto (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30133) as well...

Nothing helped me. So I've searched the given directories and found some more globe icons, which weren't replaced.

In /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome/icons/default where some different files called main-window.xpm, mozapp.xpm and mozfile.xpm (all again with a 16 in it).
This were the files, which were shown in the taskbar and in the program itself. I don't know, what I've done wrong or what I did installed before... I think, I just installed FireFox through Synaptic and updated several times until 1.0.4.

But finally all FireFox icons are there. :)
Anyhow, Thanks for the How-To and script.

Changing the theme to use Human icons (which are nicer, I think) caused it to invariably go back to the wrong icon. I fixed this by copying the mozilla-firefox.png file to /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/apps replacing each of the following:

firefox.svg
mozilla.svg
mozilla-firefox.svg
mozilla-icon.svg

I don't know if all four are necessary or not, but I'm getting tired of trying to make the icon that shows up in the properties for the panel launcher match the icon on the panel (which makes sense like the Chewbacca defense).

This should be easily extended to the other icon packs for themes in the /usr/share/icons/ folders.

September 25th, 2005, 09:29 AM

thank you very much for the script, i've done the replacement earlier, but the Thunderbird icons remained the same... i've found out the my TB, for some strange reason, uses the Thunderbird icon located in /usr/share/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default . This is also the place for those horrible looking compose / address book / contact icons. So i asked one of my friends for the original icons, renamed and resized them and voila, the ugly icons are gone :) if someone would like to do this, here are the icons i used.
(note: default.xpm is the Sunbird icon, for the Calendar extension.)

Is what you're doing legal?

I didn't think you were allowed to redistribute the mozilla icons like you're doing.

I think they want their icons only to be used on official mozilla binaries, so they can control the quality of the products which use their icons.

The restriction by the mozilla foundation is on the packaging of the icons with the program files. Distros routinely patch progs pre-release, especially debian-based ones like ubuntu. mozilla foundation want to protect their 'purity' so refuse to allow the icons usage in those circumstances.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems wrong to me.

IAAL ;) , but i'm not making this comment as anything other than a user. ISTM that the use of the logo in the script is like ricers who put back on the car-makers logo after the customization. The car is no longer truly a renault or fiat, but renault and fiat can't stop you using the logo. <2c>

I don't have the /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox directory, I don't know Why ?

I installed the 5.04 from the DVD and I came with Fire fox 1.02

By the F.F. shortcut can I track the FF executable like in windows ?

Hey Memorydump!

I had to tweak the given script as the filename for mozilla-firefox.xpm has apparently changed to just firefox.xpm.

I just went through the script changing every instance of mozilla-firefox.xpm to simply firefox.xpm.

Worked just fine after that. Might have something to do with the fact that I'm running breezy and this is a hoary thread...dunno. I'm new to ubuntu specifically, and linux in general!

Good luck.

BTW thanks Sam for the fantastic script!

Just wanted to testify that it also works under Dapper Testing, minus some little tweaking
The firefox directory changed from /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ to /usr/lib/firefox/ , so basically you have to adapt the script to this new path.
Therefore for Dapper the script becomes (hard Search&Replace here, nothing intellectual):

Dapper complains about the use of cp --reply,
"cp: the --reply option is deprecated; use -i or -f instead"

I guess that '--reply=no' has to be changed to '-f'

I believe, that after that it would look like this (again some search & replace, worked in Dapper without complaining about anything): I just dist-upgraded to Dapper today and tried this script. No joy. Is there anything you see I'm doing wrong? user@ubuntu:~$ sudo kwrite /usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons
Password:
ScimInputContextPlugin()
~ScimInputContextPlugin()
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo restore_mozilla_icons
Replace the Mozilla Firefox program icon (y/n)? [y] y
Replace the Mozilla Firefox document icon (y/n)? [y] y
Replace the Mozilla Thunderbird program icon (y/n)? [y] y
Replace the Mozilla Thunderbird profile manager icon (y/n)? [y] y

Do you want to divert the original packaged files to alternate locations
(make the changes permanent) (y/n)? [y] y

Yep, I just tried myself. It appears that the file is corrupted. Maybe some maintenance on the ubuntuforums server causes that. You should wait a little bit, if it doesn't work in a while I'll put a new archive and update the script.

You should wait a little bit, if it doesn't work in a while I'll put a new archive and update the script. Well, I just replaced all the icons manually, but I'm sure the updated script should work fine, at least before June 1.

This is my temporary solution:

1. download the icons (in the first post)
2. copy it in a dir called "tmp" in your home dir
3. execute this script:

This is my temporary solution:

1. download the icons (in the first post)
2. copy it in a dir called "tmp" in your home dir
3. execute this script:

In your mozilla_icons.tar.bz2 file there is a file named "mozilla-firefox.png".

It's now firefox.png (at least in Dapper anyway). I had to manually change it in order to complete the change, after running your otherwise great script.

Thunderbird is fine as is (for the time being anyway).

Hi,
Good work man, but this scripts is kinda a hack... you can also use dpkg-divert so that upgrades don't overwrite the icons. Check out the Wiki page I updated:

The latest update (updating thunderbird to version 1.5.0.2) seems to be incompatible with this script or something: thunderbird icons in the applications menu and in my custom launcher aren't updated by the script anymore...

Anybody else experiencing such problems?

Ubuntu (Gnome - Dapper up to date)
I experience exactely the same trouble.
It seems to occur since the last update of mozilla-thunderbird icons (ubuntu-artwork package)

EDIT : It doesn't work only for menu items (*.png files are now expected, no more *.xpm), but it works fine with window icons (window list and up-left corner icon)

Yep, confirmed that after the latest Dapper update (which included a new Thunderbird version) this script doesn't work for panel or desktop icons, but still works for the taskbar entry and the corner of the main window. Weird.

I'm running Dapper here. The recent update wiped out my Thunderbird icons too. First, I tried running the script again, but that didn't fix the problem.

Next, I opened Alacarte Menu Editor, right-clicked the Thunderbird entry, selected Properties, and changed the icon there. I just used the .xpm icons that were already in "/usr/share/pixmaps". After that, Thunderbird displayed the "real" icon in the Applications menu, so I right-clicked that Thunderbird entry and selected "Add this launcher to panel". No more gnarly brown envelope in my panel.

This worked perfect for Firefox in Dapper, I don't have Thunderbird so I can't comment.

Here's what I did to correct the problem with thunderbird 1.5 on dapper.
I saved the xpm as a png, then copied it to the correct locations. The icons look correct for now. The copying code i used is below and the png is attached. hope this helps for anyone else looking for the solution.

cp mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.png
cp mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-pm.png
cp mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.png
cp mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-pm-menu.png

cool script!

one question though, is it possible to change the icon used?

because i want to use an icon i believe is better than the default ones

more specifically, one of these two...
http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/packs/firefox2005.html
http://iconpacks.mozdev.org/packs/firefox-crystalball.html

thnx

Yes, with a little hack in the script (not wget'ing the file but getting it from the filesystem). But aren't these iconpacks self-installable ?

yes, but they don't work

When it is loading, the icon on the taskbar is the cool one from the site but after that (and i have used ur script) it returns to the original icon. :'(

Hello. I'm a complete Newb and cannot seem to be able to run this script:
Everything goes well up to the copy/paste.
Then when it comes to entering the command to execute script, nothing happens. It seems my "terminal" isn't responding to any comands. Opening another "terminal" and entering "sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons" I get a response "cannot access '/usr/local/bin/restore_mozilla_icons' no such file or directory".

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

David
Hi,

I think you didn't save the file after the copy/paste step. When you create a new file it isn't written to the disc until you save it.

The terminal is locked because you ran a command which is already running (in your case 'gedit'). So if you save the file, then close the text editor, your terminal will be unlocked. And you'll be able to do the next command (chmod) on the newly created file.

But beware, you're in the topic for Ubuntu Warty/Hoary. If you use Dapper (the current latest version), please use this script (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199193) !!

Thx for the script.
But i use xubuntu and the icons are png based here.
I run you script and it nicely changed the firefox png and other logo's but the icon package did not contain png file for thunderbird and did not replace all the logo for thunderbird in /usr/share/pixmaps. If you could change the sript to alter all the logo file also png. for firefox and thunderbird the script should also work for xununtu. Could you do this please.

Thx you
Hi,

Since I'm not using Hoary anymore, please test this for me and I'll update the script if it works. This must work if Hoary's Thunderbird uses the same files as in Dapper:
Download the latest icons archive (http://ubuntu.globalvision.ch/mozilla_icons_dapper.tar.bz2).
Extract mozilla-thunderbird.png in your home folder.
Run the following lines in a terminal (skip the second block if you don't want to divert the original icons):
sudo cp -f /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.old.png
sudo cp -f /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.old.png

sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.png
sudo dpkg-divert --rename /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.png

sudo cp ~/mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.png
sudo cp ~/mozilla-thunderbird.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird-menu.png
Please tell me if it succeed. Thanks.

Yes it works, I use dapper to (xubuntu 6.06).

The resolution of the thunderbird icons. Is far lower than that of firefox. Can you fix that? If you made a new finall script. I can test it on a vmware image of xubuntu.

If you use Dapper this script is outdated. The new version is here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199193).
