    [SOLVED] Changing Logoff Icon from Green Running Man WITHIN Crux theme

    Does anyone know how to change JUST the logout icon WITHIN a theme? I have chosen the Crux theme for my 8.04, but I really don't like the Green Running Man icon. I have tried to use gconf-editor to change just this logout icon to the standard Human gnome-logout... but nothing happens.
    Can anyone shed any light please?
    Thanks!

    Does no-one have any leads on this at all? No-one encountered anything similar, or have an idea of what I might try?
    Thanks in advance for any illumination!

    Re: Changing Logoff Icon from Green Running Man WITHIN Crux theme

    It seems as though there's no icon for that for the crux icon theme.
    So it seems to use the default gnome icon (the green running man).
    This icon can be changed to an icon that you like by overwriting the file, or perhaps copying an icon that you like into the crux icon directory.

    The green running man icon can be found here:
    /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/actions/system-log-out.png
    But I'm not sure exactly which one is used, as there are 24x24 icons, 32x32, 48x48, and scalable etc etc.

    I haven't tried this myself, but you may need to copy the nice system-log-out icon that you like into the relevant crux icon directory, which is somewhere in here:
    /usr/share/icons/Crux

    Remember you'll need to have root privileges to copy files around here.
    Work smart, not hard.

    Thank you very much for replying to me!
    Unfortunately, neither overwriting the Green Running Man nor copying the good icon into the Crux theme has done the trick.
    Is there any other way of achieving this, do you think?
    Best wishes from Brussels

    I've manage to change the running man icon to icon of my choice.

    gain root access:
    Code:
    gksu nautilus
    navigate to
    Code:
    /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/actions
    find icon name system-log-out. backup the icon by renaming it into system-log-out.png.original (or whatever name u prefer)

    then paste the icon of your choice within the same folder.
    change the filename to system-log-out.png

    voila.. new icon!!

    Thank you very much indeed! I have finally managed to replace that icon with the one I wanted! The key to success was that you knew the size was 24 x 24 - before I did not know which one I needed and thought it was "scaleable". Thanks once more

    I've changed the icon names and everything, but the log out icon hasn't changed... do I have to press anything or restart my computer or something?
