Icon Theme Updater
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Sorry, this is not an Icon Theme but python scripts.
* Summary
Icon Theme Updater is little python scripts which renews legacy icon themes so that they work on newer desktop programs. The goal of this scripts is to automate all tasks to update icon themes.
Icon Theme Updater uses icon-naming-utils http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library as a database, so it will work as long as icon-naming-utils is updated.
It also use 'another-icon-mapping.txt' included in this archive as an additional database, but it is a definitely incomplete work. If you have more information about how legacy icons were moved to new place, please report here.
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Icon+Theme+Updater?content=96204
Icon Theme Updater require icon-naming-utils and python-2.5.(It will work on python-2.6 too.) It currently doesn't work on python-3.0.
* Usage
Run iconup.py in the theme directory which you want to update, or pass the path to the directory as an argument.(you can specify multiple directories at once.)
Ex.
[~]$ tar -zxf IconThemeUpdater-0.9.1.tar.gz
[~]$ IconThemeUpdater/iconup.py .icons/nuvola
will update "nuvola" theme installed in your home directory.
You may see some warning messages, but just ignore it as long as the renewed theme works. There is several option switches which you can find out by running with "--help" option.
* Icon Themes
You can get Icon Themes here.
