How to remove icon themes?

David,

I installed your dark-glass skyblue theme on my eCS 2.0RC4 installation. 
The icons are very pretty.  However, I make extensive use of the eCenter. 
The new icons look too much alike for my old eyes to distinguish them
easily at the size that they appear on the eCenter.  I cannot find a way
to switch to the standard eCS theme.  How does one do that?

You might consider the usability of your icon themes at small size.  I
think that's just as important as nice graphics.

Hi Mark

I have found that most Linux PNG icons do not look good at extremely 
small sizes.  If you go to KDE.org, you will see that most desktops are 
set to large icons.

If eCenter is critical, I suggest you uninstall the WPS Wizard theme and 
go with one of the itheme icon themes I uploaded to Hobbes.  These look 
best at the smaller sizes 40x40 and less.  If you upgraded WPS Wizard to 
the latest fix, it comes with an uninstall cmd.  Or if you haven't, 
simply move your darkglass theme to another location and restart the 
desktop.  With the present setup, the only way you can use the older 
itheme icons is if WPS Wizard does not support that class or the Object 
ID is not supported.

And yes, the darkglass folder icons do not show up well at all at the 
smaller sizes.  Hopefully, after I finish with the darkglass icons and 
move to some other theme, possibly, some of these might look better at 
the smaller sizes.

If only eCenter/XCenter supported resizing the toolbar and its icons. 
There has been a ticket in on that for years.  However, when you have 
one man maintaining XWP, he first has to have the time and then the 
desire to delegate some of his already not enough time to do it.

If the Russians could get their eSchemes Deluxe to coexist peacefully 
with WPS Wizard, then their enhanced toolbar would be the ideal way to 
go.  But alas, the world is just not a perfect place.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Removing the dark-glass theme from its directory restored the icons to the
installation default.  Thanks for the help.
