I tried to convert the DarkGlass_Reworked theme, but I get the message: "The file is not a valid icon theme archive".

Great script indeed, is still needed, and prolly will be needed for a long time to come :)

Great tool! Just Great! WOuld be possible to make something similar for Gnome themes as well? that would be ultra cool :D

gnome themes work out of the box in kde4. its just that they dont include all the icons needed for kde4 to look complete.

Apopatos

WOW! Didn't know that! Thanks a ton mate, I'll check!

Hmm, this does not convert a single icon for me... cp: cannot stat `./16x16/actions//message.png': No such file or directory it always has a slash too many...

Have you tried the latest version?

I tried to convert Crystal Project but I had some problems and the file index.destop is invalid :(

Nice, though not many iconsets are better than oxygen, still there are some. Btw, what iconset is in the screenshot?

speleoalex

In the screenshot I tested the script with the theme icOsX. Alex

Very Nice Work. This script was really needed to make kde4 complete. I appreciate a lot.

Hi again, I just used it and I got the resulting icon set for kde4. However, when I installed it using the kde4 control center, the theme did not appear in the list. It's like it has not installed it, even though I checked and the folder exists in $HOME/.kde4/share/icons/ Perhaps there is something wrong with kde4 and not with the script...

I think your idea is very clever for two reasons. First, there is no icon set for kde4 and second, using your script we can have every kde3 icon set available for kde4! I am about to try it, I will post back! Thanks!
