 Numix - Pidgin Tray Icons - README
=====================================

"Numix - Pidgin Tray Icons" is a icon set for the Linux GNOME-shell, whose purpose is to be used as tray icons for the instant messenger "Pidgin". The icon pack ships with different icons, that visualize all possible states, the application may be in. It contains various icons, that visualize the user's status, a icon, that indicates unread mails, a icon, that indicates unread messages, a icon, that indicates pending friend requests and a icon, that is shown when the messenger connects to the server.

This icon set has been created to be used together with the GTK-theme "Numix". It has been designed to optically fit into the appearance of the "Numix"-theme and therefore it contains graphics, which have been taken from the accompanying "Numix-uTouch"-icon theme.

The "Numix"-GTK-Theme and the "Numix-uTouch"-icon theme are available on Deviantart via the following URLs:

==============
 Installation
==============

For using the icon set, the png-files, that are contained by the subdirectories inside this package, have to be extracted to the homonymous folders inside the directory '/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/hicolor'. For installing the icon set, the shell script INSTALL.sh can be used. This script, that has to be executed as root, automatically copies all relevant files to the appropriate folders and replaces the original files. When using the bash script, the installation of this icon set is possible by running the following commands in a terminal (the name of the zip-file maybe has to be adjusted to the actual version of the release):

$ unzip numix-pidgin-tray-icons-v.1.0.zip
$ cd numix-pidgin-tray-icons
$ sudo ./INSTALL.sh

Since version 3.0, GNOME does not support program tray icons in the shell's top panel anymore. Nevertheless, showing the tray icons of applications such like "Banshee", that offer this functionality, can be forced by using  a GNOME-shell extension such like "Topicons", which is available via the following URL:
