DIS Files

A DIS file is a DrPython Icon Set.

The format used is PNG.

Here is an example.

<close>fileclose.png</close>
<debug>finish.png</debug>
<end>exit.png</end>
<find>find.png</find>
<new>filenew.png</new>
<open>fileopen.png</open>
<prefs>wizard.png</prefs>
<printfile>fileprint.png</printfile>
<printprompt>filequickprint.png</printprompt>
<prompt>view_bottom.png</prompt>
<python></python>
<reload>reload.png</reload>
<replace>filefind.png</replace>
<run>1rightarrow.png</run>
<save>filesave.png</save>
<setargs>2rightarrow.png</setargs>
<whitespace>showmenu.png</whitespace>

Pretty straight forward at first glance. But why settle with something simple when we can just as easily make it complicated?

Let's say you want to store your .png files in the directory /home/user/drpythonthemes/drcool/. You put the *.dis file in this directory. Then, you create two directories, 16 and 24.

Put 16x16 images in 16, 24x24 in 24. Make sure they have the same filenames.

Then, simply put the filename of choice between the tags for the ToolBar item you wish to load that particular file.

For example:

/home/user/drpythonthemes/drcool/drcool.dis
/home/user/drpythonthemes/drcool/16/forward_arrow.png
/home/user/drpythonthemes/drcool/24/forward_arrow.png

Your .dis file will read:

<run>forward_arrow</run>

Leaving out a tag or leaving it blank will tell DrPython to load the default icon for that ToolBar item.

If you decide to leave out either the 16 or the 24 directory, DrPython will load the default icons for that size.
