Skype icon wrapper for linux

skype1ico

Skype icon wrapper for linux.

A very simple LD_PRELOAD wrapper that replaces original skype icons with your own ones.

Feel free to commit new icon themes!

Compilation & Installation

First you need environment that's able to compile 32-bit code. You also need libX11 and Qt and headers for them.

Run qmake -spec linux-g++-32 && make

Then you will be able to start SkypeTab using LD_PRELOAD=pwd/libskype1ico.so skype

Note, LD_PRELOAD requires full path to the library

Usage

Just run skype from included .desktop file. Otherwise you can run it manually:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libskype1ico.so skype

Themes

By default, skype1ico checks the following directories for themes:

• $HOME/.local/share/skype1ico/
• /usr/share/skype1ico/
• /usr/local/share/skype1ico

Theme name is set up in this priority:

• SKYPE1ICO_THEME variable
• system icon theme name
• default

If no theme can be accessed, skype will fall back to default icons. For futher informating about themes please check out KFaenza/themerc theme configuration file.

skype1ico's Issues

Won't compile under Qt5

Hi, I'm getting the following:

g++ -c -m32 -pipe -O2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DSKYPE1ICO_LIBRARY -DTHEMES_DIR=\"/usr/share/skype1ico/\" -

In file included from skype1ico.cpp:1:0:

Makefile:662: die Regel für Ziel „skype1ico.o“ scheiterte

Maybe there are some changes that are required for Qt5?
