adding control buttons to gnome-mplayer in Puppy lucid

[miriam]

In Puppy 520 Lucid the gnome-mplayer interface doesn't show any transport buttons (play, pause, fast-forward, etc).
I realised that it is looking for them, but simply can't find them.

Here is how I fixed that.

I've uploaded the button images to my site at:
http://miriam-english.org/files/mplayer-buttons/

Download them and copy them to this folder on your Puppy:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/stock/media/

Now, at a command line, type in (or copy and paste in) this command:

Code: Select all

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Done!

From now on, when you click on the "play" icon on the desktop to run gnome-mplayer you'll find it has all the proper control buttons, just as it should.

Enjoy.
