I have been working on making Apache’s directory listings a bit more beautiful by creating a collection of KDE icons (Oxygen and Crystal). Apache’s default icons are a bit old and not that vivid. In fact, they were originally made for Mosaic. So, what I’ve done is handpicking some Crystal and Oxygen icons, making a few by combining two icons, modifying some Apache’s config files, writing the instructions and, finally, putting everything together. So, now we have apache2-icons-oxygen and apache2-icons-crystal.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adrian Schröter and Peter Pöml for the help and feedback.
The rpm packages are available on my OBS home project:

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

And how do I use those? I’ve installed apache2-icons-oxygen, changed my icons alias to “/usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons/” and edited the oxygen-icons directory settings accordingly, but the icons aren’t displaying at all. Is there anything else I need to do? Of course, I’ve restarted apache.
OK, never mind, I RTFM’d and found the answer 😉
I am planning to make it easier, stay tuned 😉
Interesting stuff 🙂 It’s much nicer to have a package instead of redoing it yourself all the time.
I wonder, would it be possible to get the oxygen icons upstream as well? The default apache install could also benefit from it.
It’s a good idea. I am going to work a bit on it, and then tell the Apache guys about it. 🙂
+1 great job!
Thanks! 🙂
How about pushing the packages to “Apache” devel project and then to Factory?
I have submitted the packages to the Apache devel project and they’ve just made some room for them 🙂
Yes, that’s the idea.
I want to see a bigger picture! 🙂
Yeah, this is truly great. “Wow! effect” sells even if the backend sucks (but of course, it mustn’t suck too much), so it is heart-warming to see all the little polishing effects even in something so hard-core as Apache dir listing
