Images for ShellTreeView and ShellListView -- were did they go?

[QEnnay]

Just messing with TShellListView and TShellTreeView and there are holes for what I assume are half-a-dozen TImageList with cute icons.

The last time I used these two components was Lazarus-1 or maybe Delphi-5 and they came with little Folder icons etc.

Is there a default set I can use? I am not smart enough with graphics to design and create cute little images.

Thanks

Where did they go? Nowhere - the Lazarus TShellListView and TShellTreeview never had built-in images. Only with the upcoming version 2.2 they will display the built-in shell images provided by the OS, and only for Windows (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.2.0_release_notes#TShellTreeView).

and only for Windows (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.2.0_release_notes#TShellTreeView).

Ahhh, the price of true OS-freedom. {sigh}

Nonsense. If you know how to achieve this for the other OSs provide a patch.

Woah back there Quick-Draw McGraw!

I was lamenting that by choosing the freedoms of using Linux-OS only the noisy windows is getting the grease.

That is, until you realize that Android is basically a Linux distro ... and Mac OS a BSD one

True up to a point. Neither Android nor Mac have to deal the array of desktop managers/environments used on Linux... each of them has their own.  Which brings us back to the original problem.

Foolishly naive me thought that FOSS developers would lean towards other FOSS projects first.

If FOSS stuff is going to favor non-FOSS just because there is ore of them, then Linux will never take it's place in the world.

But, I guess leaking tons of personal data hourly is not a concern for the Lemmings of the World. .

However if anyone wants to add the icons also on linux, they can complete my patch (see https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/18247).

@QEnnay
With your last 2-3 posts, basically you auto-assigned yourself to implement icons for TShellTreeView/TShellListView on linux.
