Re: [Orgmode] [ANN] org-icons.el

[Richard Riley]

Could someone provide a little more detail on how to use this please? I
can see one has to clone the git repo, but then what? The readme just
says to "patch the org mode code". Which version of the org code? What
is the org.el in the org-icons lisp dir? How does one patch?

Thanks for any help,

r.
