Topic: [QUESTION] Icon Theme not changing correctly.

I recently did a fresh reload from to #!-02.  System was working perfect with 01, and looks to be working
perfect with 02 except for icon themes.   I can't seem to install a new icons theme.  Wherever I put it, ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons/
or even using the gui to install the icon package it doesn't seem to properly load.   The preview only shows some of the icons, and if I swap to the theme I loaded you can see certain icons on the gui go to a [X] symbol.   I'm no expert by any means but it worked great on 01.  What could be the diff?

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: [QUESTION] Icon Theme not changing correctly.

Unfortunately you left IRC without reading my response last night.  wink

I remembered 8.10.02 (Full at least) does not have icons enabled by default.   A switch from the xfce settings manager to lxappearance is the cause.

Either use a terminal and type lxappearance or right-click on desktop>Preferences>User Interface Settnigs>Other tab, set to Text below icons.

I am hopeful it is this easy.  Good luck.

I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

Yeah, I've been having trouble staying connected but I think I got it resolved.  I wasn't actually leaving, I was losing connection and timing out.  sad

I noticed that the pref looked different.  I have used lxappearance before.   I'll report back and let you know asap.

Thanks man.

Just gave it a shot.  Didn't work.   I may just reload back to 01.   I dunno.
