Problem with iconset

[jsfarinet]

It's a Salix Fluxbox installation.

I installed the nuoveGnomeGray icon theme. But i does not work correctly. Most *NOT* specified folders are not shown. Then i tried some other sets (like F-Dark-KDE and nuoveKDEGray) but they also have problems and do not show all icons.

The same goes for the default theme Menta.

Practically, seems, only the Mate icon themes are fully working out of the box. Where could i tweak the system to correct this?

TIA.

These iconsets require some other iconset to be installed. I'm guessing this is gnome-icon-theme. You can install that, or tweak the iconsets to switch to mate-icon-theme instead of gnome-icon-theme...

Excellent advice. Thanks. But now, nuoveGnomeGray takes the standard folder icon out of the gnome icon set. On the other machines, it takes its own standard folder icon. The reason why (for this differing behaviour), is not really clear to me.

I also can tweak it to stick with the mate icon set, but the it behaves the same way, only taking the mate standard folder icon instead ... (?)

There should be an index.theme file in the iconset directory. Look inside for a line that starts with "Inherits". This lists all other icon sets it needs. It's probably using folder icons from yet another iconset.

I saw (and did that) already. I think there must be somewhere else an error. I do not know if some of my other problems are connected or not. As for the mouse theme, when i choose for example redglass, it behaves (and shows up) correctly on the desktop but within the programs, the mouse changes to the (ugly) default mouse.

I think you need to restart your session for the mouse theme to apply everywhere.

That did not work. But i see in Abiword or Gnumeric the set cursortheme works. It does *NOT* in this Torbrowser though ...

Not sure what this Torbrowser uses, but for applications that don't behave, there is a symlink /usr/share/icons/default that points to the obsidian-cursors theme that is used by default. Make it a link to your preferred theme instead.

Seems that file got lost. How would i re-create it?

TIA!

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/icons
sudo ln -sf yourcursortheme default
