Problem with iconset

[jsfarinet]

Code: Select all

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

Great - and thanks a lot. That did it!!!

Turning back to the original with the nuoveGnomeGray or nuoveKDEGray icon set(s): I saw there is in /usr/share/icons a folder "icon-naming-utils" containing one file: "legacy-icon-mapping.xml" (i'm not aware of such in Debian). Now, might it be tweaking that file would help? Eventually, it could be deleted? Or would that break something?

Btw, in that file i only see references to Gnome not to Mate (is it that Mate's icons are linked symbolically to the Gnome, but setting "inherit=mate" works also) ... (?)

I checked manually and certainly the nuove icon sets contain a standard folder icon or the icon for unvisible text (and bash) files, which using the nuoveGnomeGray version are not displayed if i do not set the inherit statement. Using that statement (either for gnome or for mate) on the other hand breaks the coherence of the appearance.

TIA.

If you posted a link to the iconset you're trying to use, it would be so much easier to troubleshoot it...

Working fine here in fluxbox+pcmanfm. What are the contents of your ~/.gtkrc-2.0?

Code: Select all

# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.

gtk-theme-name="Boje-Blue"
gtk-icon-theme-name="mate-brave"

I did not touch that file.

And is there anything in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine file?

It does not even exist. Never touched there something (safe using lxappearance).

OK, so you can create one and add this line to it:

Code: Select all

gtk-icon-theme-name="your_icon_theme_name"

I did, but that doesn't help for the original problem, i.e. when i choose nuoveGnomeGray the icons for unvisible files and generic folders are not displayed (in Thunar). Since you told me if i remember correctly, there was no problem inPcManFM,may be there's something to figure out for Thunar?

PS. I prefer Thunar over PcManFM because i'm under the impression it handles removeable devices and cards better. Moreover, seems PcManFM gtk is not anymore really developped (only bug fixes) because they're concentration all power on LXQT which in my experience (i participated in testing lubuntu-qt ppc) is still far from really being in a state to be useable "carefree".
