Here it is using 48x48 (looks better to me):

With increasing use of ever higher resolution screens, 48x48 is possibly the best option.

And here, finally, using a Moka icon (wine-help) for the FAQ: like this the most now.

in your startup file, try exporting the gtk variables instead of just making variables. similar to the qt plugin variables.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Where do I find that code? Do you mean like this?

Code: Select all

export gtk-theme-name="Adwaita"
export gtk-icon-theme-name="hicolor"
export gtk-font-name="Sans 12"

@Jerry:
That desktop looks so polished that if you put that screen-grab on Distrowatch I bet users will come flocking to see what MX-fluxbox is all about! It has every general functionality that a normal user wants from a OS available with a single click, also keeping the desktop clean and smooth looking (much better Help icons, the previous one seemed it came from the dark ages- this one even seems to blend into the default desktop image).
(The only other icon I can imagine could be useful for every day MX users would be the XfCE4 app launcher, maybe? I almost didn't suggest that, the desktop looks so nice that one more icon may be too much - let users over-crowd the desktop if they want to...)
