MX-19 Feedback

It's a known problem covering many distros, not just MX. Unfortunately there is yet no fix.

Running the live USB. For some reason, the new icon for Windows Wireless Drivers doesn't show up in the XFCE Settings Manager.

It does show up in Whisker menu.

For what it's worth, the .desktop file has this line for icon:

Icon=ndisgtk.png

This restricts the icon to only the png version of the icon, and the new icon is a SVG file.

I tried changing the desktop file in root to remove the suffix in the icon filepath, but still the new icon does not show up. Instead, in XFCE Settings Manager, the ancient icon found in usr/share/pixmaps in .xpm format and found in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps in png format show up in XFCE settings manager after I change the desktop file.

I reported that way in the beginning, I guess it got overlooked in all the fray. The one for HPLIP Toolbox is also not there.

I'll take care of it tonight.

I can't do anything with the HP toolbox icon. its calling out a very specific icon location and I have no idea why the settings manager can't use it.

the settings manager is finicky about where icons are placed I think. Xfce seems to do interesting things with the icon names and extensions from time to time.

and many of the icon themes actually already have hplip icons (including the default papirus icon sets), they just aren't used by hplip. so if we want those to be used, then the package needs changed to have "hp_logo" as the Icon= designation in the desktop files, as well as dropping one of the hp_logo.png files into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps. this really needs done on the packaging level, as hplip-gui is not installed on MX by default.

the others will update soonish.

One slight display problem - I have 3 apps open - Thunar, Thunderbird & Opera. The icon for Thunar doesn't show in the panel - it's almost the same as the background. panel-thunar.png

This is bothering me too. If you open Thunar in your home directory or go to any of your standard, known subdirectories (Documents, Desktop, Downloads, etc.) the Thunar icon in Window Buttons is blue but if you create a new directory and open it in Thunar the Window Buttons icon is black or dark grey. Same if you go out into the file system. I keep ending up with multiple instances of Thunar open because I can't see existing ones' icons if they happen to be open on other directories than my ones in $HOME. The icon theme isn't being consistent. Either Thunar icons should all be blue or all be some other color. (My GTK theme: Greybird-MX. Icon theme: Papirus.)

EDIT: I just changed my icon theme to gnome as a work-around. Possibly actually a solution. (If you don't like papirus, use something else.)

Update just came in, the windows drivers one updated and has an icon now. Thanks for explaining DO :)

yeah you're right.
I saw someone has reported the same virtualbox theming issue sometime around 2018 in manjaro forums. not sure if it's now fixed or not though.


EDIT: found the ticket > https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18258

First , Congratulations for the MX19 releases ...
... Just a question, why the apparmor packages are into the MX19-32 version and not into the MX19-64 version ?

A "Mini" Feedback:

On Grub => Advanced Options (for any items) :

" Press "e" to edit selected item " ok,
But there's no: " Press "esc" to return to previous / main menu "

(though most users would guess to hit esc)
