The Log-out icon is wrong after Whisker Menu update

[Huckleberry Finn]

Here's something interesting: (Though I took these snapshots on Fluxbox session) On App Finder, on the left pane, Settings icon is the original and on the right, the new one, that's from

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.xfce...

And, though system-lock-screen and system-users are still there, it uses different ones.

@Eadwine Rose if you like, you can try to copy the ones (in the picture) that begin with system-xxx from Papirus. In fact, all others (like the xfsm... mentioned above) are links to these files.

Those are not the right icons though. I don't use THAT green. I have this green. Nuvola theme :)

Ah, yes, I mean just to make the ones on Whisker a bit better :) (till then)

It's bearable

Regarding this screenshot from Huck Finn, download/file.php?id=21356&mode=view

These are mainly the official new XFCE icons for 4.16. For instance, I definitely recognise the power manager, session and appearance icons.

I don't think they are papirus reimaginations of the xfce new icons. Did we even push any update of papirus?

So the fact that the new XFCE 4.16 icons found their way into MX19 (xfce 4.14) is likely an oversight in the updates pushed onto MX19?

The only confusing thing is: Some are still used from Papirus (as the original) and some from hicolor.. Say, though there's a Power Manager icon there (hicolor) still the original (Papirus) icon is being used on panel.. (I just wonder according to what.. If they changed all together then I'd say it's very normal.. )

I do not know, but this may be related to the updates? On top of icons changing mysteriously, now my QT5 apps are all white again and my GTK3 theme is not applying to the QT5 apps and additionally, the QT5 settings button in XFCE settings panel is not responding.. So.. just thought I would ask, is THIS happening to anyone else too?

Could be the size availability. If the hicolor icons from xfce only come in medium size and larger icons, and the panel or notification area icon needs to be smaller, then maybe Papirus is used?

I'm guessing also XFCE renamed a lot of their icons with the "org.xfce.[ ]" prefix now, and perhaps the corresponding desktop files (for the relevant xfce app) identify/target the icon by the full name. If Papirus or any other icon set doesn't have an icon/symlink with that complex long name for that icon, then it'll revert to the xfce new icon in hicolor.

That explains it! Cause when I copied MY ICON from the theme I have installed, to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/actions/ and then renamed the offending icon to something else, and renamed MY ICON to the now new default icon name XFCE whiskermenu is expecting "xfsm-logout.png" , I got an instant change to the log out icon in the whisker menu panel. I did have to resize my icon to 32x32 and NOT 48x48, because the icon is too big in the whisker panel button just like the hicolor default icon. So it took some manual work but I got it back. No gtk-icon-cache update required!. In theory you can compile your own "hicolor" icon pack using your own custom icons as long as ALL icons use the correct names and sizes and locations that correspond to the hicolor theme. For those that do not understand or know, hicolor icon theme is the systemwide DEFAULT fallback icons for MX LINUX. I found this out when slimming down my MX install iso snapshots. Sadly, this is alot of workaround and work and effort to keep what I like and set and use, because of some rogue updates.. What to do what to do..

Yes, I considered that, too. But then again: on Actions menu all are Papirus (suspend , logout etc) and only switch user and lock screen changed to hicolor , when they're all present in Papirus directory .. Same menu, same size requirement ...

(Meanwhile, I'm contented with the current situation: none looks ugly :) .. this is just out of curiosity.. )
