The Log-out icon is wrong after Whisker Menu update

[dolphin_oracle]

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?

since we do not have a QT5 settings button in Xfce by default, I have no idea what you've done. let's take that to a different thread. Its not related to the whisker update.

[dolphin_oracle]

in my case, the settings icon IS the new Xfce icon. so once theme designers catch up to xfce's new icon definitions they should be good.

Did we even push any update of papirus?

Nope, you did not.
- MX stable: 20200201 (one year old)
- MX test: 20201001 (4 months old)
- Debian backports: 20210201 (current)

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

Just to confirm, you're using xfce 4.16, right?

Which means your case wouldn't be the same as the OP and Eadwine, since you would already have all the official xfce 4.16 icons in hicolor by default.

Everyone still on xfce 4.14 would not have the new xfce icons with their new long names in hicolor as a fallback, so if the whisker menu update now points to the new xfce icon names for the logout/exit etc buttons, a user applying an older icon theme without those icon names would now display some other generic non-matching icon for the logout/exit buttons.

On the other hand, I've just updated a MX19.1 VM and I see no changes to the logout/exit button in whisker.

I'm using the Papirus version from Test Repo, but I suspect it was never a problem even for Stable repo's Papirus, since Hick Finn's screenshot shows the Stable Repo version and he didn't have any issues.

Testing on the limited number of other icon sets in my VM, I note that Numix/Numix-Circle, Evolvere2, Faenza, Korla, all have no problems with the new xfce icon names. Only Adwaita/Tango/Gnome, Moka/Faba (used in MXFB) and probably older icon sets have Eadwine's problem with the giant logout icon.

It might not be too much of an issue except for users who prefer older sets that are no longer maintained.

Here's hoping Stevo can push an update to revert the whisker package for those still using xfce 4.14, but for older, no longer maintained icon sets, the problem will surface again in MX21.

Suggested (manual) solutions have already been posted in this thread.

I am not on 16, I am on Xfce 4.14.2 indeed.

Yep.

here's a rebuild of 2.4.6 that pretends it's an upgrade for 2.5.3, headed for the test repo. Ignore the dbgsym packages, please.

I'd like to try the version in test but all that's offered besides 2.5.3 is 2.3.1-1, no 2.4.6. Is there a different test repo I could try?

it's not in test yet for some reason, but you can download my zip from my link up there, extract it, and manually install the deb file until it gets there.

I don't know how you're seeing 2.3.1 in our test repo, though--look for yourself: http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/test ... nu-plugin/

[TTwrs]

Thanks, Stevo. When I checked this morning, the package was in the repo. Seems it took a day longer to get there.

As to the versions which appear, this is what shows now in Synaptic:
http://la.mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/

2.5.3-1really2.4.6~mx19+1 (now)
2.5.3-1~mx19+1 (mx)
2.3.1-1 (stable)

I thought the 2.3.1-1 was odd because that seemed quite old, but that's what shows. If I follow 'my' test repo (la) to the package, 2.3.1 doesn't even show there. Hmm...

Anyway, your modded version did the trick. No more jumbo logout icon in the Whisker menu. Thanks!
