The Log-out icon is wrong after Whisker Menu update

[dolphin_oracle]

@Huckleberry Finn you're settings icon is wrong, just like mine.

***edit*** or is that the right icon?

The problem at my end is with the Tango theme. I've removed most themes on my system, including Papirus, but the same problem exists with the themes I tested.

Note how wide the entry box is now due to the larger icon...

@dolphin_oracle Yep. In fact I just noticed the other 2 (totally 3 are different) but I just thought (as they still looked nice) that would be something due to version change in icon theme. (But, no, same versions with the installed one , so something else is causing similar but different icons to be used with the same icon theme & version).

Whatever, here's the original from Live Session, MX Jan. Snapshot - Xfce 4.14 :

yep. Xfce is rolling out some new icons, and its causing problems. its one reason we are not going to push 4.16 out on mx19 except via the special repo we sent out for the more adventurous among us.

the whiskermenu plugin in main should probably be rolled back, if possible.

Luckily this week I've been updating my rolling distros on my PC!

I'll be careful not to update whisker until that update is pulled. Or an older version is pushed with a prefix to make it look newer.

Meanwhile, this doesn't seem to be just about Whisker cause they're the same icons (switch user and lock screen) in Actions menu on panel. (But they still look nice, causing no issues) (Xfce 4.16 )

the big annoying one right now is desktop PC's losing there icons in the system tray for xfce4-power-manager.

there are bound to be other hiccups.

I installed my favorite Steampunk 3D icons from Ollifri that are no longer on his account on pling! and I do not like that I am seeing these non theme icons suddenly. Glad to know I am not the only one lol! But it is annoying. This is what happens when we just update anything that pops up in the updater :-P but I changed my whisker menu log out icon by taking the original that is in my selected theme and I copied it in Root Thunar at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/actions/ and renamed the offending icon and then named MY ICON to xfsm-logout.png and it showed up correctly when I pressed my MX menu button! So it is faster and easier than you would think to fix that but you DO have to KNOW where to find the offending icon which I did not and had to hunt for it. hicolor is the system wide default icon set when no other icon set is present. So this will NOT be the only icon you may have to manually tweak with any subsequent updates. For now, as suggested, lock your whisker menu at the current and do not update yet or just find those offending icons one by one and slowly rebuild your own. One thing that almost hung me up was that MY icon theme uses .SVG and the offending icon in hicolor/48x48/actions is .png. So when I try to resize the svg icon to 48x48 and save as a png, mirage complained it is not a supported format! You have to have gimp or some other multiformat graphics editor which sucks for limited HDD space as gimp takes up some space but it is fine, I did what I had to do and then I can remove gimp and regain my HDD space. Another thing is that I actually had to resize MY icon theme icon for logout to 32x32 and not 48x48 as that size was correct for the button on the whisker panel BUT I had to leave the 32x32 sized icon IN the 48x48 FOLDER of usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/actions. Do what you like to make it look like you want but that is what I just did and got my theme icon back

Since papirus icons were working correctly, I copied the xfsm-logout & xfsm-shutdown icons from there and put them into the icon directory I was using.
on CLI, cd to the icon directory. sudo gtk-update-icon-cache
logout and log back in and now it looks normal. Could change or modify any svg icon and give them those names and they will work.

The icon in the menu for logout is wrong, however when I click it and I can pick between logout, restart, shut down.. that stuff, the icon there is as it should be.


Ah well.. I just sneeze when I open the menu, that way I don't see the wonky.
