MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

The themes will change but depending on what else you have installed there may be conflicts with Qt. In particular if there are modifications to css files. Kde and fluxbox are a bad mix for this reason. Kde makes modifications to gtk settings files assuming it’s the only desktop installed. This also affects lxappearance.

While choosing the theme by lxappearance everything is allright to me. The choice affects as well gtk and qt apps.

The other problem with themes chosen by MX-Tweak is that it is good only on GTK3 apps, but has no effect on GTK2/QT apps. Here you've got on the screenshot MX-comfort-dark well applied on Thunar (gtk3) vs. Pcmanfm-qt and Featherpad with the default light theme. As you can also see in the featherpad window, the qt-platformtheme variables seem ok.

All the more reason to keep lxappearance available in mxfb-23 - or at least for now. The two applications surely don't bite ; I'd rather see them as complementing each other

I have been using MX-Fluxbox with lxappearance starting from the early beginning of the project and I've never had any problems with that program. But I also have an old Macbook with LXQT over MXFluxbox, and there were some sometimes similar problems while choosing themes with LXQT-preferences tab. But if it happened the theme could be set correct with the old gtk lxapperace.

On mxfb23-a2 I see just the backup icon used for a missing file.

so it's not finding /usr/share/mxflux/tint2/logout.svg?

Code: Select all

# Button 5
...
button_icon = /usr/share/mxflux/tint2/logout.svg
...

image is in github under

Code: Select all

mx-fluxbox/base-mxfb/icons-tint2/logout.svg 

this line was added to the install file 2 weeks ago

Code: Select all

base-mxfb/icons-tint2/*.svg usr/share/mxflux/tint2

tint2rc and MX-comfort.tint2rc use the same path.

After a reboot, I'm seeing it correctly--sorry.

[AlphaElwedritsch]

Repos are the same. But I can’t guarantee updating from alpha will get you the same thing as an official release. In the alpha case it will always report itself as alpha.

I See. Thx.
Makes sense

I can't duplicate the issue with the latest mx-tweak. not unless I have something conflicting.

can you provide the contents of the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file please?

I'm out of town for work the rest of the day, just FYI.

I've got no such a file in gtk-3.0 directory.
I've got only bookmarks and settings.ini

Here's the content of the latter:

Code: Select all

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Blackbird
gtk-icon-theme-name=Papirus-Dark
gtk-font-name=Sans 11
gtk-cursor-theme-name=DMZ-Black
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull

I've change the theme to Blackbird now to see if the issue is still present. And yes - gtk3 is Blackbird, qt - MX-Comfort-Dark, as I have set it with lxappearance before.

[dolphin_oracle]

after restarting the Qt application?

can you provide the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file?
