Compiling from source and I'm trying to setup default theme and icons but it doesn't seem to be working.. Edited this file: etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml to be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <channel name="xsettings" version="1.0"> <property name="Net" type="empty"> <property name="ThemeName" type="string" value="Xfce"/> <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="Tango"/> .... And it doesn't seem to pick up the icons.. this technique worked for me in 4.8.. I installed the Tango icons in the share/icons directory. Any ideas? Please help.. thanks, Mike
Also if I change a theme or icon set nothing in the session updates.. almost like it completely ignores the request...
I recompiled all the packages from scratch to see if I messed up something or missed an error or dependency.. but I'm not having much luck :( I have been able to compile from scratch for 4.8 without any problem in the past.. seems like 4.10 is giving me trouble. Here is a list of the dependencies I'm using to build against: atk-1.29.92.tar.bz2 glade3-3.6.7.tar.bz2 pango-1.22.4.tar.bz2 cairo-1.8.10.tar.gz glib-2.28.8.tar.bz2 pixman-0.12.0.tar.gz dbus-1.5.8.tar.gz gtk+-2.24.11.tar.gz tango-icon-theme-0.8.90.tar.gz dbus-glib-0.92.tar.gz icon-naming-utils-0.8.90.tar.gz Terminal-0.4.8.tar.bz2 fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz intltool-0.41.1.tar.gz vte-0.24.3.tar.bz2 gdk-pixbuf-2.22.1.tar.bz2 libwnck-2.30.7.tar.bz2 xfce-4.10.tar.bz2 Again, I can start a session fine, but I can't change theme or the icons.. it seems to completely ignore the changes when selecting either one. thanks, Mike
Not sure if anyone even looks at these requests but I'll add a couple of things.. and how I got it to work finally.. I have these set in a session: XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/xfce-4.10.0/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/xfce-4.10.0/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share XDG_MENU_PREFIX=xfce- and in the /opt/xfce-4.10.0/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml file I have this: <property name="ThemeName" type="string" value="Xfce"/> <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="Tango"/> But it doesn't seem to set the default... Also it doesn't seem to even look in /opt/xfce-4.10.0/share/icons/Tango when Tango is selected as the font for the user... This all used to work just fine in XFCE 4.8.0 so I'm not sure exactly what changed or what is broke (I really believe this is a bug at this point)... The work around? Created /opt/xfce-4.10.0/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and added changed this: Inherits=gnome,crystalsvg to this: Inherits=Tango,gnome,crystalsvg ... which seems to finally force xfce to look at /opt/xfce-4.10.0/share/icons/Tango for Icons... Please fix this... thanks, Mike
If xfsertingsd is running Xfce work is done, its for gtk to pickup and parse the theme.
