i installed KDE on Arch Linux and am using the Breeze theme, although no matter what theme or set of icons I choose, icons do not show up in my terminal or file manager, which i believe are from pantheon. here is an image: Icons show up just fine in oher applications like Firefox and the settings program for KDE Plasma.

My system: debian12 + lxde (desktop) + pcmanfm (file manager).There are many sizes for the same icons: ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor 128x128 192x192 22x22 256x256 32x32 40x40 48x48 56x56 72x72 96x96 index.theme symbolic 16x16 20x20 24x24 256x256@2 36x36 42x42 512x512 64x64 8x8 icon-theme.cache scalable How can know the exact size of icon in the menu? They are 16x16 or 20x20 or 22x22 or 24x24? Which size is called in my OS? Maybe it is 16*16 in your OS setting,but differ in my OS setting.

UPDATE: It appears my icons are appearing below my screen. This is part of a screenshot, but I cannot see it on my monitor: ------------------------------------------------- I am running Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon. I changed the size of my panel, and now my desktop icons overflow to underneath the panel. How can I prevent this from happening? I want to be able to auto-sort it without it returning to being hidden.

I need to install an icon for a custom MIME type under Linux Mint 22.1. I've figured out a solution: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/797501 . However, it only works for one icon theme, but I would like to install the icon so that it works with all icon themes. I believe to understand that hicolor icon theme is the standard fallback theme, and I tried installing the icon for hicolor, as suggested, for example, in this forum thread: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=433144 . It did not work for me. Moreover, the standard Linux Mint interface for selecting the icon theme does not even let to select hicolor on its own, so it is hard to debug. What should I do?

I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 MATE I have a problem assigning an icon for custom (newly created) file type. **My task:** To set new double-click action and new icon for *.session files. **My sequence of operations:** xdg-mime install --novendor scite_session.xml xdg-icon-resource install --context mimetypes --size 48 text-x-session.png text-x-session xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor scite_session.desktop xdg-mime default scite_session.desktop text/x-session No errors have been displayed during these steps. Finally I've rebooted OS. **My files** (used in the above steps): *text-x-session.png* 48x48 PNG image file *scite_session.xml* SciTE session file *scite_session.desktop* [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Name=SciTE (session) Comment=Loading SciTE session GenericName=Text Editor Type=Application Exec=SciTE -loadsession:%f Icon=Sci48M Terminal=false Categories= StartupNotify=true MimeType=text/x-session; **My results:** Everything seems to be OK except icons. + I see proper type "text/x-session" in "properties" page of any *.session file + Double-clicking on any *.session file invokes proper action according to "scite_session.desktop" + But the **icon** used by caja for *.session files **is still the same** instead of my new icon. **My question:** How to set new icon for mimetype in Linux Mint? I've noticed that xdg-icon-resource created a copy of my .png in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes Probably, I should copy it manually somewhere else?

I updated my virtual machine from kali 2020.1 to kali 2020.2 using apt-get upgrade command in the terminal and it completed successfully. Suddenly I got power-cut and I am also not saved the machine state. After I booted up the virtual machine and checked it shows like some sort of stuck white screen and icons are not showing. If I tried to open any program or terminal, it wont open. Please check for attached screenshot for reference.

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon. With any theme that I use, the toggle switch icons look like this picture I have tried running:

sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/*
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache ~/.icons/*

But nothing's working. Not sure what caused this problem. Wonder if anyone can help debug. Any suggestions?

I have an icon theme that I'm working on, and I have few files that are missing icons. One of them is empty file and others are different type of files. They all had the same icons that don't came from my theme. I've found that you can use:

xdg-mime query filetype

to find the mime, and you only slash need to be replaced by dash and save it as svg file. But how to find a filename for the icon of the file that is missing an icon? Like those white files on the left below. I'm testing this on Fedora Xfce flavor.

I have learned to create a simple C++ GUI application using **GTKmm version 4**, and managed to compile it and make it run on Kubuntu. I have also defined a .desktop file with a custom icon and with the compiled GTK binary in its Exec section. I then placed the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. I however, have not figured out how to set the icon in the titlebar to the same icon I'm using in the .desktop file.The icon I see in the titlebar resembles the icon I see in kcm_kwinxwayland.desktop. **Is there a way to set the icon in the titlebar to something different?** These are my files: C++ Source Code ---------------

I have tried to set the application icon directly in my C++ HelloWorld class code, right below where I set the window title, using several different methods that didn't work, like set_icon, set_icon_from_file, etc. **Is there a way to set the titlebar icon, either directly using gtkmm (set_icon_name?), or through other means, in Kubuntu?**

I wanted to use libreoffice draw to draw network diagrams. I searched a little and found out that there is an extension called VRT ( https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/vrt-network-equipment ) Also I've heard that Libreoffice Draw should be able to use the cisco eps icons if I convert them to svg ( https://www.peteredstrom.se/how-to-import-cisco-network-symbols-in-libreoffice-draw ). I was wondering what you could suggest me to use if you used different themes/icons.

I'm launching Battle.net with https://usebottles.com/ , and it creates two windows: one for the launcher itself, and one for the game. Both windows are missing an icon and show "steam_proton" mouseover tooltip. I know I can control appearance of application menu items with StartupWMClass property, but both these windows have the same WM_CLASS of steam_proton, so I can't do that. What's different for these windows, is WM_NAME and WM_ICON_NAME properties, but GNOME seems to ignore those. Is there any way I can make GNOME use them?

How to change icon theme in i3? If this matters, I'm working on Arch Linux. I googled, but I can only find info about GTK theme, not icons.

I've recently installed Arch and chose KDE5 for my desktop environment. Being a fan of docks, I've opted to install Latte. The problem is that icons do not appear in my dock at all, thus rendering it pretty much unusable.  I remember reading somewhere in a bug report (which I can't find at the moment, and was really difficult to find in the first place) that Latte uses libtaskmanager to display the icons. However, the task manager has no issues displaying icons whatsoever. How can I fix this?

I have the following configuration: Debian Trixie; Wayland; KDE 5.107.0 / Plasma 5.27.10 I have two .desktop files to launch two instances of brave browser with two different profiles and two different icons Profile #1 (brave standard .destkop file)

When I launch Krunner I see the two different icons, but when I run the two brave instances, I get the two standard brave icons in the icons task manager. I also tried to add StartupWMClass=brave-browser in Profile #2 .desktop file and it seems to set the correct icon, but it I run a brave instance with Profile #1 it gets the same icon as the one of Profile #2 Could you help me?

So I recently installed the new Raspberry Pi OS, Bookworm 12 (the title says it all) and I want it to look nice, so I decided to install papirus. I installed the apt repository and the papirus-folders command, and checked lxappearance. As expected, I saw 'Papirus-Dark' in there. I selected it, clicked apply, and nothing happened. Reboot, and still nothing. I launched lxappearanceagain and it showed me that PiXFlat (he default) was still selected. Selected Papirus-Dark again, quit, opened lxappearance again and still PiXFlat was selected. I Have done that about 10 times and the same happened, and I've googled for about half an hour. What do I do? Any help appreciated.

Disabling previews under "Compositor" in Window Manager Tweaks shows icons while cycling windows. But these are smaller than the previews. I would like to have them larger. Something like those in Whisker Menu when set to "Large" Can this be "tweaked" somehow for xfwm?

I don't know how exactly to describe it verbally, but I just mean the white triangular arrows in this example image: \ In an icon theme that I'm trying to use they either don't exist or are the exact same color as the menus that they're on top of. I don't know how to look up what their standard filename is in GNOME/GTK/whatever icon sets because I also have no idea what they're called in a general sense.  I just want to go into that theme's folder in /usr/share/icons and either put them there or replace them with ones that are actually visible.

I just installed Parsehub on a System 76 Lemur Pro running Pop!_OS 22.04. Question applies to other apps though When I run Parsehub via the command line, the app's icon appears on the dock. How can I save it so it stays there even when the app is closed? When I right click on the icon, there is no option to save it to favorites. Thank you!

We all love the tree command, but it would be amazing to have the icons next to the files, as both the file browser of VSC or Color Ls have. Does anyone know any way to implement it?

I always am in trouble with picking icons in my fonts to build my polybar. I tried with some gnome tools like gnome-characters or gnome-font-viewer but I can't figure out how to display icons (instead of alphanumerical only) and I end up trying printf some random unicode to copy past into my text editor. Do you guys have a good tool (cli or gui, it doesn't mater) to list available icons in given fonts or methodologies to find it for example on web databases ? thanks a lot !
