I'm confused (again) about desktop themes now. I made the XFCE desktop.
The icon for the Run command is "broken", just a red "x". It wants gtk-
execute. I had installed the Tango icons. Nothing has installed gtk-
execute[.png]. I found traces that an older system had it from
Clearlooks. I hadn't installed gtk-engines, so I tried installing that.
I thought they would come with or generate the theme icons. I still
don't have it.
1) I suppose maybe there's a better/different icon set that I should
have instead/besides Tango? Any better recommendations? I haven't
noticed anything specific in the book.
2) Are the gtk-engines some part of the solution to this problem? What
are these engines for? Is one supposed to use them somehow to get
all the icons?
(I know I could go get that icon a put it in pixmaps or somewhere, but
I think it should have come from something I should have done
installing BLFS.)
I generally install all the icons in BLFS. Doing a search, I have in
/usr/share:
./icons/gnome/32x32/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/gnome/256x256/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/gnome/22x22/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/gnome/16x16/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/gnome/48x48/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/gnome/24x24/actions/gtk-execute.png
./icons/breeze-dark/actions/16/gtk-execute.svg
./icons/breeze-dark/actions/22/gtk-execute.svg
./icons/breeze-dark/actions/24/gtk-execute.svg
./icons/breeze/actions/16/gtk-execute.svg
./icons/breeze/actions/22/gtk-execute.svg
./icons/breeze/actions/24/gtk-execute.svg
I'm really not sure how the proper icon is chosen in the XFCE main menu.
I do know that it is themes related, but the inter-relation between themes
and icons and environments is somewhat of a mystery to me too.
