Re: How to re-enable icons in menus?

2014-02-04 Thread Michael Lipp 
Hi Matthias,

Thank you very much, this works perfectly. Except, as you said, where no
icons are available. But if people decide to remove icons from their
applications, I suppose nobody can do anything about that, though I
don't understand why. Anyway, the context menu in nautilus has enough
eye catchers again now to be better usable (though the cut and paste
icons would be helpful, the menu is still a bit spacey at the top). (I
think i read somewhere that nautilus can be extended using python, maybe
I'll give it a try when I have time.)

Actually, having the solution, I could google the answer, though this
doesn't help much. It shows that the net (or google at least) will not
be helpful if people don't add version numbers, the search results are
dominated by the old answer -- but how could anyone have known that
the previously correct answer would only last until gnome-3.9...

Anyway, being a bit curious about these settings now, is there any kind
of reference where those helpful secrets are documented (besides
reading the code)?

 - Michael

 you didn't say which environment this struggle is happening in, so I'm
 just going to assume it is GNOME, and gnome-settings-daemon is
 running. In that case,

 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
 {'Gtk/MenuImages':1}

 will do what you are asking for. However, you might find that many
 menuitems just don't contain icons anymore - in that case, no setting
 will bring it back.

We add XSettings at will now, as it's really our only way to get platform
settings hooked into GTK+.

You can see all of the ones that GTK+ pays attention to here:

How to re-enable icons in menus?

2014-02-03 Thread Michael Lipp 
Hi,

I just moved to Fedora 20 and found that the icons in the menus aren't
shown any more. Please note that I don't post to this mailing list
light heartedly, I know that this is rather a user kind of question.
But I've spent an evening trying out about a dozen fixes from
posts/blogs etc. that I found when searching for this problem through
the net, but nothing seems to work (searched for recommended -- but not
existing -- options in tweak-tool, removed dconf, created a
.conf/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, installed various themes, created symbolic
links -- and removed them again -- etc.).

Being mostly a Java/Python programmer, I feel that I won't find out how
to re-enable the icons reading the sources. Some comments suggest that
it is even impossible to re-enable the icons in menus at all. This would
be very annoying because the gnome desktop is really harder to use now;
e.g. it takes a long time to read through the about 15 entries (I use
rabbitvcs) that pop up in the context menu of a folder in nautilus
(while the icons allowed me to spot the proper entry in almost no time).
And besides, this change is not mentioned in the release notes for gnome
3.10, so I assume it is not intended to be a feature.

Finally, I decided to risk some Wrong list! responses from this list
in order to get (hopefully) an authoritative answer how to re-enable the
menu icons or (though I hope not) the confirmation that it is impossible.
