Gvim xfce panel icon

Hello,
I am desperately trying to set the gvim icon file for the xfce panel(faenza icon theme to be precise), but without any luck. I have tried to edit the gvim.desktop situated in /usr/share/applications/. I obviously edited the icon key, but without any luck either. I have tried full path and with only the name. I even tried to find the old icon to try and delete it, but gvim really seems stubborn.
What have I missed ?
Thank you in advance for any response

[SOLVED] XFCE Panel Icons

Does anyone know why my panel icons are black?
Like such: http://i.imgur.com/rhaLd.png
I haven't migrated from any other DE, this started happening after I enabled Compiz on startup(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … icon.22.29).
Any ideas on how to set them to white, or use the icon set from the Xubuntu panel?
Thanks in advance.
SOLVED: Elementary Xubuntu icon theme installed, needed to specify "Elementary Xubuntu Dark" vs "Elementary Xubuntu".

You can't actually move stuff freely in XFCE panels; moving only changes the order of things. You have to use separators (which can be invisible and have the option to expand) to get stuff in particular places. I have eight invisible separators on my panel, and the 'Window Buttons' item expands to fill all free space, allowing me to place things on the 'end' of my panel.

Huge icons in xfce panel system tray

Hi,
i have huge icons in xfce panel system tray for pidgin and transmission... Any idea how to fix it?

Are you using xfce4-power-manager in xfce4? I can see that it appears that you are using the xfce4 panel, but it is not clear that you are using the rest of it. If you are, isn't it started by the .desktop file? In those files you can specify the icon used, so you might be able to simply change it to something more common to most icon sets.
Personally, I don't use icons or .desktop files, so I'm not sure that this is actually good advice. But it is the first thing that came to mind.

Xfce panel and Pidgin buddy list maximizing on tray icon click

Curious if anyone else has seen this behavior in Xfce with the system tray in the xfce panel:
1.) Start pidgin unmaximized.
2.) Click tray icon to iconify.
3.) Click tray icon to restore buddy list: original dimensions retained.
4.) Click tray icon to iconify.
5.) Click tray icon to restore buddy list: maximized.
Trying to figure it out. There is already a bug filed in the arch bugzilla here : http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3969

I have none of the above problems but i may hint about using a new user (or backup your configs and start with a clean session) to see if it still happens. Since the problem came with the switch maybe the problem is there.

Can I have window previews with Docky? Or even the native XFCE Panel?

In Windows 7, hovering over the window icon buttons will show the preview for the window, is that possible in Docky/XFCE Panel's Windows Button?

Here's some more info, in case anyone has any ideas.
I tried reinstalling the Flip4Mac Safari plug-in and Windows Media Player. Still doesn't work.
With WMP, I can cut and past the Netflix preview into the player and it will play, but I can't get it to start automatically.
With QuickTime, even if I cut and paste the URL into it, I get an error: Alert Invalid URL.
Any idea how I can get these preview to play automatically?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

Since upgrading the packages below I mouseclicks occasionally do not work. Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
<edit>
It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

XFCE panel not responding after suspend

I've installed XFCE and slim, when I wake up suspended computer XFCE panel behave weird. I can't run any application from launcher in panel, but I can switch between running apps or open panel properties. I think it might be problem with suspending.
Some stuff I've noticed:
- I set in xfce power manager and xfce session that computer is locked before suspend but after wake up isn't locked

You don't have to restart all of xfce, just the panel.
killall -v xfce4-panel
then restart it in a terminal to catch any errors
xfce4-panel
If you're lucky there'll be errors in the terminal when the panel becomes unresponsive and you can chase them down.

Set Window & Panel Icons For Terminal Programs in Openbox

Hello
Arch Linux 64
openbox
tint2
ranger fm (example)
Perhaps I have not discovered the correct search terms to google this question & I may be just missing the obvious here. My Wife likes to have openbox with a tint2-vertical setup on her laptop. Is there a non-temporary way to set panel icons (and maybe window icons) for terminal based programs such as ranger, htop, ncmpcpp etc. After seaching I was able to set a icon I made for any terminal in the .xdefaults file. This does not allow the ability to distinguish between various terminal programs from the tint2 panel at a glance.
xterm*iconPixmap:/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm.xbm
xterm*iconMask: /usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-mask.xbm
i noticed in the /usr/share/pixmaps folder there are already xpm/png icons for htop and xterm, however It appears to set the xterm icon in .xdefaults it has to be a xbm file. xbm files are not as visually elegant as xpm imo and so far I was only able to set the same icon it for all open xterms.
so
1. can i set separate panel icons that appear in tint2's panel for different terminal based programs?
2. is it possible to use xpm or even png files for such icons?
I would appreciate any help or a link to a webpage.
Thank you.

You can't solve problems when you're drunk Go ask your mom for a hug
That's what you think. I have a lot of brain storms when I've had a few (not all 12).
And my parents are passed. So I guess I need to ask my wife for a hug (however, she is at work).
I want a hug now, not after 6pm.
Anyway, I think, that you can move the panel if you uncheck the "lock panel" option. I just accidentally figured that out. Should have known the answer was something simple
I did un-check the 'lock panel' box, and couldn't move that top bar (upon using the default).
So as a I said, I removed both of the newly created panels, and redid them from scratch.

New network (and much more) monitor for XFCE panel

A few years ago I wrote a tiny app to show a text network monitor in the XFCE panel, resembling the previous one I was familiarized with (in KDE?).
The past month I started fixing a bug and ended in a full rewrite, but keeping the original simplicity (at least in the panel bar) despite that now reports far more than the network activity.
The installation instructions are the same: download a single file (no dependencies), compile it, add a Generic Monitor Applet (XFCE) to the panel and configure it to load the new executable.
I have updated the wiki page, but the full instructions and code is now hosted at github: "Hacker's Monitor for XFCE". Yes, it has a new name also.
Here follows a screenshot with the mouse over the applet to open the tooltip (yes, I was intentionally doing a dd from /dev/sda into /dev/null ):

Book tab/panel/icon location irritation

Is there any way I can get the Book tab/panel/icon (whatever it's called) to stay in my panels toolbar, which I have docked on the right side of my screen? Every time I start FM9 the book panel opens on the left side of the GUI and I have to minimize it and manually drag it over to the right side of the screen and dock it with the other icons. Am I missing something obvious?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Ron,
I do not know exactly how FrameMaker's workspace management works, and I do not move the book panel around, but this may help.
FrameMaker has the ability to save your workspacet, but it appears NOT to work when just the book file is open. When a document within the book is open, you can rearrange the workspace and save it (giving it a name) using the workspace drop-down in the upper right corner of the application window. It should remember this workspace the next time you open FrameMaker; however, it does not open the panels, etc, until you open a document; opening the book file is not sufficient.
I have noticed that when I close all the document files and have just the book file open, all the panels, except the book panel, disappear. If I open a panel, it appears at the default place that Frame wants to put it, not where I had put it in the workspace. If I were to open a document file, then Frame moves that panel to the place at which I saved it in my saved desktop. I think this is because Frame allows NO custom workspace with just a book file open. This seems a real deficiency to me.
So, my suggestion is to open a book and one of its document files. Set up your workspace as you want, and save it. When you open just the book file, Frame will likely put it on the left side as its default. Without moving the book file, open one of its documents, and my guess is that Frame will move the book file panel to where you want it, where you had it stored in your custom workspace. I have not tried this, because I leave the book panel on the left, but the other panels behave this way.
Hope this helps, but it may not,
Van

Messed Up Control Panel Icons In OS 9

I have a PowerMac G4 which has OS X and OS 9 installed, and recently performed a reformat and fresh install of OS X (Tiger). While doing so, I copied over my OS 9.2.2 installation to another external hard drive, and copied it back after I had set up OS X again. But now some of the icons in the control panel are messed up, some are just blank control panel icons as shown in the link below. How can I fix this, without having to reinstall hopefully? I've tried rebuilding the desktop with no success.

Hi, Dave -
It's been a long while since I delved into using ResEdit to 'fix' (or experiment with changing) things in programs. Fired up my OS 9 machine and could not find where precisely to do that using ResEdit. File Buddy makes many things a lot easier in OS 9.
Using ResEdit - open ResEdit, then use the Open item in its File menu, navigate to the item you want to get into and select/open it. You are presented with an array of various resources (ResEdit = Resource Editor). Double-click a resource to open it. Many of the available changes are presented in a GUI format, rather than in raw code; some resources don't have a GUI template, and will open as code only. Note that some of the available menu items will change when you open a resource; investigate those, too.
Important - work only on a copy of the item you want to change. Although changes to an item are supposed to require you to save the changes when you close out of ResEdit, somtimes a change is made anyway. Keeping the original available untouched allows for graceful recovery in case of an 'Oops' event.
If you'd like to try File Buddy, you can get OS 9 version(s) here -
http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/en/7/download.html
... and there's some additional info about it here -

MythTV and XFCE Panel

Does anybody know how I can make MythTV run above XFCE Panel? It stays on top when I watch TV full screen and if I use the panel it normally makes the whole computer freeze. I've tried the auto-hide but if I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to activate the panel, it all crashes again.

Stopping xfce panel autostarting in xfce session...

OK, I've looked OVER ALL THE INTERWEBZ for this one and I've found nothing, not even in this forum, unless I'm doing it wrong.
I prefer to use pypanel over the xfce4-panel. I have pypanel autostarting when I log into my xfce session. Problem is is that the xfce4-panel also autostarts, and I don't want it to. The xfce4-panel doesn't appear in my "Autostarted Applications" list neither.
How do I resolve this?

Hi! When the xfce panel is running, I open up the panel manager, try to remove teh panel and get "You can't remove the last panel. Quit program?" So I do. But still the panel still boots on startup.

Ah, never thought of that one. Cheers, will give it a whirl.
Also, thanks for the welcome! Are you "pimpmoth"?
