No gnome menu icons [solved]

Hi fellas, I have a bit of a problem, it is not vital though, just that there are no icons next to any of the item in any drop-down menu (right mouse button menu, main gnome menu etc...)
Thanks

Didn't help. It was ok when I first installed the system, I just tried changing icons, it worked at first but after one boot it just didn't load, I tried changing everything back to previous state, it didn't come back up though. What should I do, I don't wanna reinstall the whole system, it took me days to modify it to the way I wanted it.

  • Change Gnome Menu Icon [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I have been able to change the main menu icon in Gnome in several other distributions running gnome 2.22 (Fedora, Debian, etc) and had no issues. The method I have always used is copy the custom icon to /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png. I have not been successful with this in Arch. I also tried copying to the 22x22 directory and also using the GConf method (apps > panels > objects > Use_Custom_Icon...). No luck so far. I'm totally up to date with all my stuff (gnome 2.22.2), so if anyone knows a good method, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Assuming you're using Gnome's default icon theme:
    1. Replace /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png with your icon of choice.
    2. If the theme's icon cache was previously generated (/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache), you can either re-generate it using the following command
         # gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome
    or you can just delete it (the cache is supposed to speed up GTK apps' access to the icons).
    3. Restart X or # killall gnome-panel to see the change.
    That's what I had to do too, but it feels like the wrong way. It should be possible to change it through the configuration editor. A bug perhaps?
    Edit: Replacing the icon file was not possible with the default icon theme. However, it works on other themes.

  • Gnome - Disabling gnome-menu icons

    Hi all,
    Seems that this is an old subject, as I've read throughout several posts on the net.
    I want to disable the gnome-menu icons, completely, keeping the menus like the System one, which, by default, has no icons (what's the logic of that, btw?)
    Gconf-editor has an option to enable/disable ONLY the icons under System (again, what is the logic?)
    gconf-editor >desktop>interface>menus_have_icons
    Seems that previous versions of Gnome allowed for the hiding/disabiling of all icons on the gnome-menu, which was nice behaviour - letting the user decide if they should show up or not.
    Question: Is there a way to disable the icons?
    Regards,
    -aurocha

    i don't see anything wrong with that image. that's how the apps should look from know own since its using the new menu thingy from gnome-shell.

  • GNOME menu icons missing?

    I'm writing this from Debian box and here they have icons for each menu entry for Places and System.
    How come in ArchLinux those are missing? Was it Debian that spiced up the GNOME or was it ArchLinux that does something differently from upstream GNOME configuration?

  • [SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

    Hi.
    The Rubyripper icon doesn't show up in my applications menu (Gnome). The .desktop file reads
    [jm@elroy ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/rubyripper.desktop | grep Icon
    Icon=rubyripper
    And the icon is present in my filesystem
    [jm@elroy ~]$ find /usr/share/icons/ -name rubyripper.png
    /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rubyripper.png
    What can I do?
    Last edited by hennes (2008-05-21 06:49:50)

    The icons for the gnome menu have to be located in /usr/share/pixmaps I guess, check if a rubyripper.* icon is present there. If not, copy an icon into that folder [name: rubyripper(.png | .xpm | .svg ...)]
    If present, maybe the icon cache should be updated. Try
    gtk-update-icon-cache
    or
    gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/{your icon theme}
    to force an overwrite; with root privileges. (I guess your theme is hicolor.)
    I missed some icons too, but I did never mind. One day, they occured... so if nothing helps, wait ^^

  • Xfce problems - some menu icons gone [solved]

    Hello all,
    I normally use XFCE, but briefly installed the Gnome packages just to try it out again, but ran into some troubles in XFCE after I decided to uninstall Gnome...
    It seems some menu icons and icons in the "Settings" window were lost...no big deal but it's ugly. How do I rebuild these again? I tried reinstalling XFCE but with no results.
    Thanks.

  • [solved] Gnome/GTK icons missing

    Hey,
    yet another icon missing topic, but I didn't find anything similar to my problem in this forum.
    http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3432 … gicon1.png
    http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4341 … gicon2.png
    http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7168 … gicon3.png
    As you can see, icons are missing not only in the gnome menu, but also
    in firefox (gtk app). Therefore, I think the problem is more related to GTK?!
    Yes, I tried serveral icon themes and engines, no success.
    1. Anyone out there who got the same problem?
    Because laptop and desktop have the same issue.
    2. Any further information about this issue?
    3. Any suggestions/advices?
    Thanks in advance,
    Max

  • [solved] Problem adding menu icon to pypanel

    Hello, I'm moving into a new place and I'm putting my desktop in the living room as a community media center since neither me or my roommates own a TV, and I'm the only one with a working desktop. They're used to Windows and a start menu. I'm running Openbox + pypanel and thought I'd make their transition a little easier by adding a start menu icon to pypanel. I followed the instructions here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68177 but it isn't working. Everytime I click on the arch icon I just get this in my terminal:
    Error: Invalid key sequence 'C-m'
    Failure converting key sequence 'C-m' to keycodes
    Error: Invalid key sequence 'C-m'
    Failure converting key sequence 'C-m' to keycodes
    xdo_keysequence reported an error for string 'C-m'
    here is the important part of my pypanelrc config:
    ("xdotool key C-m", "/home/neruson/.icons/archlinux/icons/archllinuxiconcrystal128.png"),
    In obkey my key is Ctrl+M and the key text is C-m, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    EDIT:
    I should also add I've tried this with the key as SUPER+Space too with the same error.
    EDIT 2:
    Nevermind, solved. I'm just stupid and can't follow directions well... ctrl+m instead of C-m... duh

    Thanks for the heads up on the scripts.
    ~/.bash_profile has me annoyed though. It's as if it is not being executed. Will have to try adding something with a visible effect to confirm.
    My ~/.bash_profile is owned by me and is executable but it simply will not add the path to the variable.
    Could it be something to do with the way my session is handled?
    I am currently launching my session through GDM via inittab. I know when a session is launched this way, for example, ~/.xinitrc is ignored. Perhaps this is the same for ~/.bash_profile?
    Regarding ~/.bashrc, it does work this way, but it only adds the path when a terminal is launched. I need the path added regardless of a terminal being opened or not.
    Cheers.

    That's not very helpful. You need to learn how to use abs. Then use it to compile your own version of openbox with icons support. If you have problems, post specifically what you've tried and what the error messages were.
    Though what puzzles me is why isn't the Arch package compiled with icons support in the first place?
    let me understand
    if i install openbox from shell
    pacman -S openbox
    i can't use icons?

  • Another N82 query - Menu Icon Animation

    Yes, I have too much time on my hands today, but seeing as people have been so helpful of late…
    I read in the N82 user guide (p97 in fact) that menu icon animation should be an option, and can be turned on and off. But I assumed that this was an error as the Menu > Options > Icon animation feature was absent on my relatively new handset. At first I thought it was because I was using a third party theme, but it the same under all the pre-installed N Series themes too.
    Reading the forums here, I noticed references to this feature in other threads so I looked on my handset again... under Menu > Options, I have:
    Open
    Change menu view
    Move
    Move to folder
    New folder
    Download applications
    Memory details >
    Help
    Exit
    No mention of icon animation in the menu or any sub menu. Is this a restriction my network operator (Orange UK) have placed on the firmware, or am I just looking in the wrong place?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Probably the only way they could make it work.
    I've noticed that with some 3rd party themes if you have icon animation enabled it doesn't show custom icons in all of the menus.
    I've been using this theme recently and it behaves like that.

  • HT204135 Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions? Thanx

    Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions?

    I had to contact Canon Tech Support and had to re load the driver softwear using the OS X 10.7 choice, since the 10.8 choice is not there yet. Also had to download the opener and after 45 minutes I had solved the problem. The steps are too many to go into all the details but that is the genral idea. It should work for others.

    You probably have disabled the Mail Toolbar. Press F10 and choose View -> Toolbars and check Mail Toolbar.
