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] 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.

Some Emoji icons aren't anymore supported by shared iCloud calenders

Dear Apple Community,
since the "iCloud: Calendar and Reminders - 03/14/2012 17:00 PDT - 03/16/2012 15:30 PDT" (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/) server problem some Emoji icons aren't anymore supported by a shared iCloud calender.
F.ex.: If my girlfriend creates an event at her calender, which is open for me (via her iCloud account - I use my own iCloud/iTunes Account) with an Emoji icons in the title, I see a strange "?" in a triangle instead of the Emoji Icons. This happens f.ex. with the "Fork & Knife"-Emoji Icon. The "Heart"-Emoji Icon is shown correctly.
Any suggestions to fix this or is this an iCloud server bug?
In advance I thank you for your help!
P.S.: I already feedbacked it to iCloud Feeback. (http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html)

"�" this is the symbol which replaces some Emoji icons since the iCloud Calender Server Problem. (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/)

[solved] Thunar - icons in right-click-menu are gone

Hi there.
Since some time my icons in the thunar right-click-menu are gone. I guess they disappeared with thunar 1.4 but I'm not sure.
Is there a way to make them come back? I have a hand full of custom actions and the icons help me to distinguish them faster.
When I open the custom actions manager the icons are still there and are correctly from my current icon theme.
Thanks for help in advance.

Forgot:
No DE, WM: Openbox, but both gtk2 and gtk3 are there and up to date.
I realized that other icons are missing too. Thunderbird and Firefox don't have icons in their drop down menus as well.
Has something changed in gtk?
Uhrg. Just found it. In lxappearance you can tick 'Show icons in menus'. Don't know why this was unticked.
So thread is solved.

Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone

All the Apple Menu Items are gone. 3rd party icons are still there. I did already what was suggested in another topic by BDAqua:
+In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist+
+In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.+
+This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).+
No result!
Here is how it happened: I had a problem with external drives (firewire) and a USB cardreader. After I tried several things that were mentioned in this forum (and elsewhere) I reinstalled OS 10.4.11 with the combo updater (it was suggested somewhere that this could solve the firewire problem). When I restarted after the new install of OS 10.4.11, all the Apple Menu Icons had disappeared.
The good thing: The firewire problem is solved (I think), but I want my Menu Icons back! HELP, please!
Thank you
Chris

Yeah, that's the first thing to try.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

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?

Where has the iCloud icon gone in the menu bar

When iCloud where in the trial stage they had a little cloud icon top right side in the menu bar to drag and drop files to. I recentlywanted to upload docs to iCloud and noticed it had gone. I never log into iCloud from the Internet, after reading the threads, it seems this is the only way to save files to the cloud now, am I wrong?

Are you sure you aren't confusing iCloud with iWork.com? In any event, there's no menu icon. To upload iWork documents, go to http://icloud.com and go to the iWork page, pick the appropriate of the three programs, and drag the file in the Finder to the web page.

Start menu icon & taskbar is gone

My start menu icon & taskbar is gone. I cannot find any way to restore them. Customize shows nothing for putting them back. How do I do this?

Xperia T menu icons touch problem after Jelly Bean upgrade

I have Xperia T upgraded to jelly bean 4.1.2 Build Number 9.1.A.0.489 kernel version 3.4.0-g5b052b2-00759-gd9ee069 - Mon Jan 14 15:29:55 2013
After tap my menu icons in jelly bean there is no action. ex. Settings, Messages icon tap.
After switch on developer options -> show layout bounds - it's shown that icons (blue square) are covering the touch area (pink square) and not pushing touch events to action areas, only bouncing but without action. When touching both blue and pink area with finger icons works fine, with touching only blue areas no action. Every other touch are ok.
Is it common issue ?
Thanks.

I think this only happens when you enable that under development options. Have you tried to turn that off and check if this still remains?

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!
Swill

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.

Menu Icons Disappeared - FrontRow Hack the problem?

How do I get my menu icons back? I installed the frontrow hack and they disappeared.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, the hack is not compatible with certain operating system updates.
One of our illustrious posters Dr. Smoke has put up this FAQ on how to remove it:

A nice alternative program is MediaCentral:

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.

Dreamweaver CS3 menu icons not displaying

I just recently reinstalled my OS X and CS3 Suite with the original CDs because there were some issues with Illustrator unexpectedly closing before it had even opened the desired file. The reinstalls went without problem on all applications in the suite except Dreamweaver; the application menu icons are now replaced "broken image link" icons, and my ftp connect button has disappeared as well.
Here is a screen shot of what I'm looking at in the Dreamweaver interface:
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e120/wbelyea/Screenshot2011-04-28at123001PM.png
I have tried repairing/reinstalling the application by itself and the entire suite, but I am still getting the same result, and only in Dreamweaver.
I have also tried clearing the .plist file and cache, but that hasn't helped either.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? I've had a difficult time finding anything similar on the forums.
Thanks in advance for your help!

[could this be the cause of the issue?]
Yes that could definitely be the root of the issue. Put your OSX disc or disc that came with your Mac and boot up to that. Run the disk repair utility from the menu at the top of the screen (you don't need to re-install OSX). See if it can be fixed.
And just a friendly reminder, make a backup of really important data before doing too much more.

Finder Menu Icons Missing

My finder menu Icons are missing this all began after I was in a login screen and ran a micro fiber cloth across the keyboard. Since then I have lost all my menu icons and boot up takes five minutes this is a Brand new 27" IMac (February 2014) running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2
I have repaired Pemissions and deleted the finder.plist
Anyone have any idea whats going on? Any Ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
