Ubuntu :: Changing Icons In OpenBox Windows?
Aug 7, 2011
I've been trying to change some of the icons in my system. I first tried the GUI. This changed the icon in the start menu, on the panel, and on the desktop, but it doesn't change the icon in the left-hand corner of open windows or in the task bar in the panel. I then went in and did it manually by editing the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. Same thing...the icons in Openbox windows are the old ones. My guess is that Openbox is looking elsewhere for icons, but I dont really know.

Previous to XFCE4.6, I was using xfce-mcs-manager to provide me with icons and themes. Now that xfce-mcs-manager has been replaced with xfconfd, is there a program/daemon I can run at startup that I can use to gain icons in Thunar, and themes for menus and buttons and stuff inside my windows?

I am using Openbox, i would like Nautilus to handle the desktop, which it does nicely, but i would like it so it draws the desktop at startup. So far the only way i have managed to do this is by adding "nautilus &" to the "autostart.sh", however, this, of course, launches an instance of the nautilus file browser.Can anyone help me to get Nautilus to draw the desktop automatically at startup without having to first launch the file manager?

I've recently downloaded experience icons theme and installed it. But now when I choose it from appearance windows, some icons like folders or local hard drives are not changing. this problem is the same with other icon themes. when I run check_svgs it shows something like this, which looks like something is wrong:
Code:
"./gnome-spinner/apps/gnome-spinner-rest.svg" is broken:
/usr/share/icons/eXperience/check_svgs: 23: rsvg: not found
------------
"./gnome-spinner/apps/gnome-spinner.svg" is broken:

I want my Terminal to look transparent, just like this: [URL]
I tried to use xcompmgr with transset but
1) after doing "transset 0.35" and clicking on the Terminal-window, it only stays transparent for as long as I don't close it or reboot => its not permanent. Next time it's non-transparent again
2) the WHOLE window is transparent, even the title- and menubar! But I just want to have the black textarea be transparent (like in the pasted screenshot)
But it somehow seems to be possible, since the screenshot is also taken from an openbox environment.

I'm using an Acer Aspire One with ubuntu 10.10 Desktop/Netbook and Kubuntu 10.10 installed.I'm using Compiz for the window manager and Emerald for the decorator. I know my problem has something to do with compiz because after uninstalling it, the problem went away, so I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere.After installing compiz, my icons/system theme (not my window decorations) will change on their own,(Please see attached screenshots) and even when I choose, let's say, 'ambiance' in the appearance menu, the panels for gnome will change, but the icons will not. the only way i can get the ubuntu mono-dark icons to reappear is to logout/restart, etc. However, it will still switch to unity icons on a seemingly random basis. It is a little thing, but it is driving me crazy

how do you do it? I only manage to change Icons for applications that are "pinned" to the destkop.When I go to the root folder, all I get are Songbird icons for all applications.So I changed the Firefox and Dolphin icon on the panel. Now, when I open Dolhpin, the new icon appears on the panel next to the name of the open location.But when I go to the kmenu, it still has the old icon.When I open Firefox, the open windows on the panel still has the standard firefox logo.

I am running Xubuntu 11.04 on a new laptop and so far I am really loving it. However, when I connect my monitor to the laptop and when Xubuntu detects it to change the resolution, the icons rearrange themselves, reminding me of what Windows would do.
Is there a way to save and restore the icon layout so that they can remain on the same place on the desktop regardless of its resolution?

On my Kubuntu 10.04 machine changing the icons is done in the appearance section in menu-system settings-appearance then selecting icons. Can this be done in Ubuntu 10.04 and if so how?

I want to give some of my directories special folder icons. For example, I have a Projects directory and I noticed that there is a special 'projects' directory icon available in my icon theme; I think that it would be nice to use that icon instead of the default directory icon.Google informs me that the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs can be edited to give certain directories special properties, including special icons. However, all my changes to the file get reverted after restarting my computer. Is there a way to make changes to user-dirs.dirs permanent?

If I try to change the icon style, it changes the icons in my desktop and in Nautilus, but it doesn't change the icons in the panels nor the ones in the menus.
Some screencaps:

I really like the way the Windows 7 taskbar icons looks. I'm looking for a way to make the taskbar icons bigger without increasing the taskbar size itself. I'm also looking for a way to show the icons only, without any text beside.

Couple of weeks back I found a thread about moving the windows icons from the left to the right. Now I can't find it anywhere, brain fade.

I dont have the usual maximise/minimise icons when I have a window/application open which is pretty problematic if I open multiple windows as I can only view the one on top. I'm using Netbook Remix.

Whenever I try to change the sizes of the windows on my screen I get a cursor which is a double arrow. There seems to be only one X- or Y coordinate on the screen where I can pick the side of the window, it seems to be only one pixel wide. This makes it hard to get hold of the side to change the size of the window. Is there a way to enlarge this location to a few pixels so it is easier to point the mouse to the right location?

When I go to Main Menu>Places, nothing but Computer and Network works correctly. Choosing Main Menu>Places>Downloads, for instance, generates a little disk activity, but never displays a window with the contents of the Downloads directory. In an effort to fix the problem, I just upgraded from 10.4 to 1.10, but the same thing still happens. How do I get the Main Menu>Places icons to display the appropriate windows?

I've seen previous threads about this, but they're rather old and I can't seem to apply their solution to the latest (10.04) stable release of Ubuntu.
What's the "best" way of changing the default option in the bootloader? I'd rather set it to "Windows 7" for the time being as it's what I use at work.

I installed Ubuntu in my new notebook. It originally comes with Windows 7 installed on it.Everything works nice however every time i boot into Windows7 the grub menu doesn't work any more. i can't boot into windows or ubuntu any more. How do I stop this? Its rather annoying to have to boot, chroot and fix this problem everytime.

maximising, minimising or simply changing the size of a window takes ages and the whole system appears to freeze for a few seconds. system monitor registers a cpu load spike.
don't say "disable compiz", i need the cube ...
using a ati mobility radeon HD 2400.

I've just rolled out about 60 ubuntu 10.04 desktops. All of them are joined to our windows domain using likewiseopen.
At the gnome login screen, the users have to click "other" and type in their windows username and password.
Is there any way to bypass this and just have the username displayed?

nothing informative from me as of now, although I have only been out of "Windows" for a little less than a day, I suppose the only alternative conversation topic is a simple request for those more experienced users to point out some major/musts about topics to focus on as I'm new to open source ANYTHING, really
To think I was so "under the gun" about spending loads of cash to keep up with the IT group of choice, I have gained some much needed relaxation w/my cup a tea. Pinpointed request, I guess, "when you first started, and knowing what you can do with it now, would you be obliged to say 'HEY, THIS IS THIS, BUT WATCH OUT FOR THIS'

The toolbar is completely empty and when I run apps or open windows, the icons do not show up. The weird thing is when I select 'Panel Properties' and UNSELECT 'expand', then it shows up. But then my toolbar shrinks and doesnt go 100% in width.

I'm playing with the system now and I have some questions. I wasn't able to find answers to some of them on this forum or the net.
My first question doesn't necessarily lighten me as someone with deep personality: how do I tweak the color of the title bars of the active and non-active windows in Gnome 3?
