MX Tools icons
MX Tools icons
Both the live USB kernel updater and live USB maker are lacking icons. Is this intentional?

Re: MX Tools icons
this is probably theme dependent to an extent.
the icon in use is
drive-removable-media-usb
and in our default icon set, as well as many others, its provided. but it looks like it doesn't exist in all sets (adwaita is one example).

Re: MX Tools icons
That's a bit of a kicker.
Would it be possible to have a complete icon set which is fixed and doesn't change for the tools?

Re: MX Tools icons
If you would like an icon to show for the for any theme that is lacking a drive-removable-media-usb icon definition, you can place a symlink to whatever icon you want in /usr/share/pixmaps
for instance
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/48x48/devices/drive-removable-media.png /usr/share/pixmaps/drive-removable-media-usb.png

Re: MX Tools icons
Can we always count on adwaita to be on the computer? I could set adwaita icon to be the fallback icon (or I could package an icon and make that the fallback, but I prefer if I just link to it rather than adding it to the package).
Re: MX Tools icons
I am against this.
I like the fact that the more comprehensive icon sets have designed their own icons for (or have assigned existing icons in their theme to) various mx tools/applications. It will also match the look of the rest of your desktop when you apply a particular icon theme.
Example: the monotone icon set

I'm fine with setting a fallback icon theme, for cases where the icon theme in play at the moment does not have an icon assigned to a particular MX app.
I thought in any case that the MX tools had fallback icons in /usr/share/pixmaps already.

Re: MX Tools icons
I agree that the fallback option is best. My initial suggestion was simply an idea.
