Can someone tell me where the icons for this screen might be located?

TIA.

What icon theme is that? (Or is that what you're asking?)

The theme is Sardi-Flat. I know where the standard icons are all located. What I'm trying to figure out is the names of the missing icons, so I can create some new ones for those that are absent from the icon theme (for use in MX). Sardi is a arch based distro and I think Edward DuBois has some beautiful themes. :p

the icons are defined in each application's .desktop file.

in mx-tweak's case, the icon defaults to usr/share/pixmaps/mx-tweak.png if there isn't an mx-tweak icon defined in a given theme (which I don't think any theme actually has but I could be wrong).

mx-system-sounds defaults to a theme's audio-speakers designation. So if the theme doesn't have that, there is no fallback icon (that's a really common icon though).

for the other applications, you can check their .desktop files to see if they have an entry for Icon=. you can have both hard paths and theme designations. icon files themselves can be stored in a theme, in /usr/share/pixmaps, /usr/share/icons, and in the hicolor theme folder than many themes default back to.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thank you very much! I thought as much. I'll futz around a bit to see what havoc I can wreck... :crossfingers:

I'm looking forward to it. The reason I asked what theme that was is because I really like those icons so I'll be among the first to get them after you've finished your havoc-wrecking. :D

You'll see them soon appearing in the Openbox MX setup I am announcing tomorrow (I hope.).

Easiest way to find all icons: right click on Whisker Menu, go to "Properties" and when menu comes up click on the icon, it will give you all in your system.

That will only show you available Whisker Menu "start button" icons, not all application etc. icons.
