(Solved) restore MX desktop default settings

#1 Post by zorzi »

Hello,

For an unknown reason, the second user on my machine has an "ugly" basic xfce appearance.

Is there a way to revert desktop settings to MX default ones ?

Thanks.

Use MX Teaks to select the theme you want.

Default settings are located in /etc/skel/ (all hidden, so Ctrl-H to view), and you can copy the files you want over from outside that user's account.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

Hello again,

Whatever I do, I can not get the default notification tray elements, especially volume icon inside notification tray.

I have to add PulseAudio plugin icon next to notification tray, which is not exactly the same thing. How can I fix that ?

Thanks.

If you will try opening the Start Menu > Settings > Settings & Startup > Application Autostart:
click to put a checkmark on the items you want auto-started,
reboot,
then remove the duplicated items outside the Notification tray (that you added directly).
Thinkpad T430 & Dell Latitude E7450, both with MX-21.3.1
kernal 5.10.0-26-amd64 x86_64; Xfce-4.18.0; 8 GB RAM
Intel Core i5-3380M, Graphics, Audio, Video; & SSDs.

Perfect. I hadn't thought about it.

Thanks.
