Thanks, Xecure. I will avoid Package installer for now, but thanks for the how to see what it would do in case its something I really need.

Does the new geany version require new menu icons?
geany, v1.33 vs v1.37, does not require new icons.
The difference you noticed, it hinges on which gtk theme is active.For this screenshot, (antix 19) while geany was running I changed the selected gtk theme via lxappearance and launched a new instance. Only selected a different theme, I did not alter the Iconset selection.

@Xecure, the video scaling script may need to be placed before the session is loaded so that the session will load in the specified ratios to avoid the session start, scale, and restart. I had plans to do this via arandr -> save and saving the file as ~/.desktop-session/set-screen.

> Has anyone else installed the alpha on VirtualBox
FWIW, using an older host system here (xorg-legacy and older vb extensions), I was unable to start a graphical session across most attempts and lockup or blackscreen occurred a few seconds after sessionstartup on the few occasions it managed to get that far. So, I’m sidelined ~~ will try again later with next alpha/beta version.

Ive never installed anything in a virtual box…HDD/SDD’s are chump change and a 20 gig testing partition is a non-issue.
I’ve yet to see anything “Alpha” about this thing. It screams and the only thing I can’t get to cooperate is Timeshift, which I like far better than the included backup creatures.Liquorix could be the culprit…havent worried about it much as of yet

Ok. Then some gtk3 library version must be involved then, as no matter what gtk theme I select the triangle is still gigantic. Nothing to worry about, really. It just looks strange, but the app works well and the icon is understandable. I will get use to it.

That is great! I will add an exception to check if that set-screen file is present in the ~/.desktop-session/ folder and stop the script then and there. We could also have the screen configuration saved there instead of to ~/.screenlayout/default.sh when that function is implemented.
the problem is the
VBoxClient --vmsvga
that I have in the script, and that only runs if antiX is loaded in a VirtualBox VM. This starts the VBox client so it auto-resizes the resolution depending on the virtualbox window size, so the experience in a VM (Virtualbox only) is smoother (on first boot). The rest of BobC’s magic doesn’t require a session restart (except when user input is requested, but at that pint the session has properly loaded, and restarting doesn’t cause any problems as described for the VM part of the script).antiX Live system enthusiast.

Install papirus-antix and remove papirus-mini-antix.
I’ll make some changes to papirus-mini-antix so the correct icon size is used.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

printing
success with printing.What I did learn is that there is no frequently answered question for
How do I print an image.
no wiki on it. no forum question on it.
(since, (it is not Ctrl+P in default image handler Mirage)
seems more of a statement about antiX users’ capabilities
that this is not asked.)image print: qpdfview, Draw, browser (? _full)
image files do not have qpdfview or Draw on the Open [with] menu. (?)
In mtpaint the configure command for Print is kprinter; what can this be set to?ex_Koo
Been using 21a as almost daily driver three weeks or so. The few troubles I was having earlier have disappeared after almost daily updates from Debian & antiX. Well Done Team 🙂

i3-gaps = version 4.19.1-69-g1ab2433e
kitty = 0.19.3
mpd = 0.22.4
ncmpcpp = 0.10_dev or 0.9.2 with ueberzug for albumart.

exa = v0.9.0 for a prettier terminalDebian & antiX servers
Spacefm /best gui file I have ever used walk all over thunar.
geany added all plugins especially color code high lighter.
Synaptic mostly finding build depends. need to get this sorted with apt. Too lazy

Are you comparing the default antiX system?
This is a table comparing memory use after boot to desktop, in Live ISO on Virtual Box.

Remember, you need to compare with the FULL release, and not with the BASE release (which has less number of programs and even less amount of services running at boot).
If you are comparing systems after installing your own packages, then you need to see what is going on with your installed programs (or compare the running services), as antiX has nothing to do with it.

Thanks for the info I can only compare with the programs install sorry, as they are the same as I use all the time with 19.2.1 with maybe a few different versions. The only service program installed would be mpd the rest should not be running at all on bootup. Or their may be memory leak? As for full and base 19.2.1 is base if this is the differences in memory usage from full to base can’t for antiX21 base then.
I’m not going to reinstall I have put to much work into this and really like 21a.
You have all done an awesome job with 21a. And I’m sure not complaining.. Plus I have 16gb of memory whats a couple of hundred meg anyway. Its all good.Xecure
Waterfox has no sound, but works with firefox so I use firefox. don’t really care anyway.
I also have problems with waterfox-classic and apulse. Try waterfox-current instead. I just tested it and it worked on antiX bullseye alpha
