      Up till recently, all of my machines have been Gentoo linux with ICEWM. I have a used Lenovo laptop that I’ve switched over to Antix. Let’s just say that compiling gcc-12 from source on a machine with 4 gigs of ram and a core-2 processor is beyond painfull.

      To avoid having to learn a new WM, I want to stick with ICEWM. There are some directories/files in .icewm/ that I want to copy from my desktop, and tweak, and NOT be over-written by updates/upgrades…

        icons/
        taskbar/
        themes/mytheme/
        focus_mode
        preferences
        prefoverride
        theme
        toolbar

      Does dist-upgrade touch any of them?

        Nothing get overwritten in the user’s home folder, specially without confirming with the user first!

        Your theme should be safe (it won’t get deleted)

          Thanks. That’s the answer I wanted to hear.
