You should see some changes to the icon settings with a dist-upgrade.
Hopefully, all app icons will show up in the menus ok and in the control centre.When prompted for icewm, jwm, fluxbox and/or rox configs
“What would you like to do about it ….?”
Choose y (yes to accept new changes. Most will be in etc/skel).
Post here if there are any issues.
antiX-17.4 will be available very soon.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Maybe because I said y on a previous dist-upgrade. I can’t remember . Usually I say no .

::Nice changes, I really like the new look, thank you for all your efforts and work !
Found little typo, backlight-brightness-icon does not appear in CC
In antixcc.sh
which backlight-brightness &>/dev/null && [ -n “$(ls /sys/class/backlight 2>/dev/null)” ] \
&& backlight_entry=$(entry \
$ICONS2/background-brightness.png \
“desktop-defaults-run -t backlight-brightness &” \
$”Backlight Brightness”)should be
$ICONS2/backlight-brightness.png \
Thanks !

::My yes or no permission was not asked on this one
roky, a week or so ago I waded through manpages trying to learn how all these interact:
debconf
dpkg-reconfigure {— because a while back I had recongifured debconf and selected “ask… medium or greater”
apt-listchanges
ucfI reckon the “why” (or “why not asked” in this case) is explained by the few short paragraphs in

::Just posting this so you can “see what I’m seeing” (in case we’re not seeing identical result)

::clicking around, I just noticed:
A new user might suspect “a bug” ~~ the light-colored conky output does not show well if user selects the pre-installed “tux kids” or “refreshing” wallpaper images

man ucfRead the man ucf in this older i386 install I have right now. Haveing myself played a bit with the :
disclaimer. I am a wild child that will break things experimenting on my own without asking.apt-get dist-upgrade -y --force-yesmyself with dist-upgrade . Just Not sure if on what gear I played that tune on. Maybe just a case it was a hang over ? 😀

Try running
conky-colors --help
It changes the colors in our default .conkyrc.Context is worth 80 IQ points -- Alan Kay

::conky-color is another of those “hidden gems”. I think it is not exposed via ControlCenter nor antiX-cli-cc
It would fit DesktopMenu }} Accessories, along with “Conky Toggle”.

::Current Conky (and both desktop icons on the left) is also positioned too high.
Currently:
gap_x 10
gap_y 20Should be:
gap_x 20
gap_y 40The reason is, if you ever happen to use ‘Rox Panel’, you’ll get ‘accident’.
Already speaking about ‘Rox Panel’, it’s wrong preconfigured.
‘Apps’ opens /usr/share instead of /usr/share/applications.See screenshots.

::You can use your own pictures too, you know. 😉
Can I really? I didn’t know that. 😉
A couple of months ago, people here told me that for the icon set too. 😉
But seriously, a good set of wallpapers just belongs to ‘visual consistency’/appearance of a Distribution too.
It’s not hard to exchange them yourself, but neither it’s hard to pick up a dozen of fine, free wallpapers and include them in the distro out-of-the-box. Good fonts, good contrast, consistent icons all over the system and a dozen of high quality wallpapers leaves much better impression and it shows that one got a finished product that was ‘made with love’, with patience and with care.
