How can I fix these darned icons in Zorin Lite Xfce??? (imgur.com)

These darn icons are pissing me off and there’s not a whole lot i can find in the settings. So on the right sys tray, the bluetooth and network icons are perfect; that’s how I want ever icon to be; perfectly sized, it’s clear and detailed, it looks proper; same with the date and clock. The notification, wifi, and battery...

0x4E4F,

The icons you hate are icon set specific. I haven’t tried tinkering with them (I don’t actually use them, most of those plugins that come by default on most distros are removed on my installs), but I think you can change icon sets… or maybe themes (some themes also hold icon sets).

So, basically, you should install new icon sets and/or themes to get new icons and just pick one that you like, unistall the rest. Your default repo should hold most popular themes and icon sets for xfce.

PS: Some things may be inacurate, but I’m not much of a graphical person, I usually use xfce with default settings and maybe Greybird Dark as a theme. I leave everything else to default, whatever the defaults may be.

i told it not to return anything!

programming humor 😂

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....

0x4E4F,

Yeah, the 90’s were the turning point for MS. If they flopped, we would have a whole different story right now. Unfortunately, they didn’t… which is why we have to have everything MS compliant right now on OSes that share nothing in common with Windows.

Samba and Wine are perfect examples.

So glad someone with hlaf a brain actually does some rational thinking based on facts.

For the record, the war is not about that, but facts are facts 🤷. A large pirtion of Ukraine is Nazi oriented.

Cold war related stuff is what the media clings on to: Russia bad, Ukraine good.

The real reason was that the US was planning to plant it’s ass in Russia’s backyard. Ukraine wanted to be a part of NATO, which is of course a choice that any country has a right to make, but not when your neighbour is an ex hevy weight boxing champ and tells you to shut the hell up… yeah, you shut the hell up.

0x4E4F,

It’s all politics… sympatheic about losses on both sides, but this could have all been avoided if they (UA) stepped down on the NATO deal.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, to be honest, a lot of things were not reported or reported wrongly by the media… there’s at least 2 sides to 1 story, but seing as how Putin was close to Trump, plus the fact that Russia was always portraied as the villan in the cold war, it’s understandable why things were not reported correctly and not every fact was layed out.

For the record, I’m not pro one side or the other. Just saying that things are not always as they seem.

0x4E4F,

The coup as well… and other things… the US messes in politics with foreign countries way way too much. Russia does it as well, but not to that extent. I think Putin just got pissed about it and saw an oportunity to regain some of the land Russia lost when the USSR fell apart. The NATO thing was just the icing on the cake.

The Cuban missile crisis was about the same thing, Russia planting it’s ass next to NATO. Russia did back down with the plan though. The US wasn’t ready to do that with Ukraine. They wanted a country right next to Russia.

0x4E4F,

It’s pointless… at least in my mind… oposing that is, the military industrial complex, doesn’t matter which country it belongs to.

We have a saying around here: сила бога не моли. Litelarly translated it means power doesn’t ask anything from god. Basically, this applies to everything in life. If you’re powerful enough, you don’t ask anyone for anything, even aproval… it’s just how things are 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Hey, maybe 8 plastic chairs saved his life 🤷.

0x4E4F,

🤦

Told you. You want examples? PM me.

0x4E4F,

It’s not typical just for the right around here, the left does it as well. Who does it more… I would speculate they both do equally.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Yes I can. One of the prime ministers we had was convicted but abolished by the president. He was in a left oriented party, the president was in the same one. He didn’t retire from politics, he went on to become our prime minister.

0x4E4F,

I’d have to disclose the country I live in for the examples.

0x4E4F,

Because I already said I don’t want to disclose publicly where I live 😒 🤦.

0x4E4F,

Write me a pm if you want specific examples.
