I just noticed something after so long and I only noticed this after I was doing the “Qubes Tweak tool” today as I really like it and whatever his name is who made this “I wish I could spell his name” to add more colors and icons… I only have the "naming of colors/names of what the “Qubes tool” did. Like arch, webcolors, gentoo, color names. BUT if I right click on my desktop and go to “applications” in my context menu, they are missing their icons too…WTF???
Upon researching our forum I found this and…
This did not help me…
How do I fix this, so that I have my icons back and will be able to use the “Qubes Tweak Tool”.
I did a test with the “Qubes Tweak Tool” by making a “TEST” domain and selecting what I wantedand didn’t get any icons, just the naming convention I use for the test.
I also just by chance think I did something wrong, I reran the “Qubes Tweak Tool” and everything “regenerated” just find as it stated that when doing it…
Well my friend I have a deeper problem here then your “Qubes Tweak Tool”. But it was installing your Tool that pointed this out to me.
You see I never use my context menu, mouse “right click”, and it was after installing your tool that I started looking around as I only have the words with no icons. When I did a test with build…{Dom0] Create new qube
I chose…“Lime” even though it is missing the icon
{Dom0] Create new qube… my-new-qube
I am missing the “icon” which should be lime color cube icon, it just shows the name…It has all the other icons on the right side that are lime color AND when I launch them the borders are lime…
Also when I “mouse” right click" I get my right click menu, I go to “applications” and the pane pops out. I only have words and NO ICONS anywhere…
I really wish I could take “screen shots” but the dam windows keep closing…
gtk-update-icon-cache:Failed to open file /home/username/.local/share/icons/hicolor/.icon-theme.cache : No such file or directory
Also now my “Qube” icon (where you can see VM’s up and running, like sys-firewall,sys-net) up in the taskbar is opening & closing itself, causing my taskbar to bounce. Its very annoying
ok I now have all my icons on my mouse “right” click, everything is there. I still do not have anything from “Qubes” Tweak tool. only words, no icons, even when I
{Dom0] Create new qube
I chose…“Lime” even though it is missing the icon
{Dom0] Create new qube… my-new-qube

Ah. Now that it makes sense. Tweak Tool does not need sudo. It is designed to work entirely in user space, saving all icons in user home directory. If it is run via sudo, it will create the icons in /root directory (which of course your user account does not have access to).
And I see you did not install the main program (qubes-label-tt) in your home directory (~/bin). That is why you get No such file or directory error message.
Please do this before regenerating icons:
Go to qubes-label-tt directory of repository and run make install (without sudo).
Then go to icons directory and run make all
BTW, all of this is my fault. Usually users expect make install to be with sudo (sudo make install). And I have to prepare a nice package for all of this.
