Linux Lite 7.8 RC1 Released

Here's another one for you Jerry and Co.  I think this one has been around for a while, I've noticed it before but never reported it.

If you change the icon theme from the "Papirus" theme to any other alternate theme the icons for the custom LinuxLite apps don't display any longer via the "Control Panel" shortcut on the desktop aka "Settings Manager" in XFCe.

Is there away to make your custom LinuxLite icons the defaults for those apps so if users switch themes they would still work?

ToZ over at the Xfce board gave me some good info on the icon issue:

Fired up an instance of Linux Lite on distrosea. If you don't want the icon to change between shifts in the icon theme, change the "Icon=" line to include the full path to the icon file. For example:

Code:

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/litedesktop.png

I changed the paths to the icons via the Start Menu shortcuts to point to he /usr/share/pixmaps version of the icon and that seems to have resolved it.  Some of the icons have SVG versions that look better than the PNG images.  Like the screwdriver icon for "Lite Tweaks" so used that one instead of the version with the black background for the tweaks icon.

I tested by switching to different icon themes and the Lite icons worked in all of them afterwards.  The screenshot below was while using the Gnome icon set.
