I’m not sure if my manjaro is XFCE. I installed it as such but I am now using AwesomeWM, but I’ll post this to this subsection.
I am trying to change my theme and folder icons and system tray icons (if that’s what they’re called, anyway here’s the images of what I mean: imgur(DOT)com/a/DjVAkeb ), because they’re ugly as hell and I’ve customised my system to my liking in other areas.
I’ve installed different themes and icon packs. I am certain they’re correctly installed. I’ve installed them with pacman and some manually and extracted them to the right folders and I can see them in my GUI (more of that later) but I don’t know how to apply them via terminal and haven’t found anything from the internet. So I’ve tried to install them from the GUI (settings → appearance → icons/themes and then I click on the icon/theme I want. The problem is, nothing changes. That is, they dont apply. I can switch between themes all I want and there’s no delay whereas there previously (when not using awesomeWM) was a slight delay when the theme/icon was applied.
What’s wrong?
Here’s my system info:
