Hello,
I just installed v14.0 on Mint 16, but irritatingly if I rename icons
under
Trinity I find it has screwed around with my icons if I then log into
xfce.
Is this because the two desktop environments share a config file
somewhere?
I've found this recent habit of DE's to 'bleed' across to one another
quite annoying. Can I separate the two completely by creating two files
dealing with icon properties, then direct each DE to use its own
particular
one?
Can you describe the problem in further detail? For instance, what
exactly do you mean by "rename icons under Trinity"?
Many users are not aware of this, but there is a cross-desktop standard
that applies to almost all desktops called the XDG specification. In a
nutshell it specifies how various desktops should handle common elements
such as desktop shortcuts, icons, etc. This standardisation is what
prevents a user from having to create, for example, completely separate
desktop shortcuts for each desktop environment they use. A side effect of
this standardisation is that the various desktops are somewhat bound
together such that changing icons, desktop shortcuts, etc. in one desktop
may change the others as well.
If you can provide more information on what you are seeing and what you
want to see we may be able to help.
Tim
