Good morning!
Trying to change the icon theme. I click on Change Appearance icon (also tried it from terminal running lxappearance), then Icon Set. When I select an icon theme in the list (it does show the themes I installed) but it doesn't change the theme and just restarts the window manager.
What am I missing? Suggestions?
I can change the theme by manually editing the desktop.conf file and saving it. But was hoping there was a more streamlined method.

Which icon themes have you installed? Post screenie of Icon Switcher window?
The code is at /usr/bin/lx_icon_switcher
Maybe run:
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/*
p.s. JWMDeskmanager does not apply in LXDE.....
Builder of LxPups, SPups, UPup32s, VoidPups; LXDE, LXQt, Xfce addons; Chromium, Firefox etc. sfs; & Kernels
That works for jwm but this is LXDE desktop in this category, so it is a different one.

That lx_icon is the new one and for some reason all it does is restart x.
I went to this site https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd6 ... e/download and downloaded the deb file, used pextract and opened and saved it as a dirrectory, changed the name of the bin application to lxappearance_old and changed the name of the desktop file *_old, then ran dir2pet from terminal and installed the old (lxde standard) lxappearance (now as lxappearance_old) and ran petget to install it like normal pet files.
Now I have the standard to LXDE appearance changer and icon theme exchanger. I put a link on the desktop.
Now when I run it i can change the icons fine.
A work around but that should do it for me.
