Thunar uses different libreoffice icons

Hi everybody,

I am using the "Matrilineare" icon theme and I noticed that the icon used on my desktop differs from the one used in thunar, just for .odt files.

Here's my desktop icon:

And here's another odt file in Thunar:

Note that this does not happen i.e. for folder icons, which are correctly visualized everywhere.

This is not a serious problem, but I like much more the one on the desktop, which I think should be the right one.

What's causing this, and how do I solve it?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Thunar uses different libreoffice icons

What version of Xfce are you using? Also what versions of xfdesktop and thunar?

On a fresh login, can you post back the results of:

ps -ef | grep $USER | awk '{print $8}'

...so we can see which processes are running, specifically if another desktop manager is managing the desktop.

Does running:

pkill xfdesktop

...fix the icon discrepancy error?

Re: Thunar uses different libreoffice icons

Hi ToZ,
Xfce version is 4.12, Thunar is 1.6.11 and xfdesktop is 4.12.3.

Here's the output of the first command:

$ ps -ef | grep $USER | awk '{print $8}'

and... no, killing xfdesktop did not produce any fixing

Re: Thunar uses different libreoffice icons

Everything looks fine there. I think it best that you create a bug report for this issue.
