[SOLVED] Change titlebar's "Menu" button to generic icon?

Hello

You know the Menu button on the far-left side of the titlebar?  The one that has Unmaximize, Minimize, Always on Top, etc..

Is there a Window Manager setting to change that from the program icon to a generic icon, like how it's displayed in the Window Manager settings?

In the xfwm4 theme's directory (in your example above its probably /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4) there is a themerc file. In that file change "show_app_icon=true" to "show_app_icon=false".

You will need to change to another theme and back to Default again, restart xfwm4, or relogin for it to take effect.

More info on the themerc file can be found here.
