I forced the installation of the AMD Driver this morning, but this disables Direct Rendering.

Oops. It is in ~/.icewm/keys. My bad for not showing. __{{emoticon}}__
didn't crash. but didn't do anything either. 8 assume it's supposed to be a root file manager

does desktop-defaults-run -r -fm from terminal still have the same issue as pressing CTRL + SHIFT + F?

here's the output from the terminal:

Default icon set


Faenza-Cupertino-mini contains icons with an opaque symbol on a partially transparent dark shaded area.
Example icons showing shaded area
Example icons showing shaded area
Note: the shaded area is shown but the partial transparency is not apparent after uploading to the forum.

It works OK with a very dark theme, but on a light theme produces an inconsistent and unpolished appearance.

The following shows example results for SpaceFM and ROX-Filer. In both cases the GTK theme is MedditeraneanWhite and the WM theme is IceClearlooks.
Example outcomes: SpaceFm and ROX-Filer
Example outcomes: SpaceFm and ROX-Filer


Suggestions
  1. For all icons, the shaded area is removed and the symbol displayed on a fully transparent background
  2. Alternatively, the icon set is replaced in full with one having symbols on fully transparent backgrounds
Either of the above will produce consistent results on both the darkest and lightest themes i.e. on all themes.

IceWM Applet Monitors


Live: Root Persistence
Boot Param: quiet splash=off vga=788
Desktop: Space-IceWM
GTK Theme: MediterraneanWhite
IceWM Theme: IceClearlooks
IceWM Applets Enabled: CPU monitor, Network monitor

At boot up the monitors in the taskbar"freeze". To release them; antiX-Menu-->Logout-->Restart IceWM. Thereafter they work as expected until the next boot up.

I just tested this and cannot reproduce your results. It works ok here.

The symptoms present in about 8 or 9 in 10 boot up attempts here. If the monitors are disabled during the session and persistance saved in this condition, then the system rebooted and the monitors enabled via IceWMCC, the symptoms do not present. Persistance save in this condition, then reboot returns to the 8 or 9 in 10 occurrences of the freeze.

Interestingly, this laptop has run 13.2-Stable since the day of release. It is installed to hard disk and has always run with the monitors enabled. The reported symptoms have never been seen.

There is something different about 15-beta in live persistance mode and the monitors enabled (race condition/timing issue?)

can you post the inxi -F of that machine. I've been noticing some other timing issues. I see desktop-session has some different timing values pertaining to the wm loading.

samK, in control centre>session>global desktop session configuration , try changing the startup_delay value to 5 instead of the default 2 and see if it helps your situation.

Date in IceWM Taskbar


Observations following the recent and usual 1 hour offset change of DST/BST in the British springtime.


Test 1
Live
Persistance: Off
Boot Param: lang=en_GB quiet splash=off vga=788
Desktop: Default
GTK Theme: Default
IceWM Theme: Default
Network Connection: Wired

Result
Date shown in IceWM Taskbar: Correct



Test 2
Live
Persistance: Root (created 3+ weeks ago)
Boot Param: persist=root!,home lang=en_GB quiet splash=off vga=788
Desktop: Default
GTK Theme: MediterraneanWhite
IceWM Theme: Clearlooks
Network Connection: Wired

Result
Date shown in IceWM Taskbar: Consistently incorrect by precisely 1 hour



Test 3
Live
Persistance: Home (created 3+ weeks ago)
Boot Param: persist=home! lang=en_GB quiet splash=off vga=788
Desktop: Default
GTK Theme: MediterraneanWhite
IceWM Theme: Clearlooks
Network Connection: Wired

Result
Date shown in IceWM Taskbar: On 1st boot up after Test 2 incorrect by precisely 1 hour, 2nd and subsequent boots correct



Restarting IceWM via antiX Menu-->Logout-->Restart IceWM fails to display the correct time.
A most unusual remedy antiX Menu-->Desktop-->Session Setting Global, when the prompt for the administrative password is displayed, press the Cancel button without entering the password. The desktop is refreshed and the correct time is displayed in the IceWM taskbar.

Something is awry with the session tools/scripts that is preventing the correct time automatically being shown, which is corrected when it/they are run manually as an element of Session Setting Global
