Thanks rokytnji for the navigation. I am searching for a way to remove the icons, just wanting a little leaner look for the desktop. When I install a new program like synaptic, I opted for no icon and it worked with" add new menu item" in preference portion of menu. Very solid distro, don't want to mess it up with meddling with fluxbox menu file, where I found the menu listed with icon description. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks zephyr

I don't know of a way to do what you want to do. If there is a way then the best place to find out about it is from the

directly. You were right to ask here first but sometimes we don't have all the answers.

@BitJam Hey thanks, appreciate the help, and will play with the files a little, copy and pasting these files work nicely if I error, back it up before I proceed. Fluxbox sites are a bit obscure with info. I am new to linux, enjoy fluxbox and openbox tremendously, the best DE's above everything else. Editing the fluxbox menu may do the trick. Thanks again, appreciate the forum. zephyr

If you are willing to edit the menu files then I can probably help you with a sed command that will remove all the icons.

Here is a sed command to get rid of the icons from the root fluxbox menu. It creates a backup called menu.bak: You can apply the same command to the applications menu. It is a symlink (at least in antiX-14) but sed does the right thing.

But if you apply the command twice to the same file then the backup gets over-written with the icon-less file.

zephyr, visit the"configure" flyout submenu in the fluxbox menu
configure }}} taskbar }}} iconbar mode }}} show pictures

this setting should toggle icons displayed (or not) both in the menu and in the fbpanel (ironically, aka the"iconbar")

I just tried that and it affected the toolbar (taskbar) but not the menus.

AntiX 14 menu building script will also have a no icon option to build the applications menu without icons. I cannot recall the parameters at the moment desktop-menu -h should tell you but I think it is --no-icons. If you then take this and add it to the commands in the update menus portion of the main menu file. It will do that from now on. Antix 13 should have something similar but I definitely can not recall that at the moment. Also for antiX 14 auto menu updates you will need to add the no icon parameter to desktop-menu-apt-update script. This will make no icons for all window managers and all users though. The main menu file you will need to edit manually with BitJam's command as it is a static portion of the menu
