Missing icons in Xfce - How recompile all componets

Petr said:
Hi all,

I made a mistake. I have not read the UPDATING file and after updating Xfce does not display icons. Same as here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78162. I use the tango theme.

I think that recompiling Xfce would repair the error. A similar problem is described here

How to do it correctly?

Thanks,

In Settings Manager (Appearance), you can choose the icon theme you want.

In Xfce 4.10 icons are not "hard coded", so we must choose which we want. A workaround is to create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file (for example):

Code: 
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"

Drawback, you can change the icons theme with Xfce settings.
 
Thank you,

All works OK, I do not know why. Because I had set the Tango theme in Settings Manager (Appearance). Where did you obtain this information?
