Installing the .deb files you get from the buildall script doesn't change the theme on Linux Mint 21.3 #330

I'm using mint-meta-xfce on Linux Mint 21.3 (I normally use cinnamon) and after installing all of the .deb files that are outputted by the build process, I don't know how to get the project actually working. I don't see any new programs (besides Windows Explorer) and can't find anything for it in settings. Are there other steps I'm missing?

The packages do not change the theme automatically - they are just installed, so you should see them under XFCE Settings > Appearance, XFCE Settings > Window Manager etc.

For the shell you basically need to replace the XFCE one by doing:

xfce4-panel --quit
xfdesktop --quit
regsvc
wintc-taskband
wintc-desktop

Add the latter 3 to your XFCE Settings > Session and Startup so the shell loads at logon... should hopefully work. 😎

I will try this, thank you!

If you have any problems, let me know! I know it isn't the most user-friendly install atm 😅
