Hi,

after instlaling GuixSD and starting the Xfce4 desktop, only the folder
icon is shown in the panel. The other launchers are there, but the
buttons are empty (without icon but the size is right). For example,
"File Manager" (Thunar) has no icon shown.

With kind regards,
Danny

Hello, I don't really know but my guess is you need to install an icon
theme in your profile. Try 'guix package -i gnome-icon-theme'.

Alternately, try ‘guix package -i adwaita-icon-theme’ or add
gnome-icon-theme and/or adwaita-icon-theme to the ‘packages’ field of
your ‘operating-system’ configuration, along these lines:

(use-package-modules gnome xfce) ;etc.

(operating-system
;; ...
(packages (cons* gnome-icons-theme adwaita-icon-theme xfce
;; whatever else...
%base-packages)))

Could you report back?

TIA,
Ludo’.

Yes, by default no icon theme is selected for Xfce, users have to run
'xfce4-appearance-settings' and select 'gnome'.
(I thought this was ok, but it seems bother many people.)

Should be fixed in commit 363ccf9f. Thanks!
