Not sure if you know any of this already, but you might need to transfer some icons to dom0, like twitter icons that you mentioned. I don't think these can be found in dom0 by default, so you'll likely need to transfer them yourself. It's pretty straight forward to do, especially with tools like the whiskermenu, so you only need to transfer and then pick the icons in the whiskermenu settings. However just be mindful that images and icons carries security threat, though, the risk might be remote? I can't speak with certainty, but I believe exploits through icons are not too likely in this day and age, unless you got it from some dodgy website or something. But as said, I have no means to judge how big a security threat it really is, but my belief is right now, if the source is somewhat trustworthy, then the odds of risk are probably low. Just don't transfer too much to dom0, the more you do it, the more you increase the risk of getting something bad into dom0. Even low odds for risk can build up over time if you compile them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
