When setting up the theme and appearance of your system it is important to note that the XFCE4 Settings for Themes and Icons only affect applications that use GTK2 or GTK3 UI toolkits for their graphical user interfaces. Some popular applications use QT for their GUI’s and QT5 requires it’s settings to be done by a separate ‘QT5 Configuration Tool’ utility. You can open QT5 Settings either from the ‘Settings’ Menu or the ‘Quick Settings’ Dialog of the AVL-MXE Assistant. In some cases it may take a few seconds for it to check your current QT5 configuration and launch. You can set your theme style, fonts, icons and other settings to make QT5 applications match your GTK system themes as closely as possible.
MX-Snapshot in AVL-MXE With the ‘MX-Snapshot’ program found in the ‘MX-Tools’ of AVL-MXE you can create an ISO image of your system that you can boot with a USB key and run as a LiveISO or install to another computer. This powerful part of MX Linux is what makes AVL-MXE possible and in turn you can add or remove programs and make changes to your installed system and make a bootable ISO of your customized version of AVLMXE. There are a few important items to be aware of before using MX-Snapshot in AVL-MXE: • If you are going to make a customized version of AVL-MXE to share with other people to download and use you must first remove the licensed Demo-versions of software using the AVL-MXE Assistant. These demos are specially licensed to be distributed in AVL-MXE only and you will be violating these licenses if you re-distribute them. • If you are going to create and publicly share your own version of AVL-MXE with other people you must give it a different name and indicate that it is a different project derived from AVL-MXE to prevent confusion for potential Users. At this point you will be prompted for your Root Password and once entered it will open MX-Snapshot which will give you an option to choose where the ISO and related md5 and SHA512 files will be placed. The default is /home/snapshot/. You can also choose what you want the name for your custom ISO to be.
From here the MX-Snapshot options are as normal, you can select to create an ISO for your own use with your Data and Network configuration preserved or you can choose to make a more generic ISO without your Settings and Data that you can safely share with other people. By selecting the checkboxes for various items you can blend the choices for what you want to preserve from you setup and pass along what you want to exclude from your ISO. Advanced users can also exclude further items in the Filesystem but you should be cautious and familiar with what you are selecting for exclusion. You can also select the type of compression to use which will determine the size of your final ISO, ‘xz’ gives the most compression and therefore the smallest potential ISO size at the cost of slower performance on the Live booted system. Once you have made your choices click ‘Next’ to continue, confirm and create your ISO.
