[SOLVED] No icons in lxpanel menu
I have Openbox and lxpanel (no LXDE).
librsvg and libxpm are installed. All necessary icons are present in /usr/share/pixmaps. I don't see any errors in terminal when running lxpanel --log 5.
Does anyone have lxpanel with icons in menu when running without LXDE? Share your solutions pls.

Re: [SOLVED] No icons in lxpanel menu
And your config files are looking like? Can't help with what we canne see 
ALL icons are missing or just tray/applet? taskbar? Recent happening or previously working and broke on update???
So many questions...

Re: [SOLVED] No icons in lxpanel menu
I did not touch lxpanel config, so - default. What other config fileS do you mean?
Icons are missing only in the menu (completely - not a single menu item has an icon). App launcher, taskbar, tray and applets are displaying icons normally.
Fresh Arch installation - installed lxde-icon-theme and lxpanel, no icons in the menu.

Re: [SOLVED] No icons in lxpanel menu
could be your gtk theme is causing this, or some gtk setting.
do you have lxappearance installed? on the "other" tab, click "show icons in menus".
or try adding "gtk-menu-images=1" to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Thanks, that did the trick. It seems that lxappearance does nothing more than setting gtk-menu-images=1 
Strange that it's not on by default.

Re: [SOLVED] No icons in lxpanel menu
glad it helped!

why "nothing more"?
or maybe you just learned your first important linux lesson: most things done by a gui can also be achieved by command line or editing text files.
