When you open the start menu, at the top is the box with the little guy in it. When you click that it brings up your account with the pic you choose. How do you get the pic you choose into the box where the little guy is on the start menu? Thanks.

From a terminal window menu - Accessories - Terminal
Code:
nautilus -w /usr/share/pixmaps/faces/

opens nautilus to pix files-- find the pic you selected and copy it to your home folder
then rename it to .face
you will need to restart zorin menu for it to take effect-- easiest to logout then log back on

Hi jonas99, great job on the route to the pixmaps - I had forgotten that route! 60 blue jewels for your helpful advice (more colourful than 'buntu beans! :D )

If you want to create your own icon you can to, using gimp then shrink to something like 90 x 90 pixels, save in your home folder as .face - remember all files that commence with a dot '.' are hidden files so be sure to press Ctrl+ H to see it or make your nautilus set to view hidden files permanently. ;)
