Completely broken xfce icons on -current
by Lockywolf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GJR1)
Hello, everyone.
I use Advaita-dark+HighContrast icon theme (black-and-white), and xfce.
Things used to work just fine until 4.16, when the xfce team decided to make a political decision and force theme creators to create icons specifically for xfce (see this issue: https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-s...er/-/issues/38).
This lead to the fact that half of the application icons were from HighContrast (as expected), and half were from default xfce. This looked ugly, but worked.
However, after some of the recent -current updates, the "replacement colourful default xfce icons" are missing for some buttons.
The most noticeable are the ones at the "power-off/hibernate" window.
Those are just replaced with the default "white field with an X on it", that is, a "notfound" icon. The same effect is in Thunar, with the "up/back" buttons. (See the attached screenshot.)
Has anyone seen anything like that? Is it possible to deal with it without littering the file system with unaccounted symlinks (as the issue thread offers)? Any ways to mitigate this issue?
