Unable to change icons on void linux
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hi, for the last 3 days, I have been trying to change my system icons but I am not able to despite setting it both on the system and the user levels. Recently I noticed a wired warning on the stdout when I ran nwg-look from the terminal.
(nwg-look:4388): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:08:06.791: Found an icon but could not load it. Most likely gdk-pixbuf does not provide SVG support.

the icon theme is breeze-dark, and it is on the system in /usr/share/icons, and neofetch also shows it as the system theme, but the icons are some wierd old school ones.
Also the icon preview in nwg-look shows some different icons (maybe some fallback) for breeze-dark
lxappearance shows blurry icons, possibly from some fallback theme
I have no idea what your problem is, but you should not work on the root account for sure.
and it's not just with breeze-dark, but with any icon theme. I guess there is some system level package missing, or some setting wrong.
@nwg-piotr I found the issue! It was gdk-pixbuff. I had to install it again sudo xbps-install -Sf gdk-pixbuff (forcefully). Thanks to nwg-look crashing with a message which said something like "some app icons are broken due to gdk-pixbuf and svg" or "pixbuf doesn't support svg"
I'm glad you sorted out out.
