Some Icons are missing, when using Papirus.

Icons are not missing when using Adwaita.

Obviously the icons are new icons of the Adwaita icons theme. My question is, what is happening here. Is there no fallback mechanism? Do alternative icon themes always have to have an icon with the same name?

  • Is it even a Papirus issue?
  • Is it a Flatpak issue?
  • Is it an Adwaita issue?

Thanks

My question is, what is happening here. Is there no fallback mechanism?

Maybe libadwaita devs have changed some icon names? I've noticed missing icons where they were previously there. We'll look into that.

@morganist is there something more I can provide?

The Yaru Theme (Ubuntu 22.04) has those icons too.

My understanding is that Gnome deliberately stopped supporting icon theming.

@Asherathe can you provide any evidence of that being the case?

The fact that Ubuntu's Yaru icon theme is working contradicts that assumption, does it not?
