Some application icons are broken
EasyEffects Version
7.1.0
What package are you using?
Flatpak (Flathub)
Distribution
Linux Mint
Describe the bug
Some application icons seem to be missing / broken. Based on other screenshots on the net it should not look like this.
Expected Behavior
High resolution icons should be visible.
Debug Log
No response
Additional Information

Yes. In the code we have to request from the icon theme icons by name. Usually when it happens what it is in your image the reason is not having in the currently loaded icon theme icons named like the ones requested. The easiest solution in your case will be to install the Adwaita icon theme.
Some of the icons that are usually only available on Adwaita we have embedded in our source code. But embedding all of them does not seem to be the best approach. So the proper solution is installing an icon theme that has the requested icons. @vchernin does anything special has to be done on Flatpak or just installing the icon theme will be enough?
The flatpak icons should work out of the box with the adwaita theme, the only way a custom theme can be used with gtk4 and flatpak is by overriding the easyeffects flatpak permissions. Installing an icon theme for gtk4 last I checked won't do anything for flatpaks without manual overrides.
The easiest solution in your case will be to install the Adwaita icon theme.
Seems like that's already installed. adwaita-icon-theme is already the newest version (41.0-1ubuntu1).
Is there something else I could try?

I have to respectfully disagree, the whole point of flatpak is to distribute everything that is needed to run the application. And apps really should strive towards working out of the box without any additional tweaking. That should be the case per @vchernin comment but is not. The combined download was about a gigabyte for me already so drawing the line for a additional icons is probably not the breaking point.

If there is no other way we will have to embed them. But it has been so long since someone reported having broken icons and specially so many broken icons that embedding them in our source code will probably just mask the problem that is causing this to happen in your installation. The main reason why we embed some icons is not because there is no alternative available in the user icon theme but because the wrong message would be given if the local icon is used.
For example for the Output / Input tabs icons we just request the usual speaker / microphone icons. Any decent icon theme out there provides icons for microphone and speakers. It is bizarre that these ones are broken while the "network-server" icon requested for the pipewire tab works.
Is there something else I could try?
For now follow step number 3 at https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Reporting-Bugs so we can see if some warning is shown when running in debug mode.

Based on what I saw in Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua source code they do not seem to provide some common icons indeed. I do not remember if the system is able to fallback to another icon provided by one of the other themes installed. It is probably being dumb and searching only in the theme currently loaded by the user and ignoring the other ones installed.
Other than setting the desktop to a more complete icon theme embedding icons in our source seems to be the only way. But I have no idea about when this is happening. We literally have to download all the icons to our source code, rename them, adjusting the build scripts, give the appropriate credits, etc.
And the people that want to see our icons following the ones from the icon theme they set to their desktops will probably open issues asking why this does not work anymore...
Could you confirm with eg the flatseal app from flathub that there are no flatpak permission changes to easyeffects or globally? There should be a reset button which resets to defaults.

@wwmm Maybe fall back to bundled icons if theme does not have appropriate icon available? I know, all of this work for icons sounds a bit PITA for possibly small amount of users. Although I suspect not many have gone the trouble of reporting this issue as app works fine otherwise.

@vchernin I didn't even have flatseal installed. I did install it and verify per your request. Unfortunately there aren't any overrides that I can see and I even tried resetting EasyEffects from flatseal.

I would gladly do it if it were possible to implement the fallback on our side. But unfortunately it is up to gtk and the user desktop to do it. In the past some users faced a similar problem. But the amount of broken icons was not so big. It seems it will depend on how complete the user icon theme is.
I also have broken icons but only on wayland. Additionally Font is not smoothed out. Font is not smoothed out also in app Flatseal. Icons and font are displayed good under X11
Additionally Font is not smoothed out. Font is not smoothed out also in app Flatseal.
It may help to take a look at section 6.13 of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK. Some questionable approach was taken in gtk4 font handling.
