[Solved] Strange XFCE4 icons behavior after an update (missing icons)
After a recent full update and reboot I noticed that my vibrancy-colors theme is not that vibrant anymore, and some icons, like Thunar and Chromium, are missing (check the tray below on the screenshot). I suspect the issue is with GTK compatibility. I tried reinstalling the themes and with no luck. Updating the cache in the /usr/share/icons/ does nothing. However, there are only two cursor themes in ~/.icons. I copied all the Vibrancy-Colors themes there and it changed nothing.
Here is the screenshot of how the workspace looks now: https://postimg.org/image/a95dwimnt/
Anyone?

Have you tried if other themes work fine? If the issue is not reproducible with another theme there is not much we can do, it's an aur package...

Are you/were you using a 3rd party freetype2 package (especially infinality)?

@svnset
No, all themes look the same dull way.
@Scimmia
Yes, I`m using infinality fonts. I`ve noticed the repos are no longer available now. Were they moved to a new address?

If you're using the infinality freetype2 package, make sure you're on at least 2.7.1. Older package break harfbuzz, which breaks a whole lot of things; including gdk-pixbuf2, which is responsible for doing a lot of icon loading/rendering.

Re: [Solved] Strange XFCE4 icons behavior after an update (missing icons)
Thanks for the hint, I ended up removing fontconfig-infinality and freetype2-infinality, then installing fontconfig and freetype2 from the official repos, like it is stated in this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52453.
Issue solved, icons returned to normal.
