[SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I upgraded earlier to Gnome 3.10. Although I've had a lot of problems.. I'm working on them one at a time.

Most of the default icons are not showing anymore. My Nautilus looks like this:

Some of the applications icons do still exist.

If I create a new user and log in, the icons are all fine. But I cannot figure out how to bring back icons on my own user account.

I tried running the command on http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/ho … e-defaults, which set my favourites and wallpaper back to default. Icons still aren't fixed.

I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache on my icons folder. Tried running xdg-user-dirs-update. Tried sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gnome-icon-theme). Tried running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and tried reinstalling librsvg. None of these have helped.

Thanks.

Try use clean dconf.

Exit gnome-session and backup ~/.config/dconf then start the session.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I renamed ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and manually added in my icon theme to the new file that was created. This seems to have fixed it.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Not solved for me I'm afraid. I'm running Openbox + Tint2 setup, with quite a few Gnome applications. I use the Oxygen icon theme.
Since the upgrade to the Gnome 3.10 packages, my GTK3 applications have missing icons which only reappear if I choose the GNOME icon theme using lxappearance, which modifies ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Here's my normal settings.ini:

[Settings] 
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix
gtk-icon-theme-name=oxygen
gtk-font-name=Arimo 9
gtk-cursor-theme-name=aero-drop
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb

When 'gtk-icon-theme-name=gnome' is used instead, the icons display in GTK3 applications.
Any ideas please how I can get the Oxygen theme to play nicely with Gnome 3.10 applications?

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Well, I don't know what your issue is, but what I've figured out re: icons & gtk3.10, in case it might help:

- options gtk-button-images & gtk-menu-images are now ignored, probbaly not the issue here but just mentioning it.
- when looking for a symbolic icon  and failing to find one, you now get the broken/missing icon (i.e. no more fallback to the non-symbolic icon). Also, gtk sometimes uses symbolic icons by default, e.g. when showing a warning/error/question/etc message dialog, icons used there are symbolic ones.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Hi ninian!
Have you tried to add the "inherits" line in the "index.theme" file of your theme (put it in your ~/.icons  folder)?
Maybe the missing icons were the fallback ones, belonging to another theme.

Example:

Name=GNOME-Carbonite
Comment=Colorized Gnome Icons
Inherits=gnome <- choose a different theme here.

Cheers :-)

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I had the same kind of issue after the 3.10 update (a bunch of missing icons), it was linked to a problem in the svg rendering engine, reinstalling gdk-pixbuf2 fixed everything.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Thanks for your suggestions, jjacky, marcoscan and xor-bzh.
Will experiment with them all when I get home from work and back to Arch!

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I have the elementary icon set installed and my system is missing some icons, too. I guess those different icon sets need to be updated for Gnome 3.10. Too bad that Gnome doesn't  fall back to the built-in icons in this case, I guess we should file a bug.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

from https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstab … icon-theme:

GtkSettings:gtk-fallback-icon-theme has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code. This setting is ignored.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Tried the various suggestions to no avail, I'm afraid.
Thanks for them anyway!
I'm really starting to dislike these Gnome upgrades ...

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

Re: icons & GTK 3.10, I had a couple of issues myself:

- because I don't have (any) symbolic icons, and there's no more fallback to non-symbolic icons, lot of icons were broken for me.
- icons in menus & buttons were gone, as GNOME folks decided to get rid of icons for some reason.

Both of those I fixed patching GLib/GTK: the former adding a fallback to non-symbolic icons, the later reverting the commits that removed support of options gtk-button-images & gtk-menu-images.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I'm actually still having some more theme related issues. Firefox does not seem to be using my icons set any more. It's using some fallback icons, and looks terrible.

I can't seem to change the font for "Interface" in tweak. Titles and Monospace settings are used, but Interface is ignored.

Edit: Managed to fix these by using gtk-theme-switch2 and lxappearance.

Trying this again and looking at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325966 seems to be successful.
Added gnome to the Inherits line in /usr/share/icons/oxygen/index.theme thus:

Inherits=hicolor,gnome

Thanks for your help!
