[SOLVED] GTK icon theme issue

#1 Post by TripleK2004 »

[SOLVED ]I have installed Debian 11 the debootsrap way and built it up with apt configured to not intsall recommended and suggested packages. I installed an icon theme ( papirus ) and installed LxAppearance to manage `~/.gtkrc-2.0` and `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`
And LxAppearance did write to the respective gtkrc files with proper configuration , but still GTK apps including lxappearance don't obey the configuration with respect to icon theme and defaults to this in preview
I installed many icon themes to make sure and yes all other icon themes are shown as the same in lxappearance preview except for Adwaita
I am sure this is not a bug and im missing a gtk package since i am using no recommends and suggests in apt.conf
To make sure this is not a bug, i installed Gnome and purged the DE leaving the GTK libraries and it worked.
But I wanna know installing what package solves this.

You can run the programme from your screenshot in a terminal and look at the output. GTK usually gives error messages if themes are corrupt or missing.

Forgot to mention that, I did do that and apps didnt complain anything beyond few gtk theme related errors ( specific to my gtk theme ), and no errors when Adwaita gtk theme is used.
So no help from stdout

Code: Select all

# apt-get check
Maybe?

Synaptic also checks for missing dependencies.

Could it be that certain icons are installed as recommended packages? This wouldn't necessarily be shown as an error. Would it be possible to reinstall Adapta icons with the recommends flag enabled?

There is no issue with gtk theme , but gtk icon theme . Also adapta has only fonts as recommended and suggested packages

I started recursively checking the recommended package list on Debian pkgs website for the `gnome-core` package and its dependencies and found the `librsvg2-common` was not installed and that was the required one. Now the icons are fine.
Thank you guys , have good time with debian : )
