GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 731201
ThemedIcon icon lookup problems with 3.13
Last modified: 2014-09-22 07:40:21 UTC
Created attachment 277867 [details] example I create a g_themed_icon_new_from_names() with {"icon-symbolic", "icon"} as arguments. Since 3.13 this shows a non symbolic icon while 3.12 shows the symbolic one. Only passing "icon-symbolic", makes both versions show the symbolic one. Company pointed out on IRC that this is a known bug, but since there was no progress on fixing this last week I'm reporting it here so it doesn't get lost. Example (Python) attached.
Likely a regression from the changes in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2014-April/msg00086.html
Example program shows 2 identical icons here. I assume this is fixed, then.
Not here, but I guess it's something with my jhbuild env then. Thanks for looking into it.
See the same thing on debian (non jhbuild) now. It only happens if another icon theme is used (gnome-brave in my case). The question is if ThemedIcon should search for all names in each theme separately or consider all themes for each name.
this is just more of the same: patching icon themes together by inheritance is just conceptually broken.
I can confirm that https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737000#c11 fixes this.
