Closed Kwasow closed 2 months ago

Kwasow commented 2 months ago

Version information

Distribution (version): Ubuntu 24.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Installing method: papirus-icon-theme (from noble/universe) version 20240201-1 + icon-theme-papirus (snap) version 20240201

Details

Snap apps do not follow icon theme

Install papirus-icon-theme from the official Ubuntu repo
Install gnome-tweaks from the official Ubuntu repo
Instal icon-theme-papirus from the snap store
Select papirus as the icon theme in Gnome Tweaks

I know the snap theme is maintained by a community member, but I couldn't find where to report issues with it.

in short: snaps have hardcoded icons, use flatpak if you want theming.

I see why are confused now: Papirus snap is not for snaps, it's just the Papirus icon theme that was packaged differently. Icon request issue template warns you about snaps having hardcoded icons.

@morganist I am still confused, since this thread on Ubuntu Discourse would suggest otherwise: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connection-request-for-icon-theme-papirus-snap/34376/6

I tried to read more on this on my own, but it seems that there is very little documentation on custom icon themes for snaps, even though it seems it exists?

@SmartFinn you may need to look into that, but anyway @Kwasow for now we don't support snaps. And I guess snapcraft reviewers are not rushing to give some theme package a form of elevated sandbox privileges.
