Describe the bug Some icons of the icon theme, e.g. Firefox Web Browser or Visual Studio Code, are not replacing the default icons of the system.

To Reproduce Run the install script with the color set to dark. Select the icon theme in icons under appearence in Gnome Tweaks app.

Expected behaviour The icons should be replaced by the icon theme. The terminal app icon should have thinner lines as in the icon theme preview screenshot.

Hey, So the issue here is that firefox in ubuntu is the snap package, most likely the same for visual studio as by default ubuntu use snap to install applications (through the GUI). To fix it, several solutions:

  1. reinstall the applications using flatpak or repository
  2. Make a copy of the desktop file from the snap applications in $HOME/share/applications and change icon name, with the terminal it will look like this: Go to the snap folder containing .desktop file cd /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/ List all the file existing there ls Make a copy of the file of your application cp file_name.desktop $HOME/.local/share/applications/ ex for firefox: cp firefox_firefox.desktop $HOME/.local/share/applications/ the file name for visual studio code is something like code_code.desktop Then change the icon name in the newly created copy cd $HOME/.local/share/applications xdg-open file_name.desktop Finally in the text editor that will open, change the line that state Icon=some_strange_path.svg with Icon=name_from_the_theme (ex: firefox for firefox and com.visualstudio.code for studio code)

Icons should be updated after a few seconds, if not logout and in or restart the computer 😉

See video below that might be a little better to follow instructions
