What theme are you using? And where did you get that theme?

What theme are you using? And where did you get that theme?

For gtk theme i use Graphite from vinceluice i got it from github, icons im using papirus (github too) but it happens on all icon theme.

Graphite (like many other Gnome Shell themes) is incomplete. That's why you are having such problems.

But don't worry. I will be adding an --overlay-mode option to set-gdm-theme command which will ensure that icons and other resources from default theme are added to the theme being applied if it does not already contain those resources.

For now, run the following commands to fix those issues

set-gdm-theme -x
themesDir=/usr/share/themes
scalableDir=gnome-shell/icons/scalable
for GraphiteDir in $themesDir/Graphite-*; do
  for resource in actions/preview-close-symbolic.svg status/eye-{not-looking,open-negative-filled}-symbolic.svg; do
    sudo install -Dm644 $themesDir/default-extracted/$scalableDir/$resource $GraphiteDir/$scalableDir/$resource
  done
done
set-gdm-theme -s -b

overlayMode has been added as a configuration option and its default value is resources.

It means your problem has been solved.

If you ever want to restore the previous behavior set overlayMode variable in /etc/gdm-tools/set-gdm-theme.conf to none.

Please! Update gdm-tools and Check if the fix works for you; And if it does, report back to me.
