[BUG] cannot set gdm icon theme #17

Closed Un1q32 closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Its annoying that I can't set an icon theme for gdm.

Describe the solution you'd like You should add a way to set the gdm icon theme.

Just run gnomeconf2gdm command. It will apply your current icon theme (along with other settings) to GDM.

tried that, didnt work

This is a bug in gdm-tools. There is a similar bug reported in issue #12. I could not detect the source of that bug. It could be the same here.

But you can manually edit files in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ directory and if any file contains icon-theme='theme-name' line, delete the line and run gnomeconf2gdm. This may fix the problem.

@realmazharhussain the only file in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ is 99-gnomeconf2gdm, which contains icon-theme='Papirus' (which is what i want it to be) but in gdm my icon theme appears to be Pop (the default in Pop_OS!)

Then it seems to be the exactly same problem as #12. For the moment, I cannot detect the cause of these problems.

The discussion on this problem should be continued in issue #12.
