Menu icons missing in Linux Mint, and several other distros #34

Closed mitya57 closed 9 years ago

mitya57 commented 12 years ago

I installed ReText 3.03 (both by downloading it from sourceforge.net and by adding the ppa archive and adding it through synaptic) on Linux Mint 12 LXDE and all of the icons such as "new," "open," and "save" are all missing. Only the text of "Preview is visible" and the outline of the buttons and their text cursor hints appear when you hover the cursor over them. I have installed all of the dependencies listed in the README. I also tried installing ReText on Lubuntu 11.10, Bodhi Linux 1.3.0, and ubuntu-12.04 on a virtualbox. Only in ubuntu-12.04 did these icons appear.

It is a known bug in Qt (icons work only on GNOME and KDE, see this Qt bug with patch available and this ReText bug for details).

A workaround is to manually set your icon theme in ReText's [configuration file](/p/retext/wiki/Configuration file) appending "iconTheme=YOUR_ICON_THEME_NAME" line.
