[Digikam-users] digiKam 5.0.0 from philip5 PPA missing icons

[Philip Johnsson]

Nate,

I have only Breeze and Breeze Dark to choose from as Digikam 5 icon themes.
I haven't tested if other icon themes can be used. Breeze Dark work as it
should with its icons as far as I can see but if you don't also change to a
dark Digikam 5 theme in Settings > Themes many Breeze Dark icons shows as
white on white and not that visible without also a dark Digikam 5 theme.

I also did some testing on Lubuntu 16.04 and the only missing package that
is needed on some system that doesn't use it is the breeze-icon-theme
package. I just made an update to my PPA for the digikam5 packages and made
breeze-icon-theme a dependent package so it always gets installed.

Still if you start digikam 5 on a non-KDE/Plasma desktop environment that
don't have KDE/Plasma icon theme configuration files somehow before you
need to manually go into Digikam 5 > Settings > Configure Digikam >
Miscellaneous > Icon Theme and select a icon theme and then restart Digikam
5 to have icons shown.
