Icons Missing

[Simon Lees]

Hi,

Firstly sorry for breaking threading (I'm not on list and couldn't find 
a easy way to reply, please cc me in replies).

I am the enlightenment maintainer for openSUSE and I am hitting the same 
issues running many of the programs I use daily under enlightenment 
(Dolphin, kate, ...). In addition to missing icons any changes to the 
"Color Scheme" made in systemsettings5 arn't applied. Both of these 
worked in KDE4 and now feel like a major regression.

That indeed would be nice, but I doubt there would also be a cross DE way of
setting the KDE/Qt Color scheme :-P, although enlightenment does have a way
of setting the gtk theme / icon theme.

While such a thing does not exist it would be really nice if it used the color
scheme / icon themes defined in systemsettings5, so that its changeable, us
people who use non standard DE's are used to going and loading up
systemsettings to change the look of Qt based apps and using something like
lxapperance to change gtk based ones. Not being able to set a icon theme or
color scheme is a major regression.
