can't find any criteria currently that covers application icons (though do
mention it if such a thing exists)...
At issue here are gtk3 applications that use non-standard (e.g. symbolic)
icons look particularly bad on kde (or any desktop that doesn't use an icon
theme that has does not have a fallback to gnome icon theme). See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018390 (*)
(includes screenshot), reported over a week ago without comment yet, so here
am, soliciting feedback.
If gtk applications need a gnome-icon-theme fallback to be fully functional,
then depending on the currently configured icon theme to do it feels like
the wrong approach to me.
Kevin (Kofler) and I provided what I think are constructive and not
unreasonable suggestions:
* restore Net/FallbackIconTheme support
* use a hard-coded gnome-icons fallback (instead of hicolor)
In particular, adding a hard-coded fallback to gnome-icons in kde is not a
particularly pleasing option (as mentioned in the bug already).
Did you try with gtk 3.10.1 ? We've fixed the 'generic fallback' to drop
-symbolic after exhausting other possibilities. E.g. for
drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic we're now looking for
drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic
drive-harddisk-symbolic
drive-symbolic
drive-harddisk-usb
drive-harddisk
drive
in that order.
