Re: [Pan-users] running pan gives many errors

[Ken Cunningham]

I don’t know much about gtk programming, but it looks like software is meant to ask gtk where the icons are installed using Gtk.IconTheme.get_search_path docs.gtk.org I can’t see that function being used in pan so far.

Looks like most of yours are icon-related, likely due to not being able to find icons of the appropriate name.  The default probably falls back to either text labels or nothing, tho in some cases it might be a default probably blank or question icon intead.  What do your pan toolbars (both the main window one and the one in the post-creation window) look like?   Mostly text buttons or blank instead of a nice row of icon buttons?  That would be the likely symptom  if it can't find those icons.  (The preferences dialog should have an icon before the text label for each tab, too.) On Linux the solution to such icon errors is usually to install an appropriate icon theme.  I know little about Macs but would guess it's likely similar but probably more work as you may have to move the icons in place manually, even if an appropriate icon theme is installed.  And if it isn't, you may need to manually unpack and install as well. Meanwhile, a related current controversy (which my recent read-up on filled in my knowledge a bit) that may or may not be part of the problem that you're seeing... While the recently-default gtk icon theme was and still is adwaita, there has been some hubbub of late as it's no longer installing XDG (opendesktop.org desktop group, yes XDG is confusing but it's historical) standard full-color icons (their argument is these are legacy icons that can't be recolored appropriately to contrast with light and dark desktop themes as can the mono-color (transparent plus single-color) symbolic icons; the opposing argument is that the result is missing icons that the standard requires to be there, making apps depending on that standard look bad if not actually breaking them, depending on the degree to which they depend on those icons in their GUI). It's possible that pan is attempting to use some of these standard icons and failing to find them even tho the gtk-default adwaita icon theme is installed by homebrew deps in the appropriate location, because that theme no longer complies with the standard and installs them.  If that's the case, installing an XDG-standards-compliant theme in place of adwaita in homebrew could help.  Alternatively, there are fallbacks that can be configured (but adwaita doesn't, that being part of the controversy), manually if necessary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.   No HTML msgs.
