Public bug reported: Since Yaru is now syncing with upstream adwaita-gtk and gnome-shell themes, I think it would be a good idea to also keep an eye on upstream adwaita-icon-theme.
adwaita-icon-theme mostly contains symbolic and action icons that correspond to code changes in gnome-shell, gnome-control-center and the rest of gnome apps. In every gnome development cycle, adwaita-icon-theme adds, fixes, or enhances its symbolic icons in order to reflect the code changes in the gnome stack. adwaita-icon-theme does not contain app icons since gnome apps ship their own icons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An example to elaborate: In the 3.34 development cycle, gnome added new battery icons in order to better represent the battery charge states: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/issues/6 That has resulted in: 21 new battery icons in adwaita-icon-theme and moving the legacy battery icons to a legacy folder: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/commit/377044f755c3ec994f661d787f50e633487b929d Code changes in gnome-shell to use the new icons, if available, and fall back to the existing icon names for compatibility with older icon themes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/bd18313d125aa1873c21b9cce9bbf81a335e48b0 Without reflecting the new changes in Yaru*, gnome-shell would still be falling back to the legacy icons, and not showing a better charge state as a result. * https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1482 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the gnome-stencils.svg as a reference: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/blob/master/src/symbolic/gnome-stencils.svg ** Affects: yaru Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: yaru-theme (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues #1544 https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1544 ** Also affects: yaru via https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1544 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: Since Yaru is now syncing with upstream adwaita-gtk and gnome-shell themes, I think it would be a good idea to also keep an eye on upstream adwaita-icon-theme. adwaita-icon-theme mostly contains symbolic and action icons that correspond to code changes in gnome-shell, gnome-control-center and the rest of gnome apps.
