The /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/index.theme sets Adwaita as the default icon theme for the HighContrast team.
Unfortunately some of the needed icons are missing in that team. I wonder why the HighContrast icon theme is not used here by default? Another observation: as visible in David's screenshot there are some icons missing also in the HighContrast icon theme. However, these missing icons are replaced by their Adwaita counterparts resulting in a much better experience: no missing icons in the settings app (even despite the inconsistent theme). I believe choosing HighContrast for the icon theme is a better choice than what we currently have. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644662 Title: Icons missing when appearance setting is "high contrast" Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce this: Open System Settings.
