Public bug reported: The Yaru team added some icons to the theme for use in legacy GTK2 apps (e.g., document-new, document-export and so on).
These looked good in apps like Inkscape. However, during regression testing, it was found that the icons caused unpredictable behaviour in other GTK2 apps. https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/2108 includes screenshots. The only way to fix is this to provide a 100% complete legacy icon set including all sizes, which isn't achievable for 20.04. So, our PR https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/pull/2127 has removed the legacy icons from Yaru for now. It would be great to have a feature freeze exception for this. Any existing screenshots shouldn't be affected unless they show third party GTK2 apps on the desktop, and it would be a minor cosmetic difference if there's a difference at all. If we don't have the freeze exception, some legacy apps will look poor, as you can see from the issue https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/2108. Apologies for not realising this before the freeze! The benefit is a more consistent and professional visual experience for users who install and use GTK2 apps. ** Affects: yaru-theme (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to yaru-theme in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870925 Title: UI freeze exception to remove problematic legacy action icons Status in yaru-theme package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Yaru team added some icons to the theme for use in legacy GTK2 apps (e.g., document-new, document-export and so on).
