Bug#1109086: gnome-terminal: Missing icon of the default profile
... although... g't-s help pages contain the sentence "The default profile is marked with a check mark symbol." So changing to a star would need a string change, translation work etc. Maybe it's simpler & safer to stay with some other tick-like symbol, like object-select-symbolic. e.

Forwarded upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/8126 I'm not a big fan of g-t shipping its own artwork. I wouldn't go into the refactoring to use a Unicode character either, it's just not worth it :) starred-symbolic sounds great to me. e.

"user" wrote: Default profile icon is missing / shown as the "empty icon". I believe this is because the emblem-default-symbolic icon is no longer present in the Adwaita icon theme. A workaround is to install the adwaita-icon-theme-legacy package.

The GTK 4 port of gnome-terminal briefly used "object-select-symbolic" for this purpose, which seems like it could be a reasonable workaround for the upcoming Debian 13 stable release - I actually meant to do that in 3.56.2-1, but I'm juggling updates to too many GNOME packages and I forgot. (The GTK 4 port of gnome-terminal now uses a Unicode check-mark instead of an icon, which is probably too intrusive a change for Debian 13.) Or perhaps starred-symbolic or checkbox-checked-symbolic could be a good substitute? (The more I think about it, the more I like starred-symbolic for this purpose, actually.) Or gnome-terminal could provide its own icon resource via the GResource mechanism. smcv
