Thanks for your answer. The icon theme name is Reflektions (http://linuxfever.deviantart.com/#/d287xmx) and I am the only user in my system. I am sure the theme supports the icons required as I have created the theme myself ( and as I mentioned the icons show up just fine when using 'lightdm --test-mode').
According to your reply, do I understand correctly that this is the desired functionality, ie always use the default oxygen icon theme? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to lightdm-kde in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078740 Title: LightDM does not use user's icon theme To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1078740/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
