Public bug reported: If you boot the livecd and switch to the unity8 session, you'll note that some icons don't have icons.
For example, gucharmap and font-viewer. You can test this locally by running "ubuntu-app-info gucharmap" and noting there is no icon path. I looked into this a bit, and I think it's because Unity 7 uses GTK+ to lookup icons. And its default algorithm looks in Adwaita, gnome, and hicolor as fallbacks. Unity 8 uses Ubuntu App Launch, which only looks in hicolor and Humanity. ** Affects: ubuntu-app-launch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Branch linked: lp:~mterry/ubuntu-app-launch/default-themes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1669913 Title: Some app icons in zesty unity8 livecd aren't found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-app-launch/+bug/1669913/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
