But which? e lists icon themes in /usr/share/icons . they do not just have to exist with dirs, they have to follow a specific format. they have to have an index.theme file inside the dir to be a fully baked theme. (it also looks in other dirs too like /usr/share/pixmaps). it checks all of this in efreet_icon_cache_create.c in efl. if index.theme is not a valid ini-file like format, it will be ignored. if the theme says it inherits from another theme and the other theme is not there or is invalid - it won't be valid either. see the Inherits line in the index.theme. it could be all the themes you install say they inherit from 1 or more themes and one of these they inherit from is missing. > >> And somehow I still do not get the point.
