Public bug reported: Description: When I open the "Appearance" section in the GNOME Settings application (gnome-control-center), my currently active custom icon theme is immediately reverted back to the default "Yaru" theme.
Steps to Reproduce: - Set a custom icon theme using a tool like GNOME Tweaks. - Confirm that the icons have changed system-wide. - Open the main Settings application. - Click on the Appearance tab in the left sidebar. Expected Result: The custom icon theme should remain active, and the Appearance settings page should load without changing it. Actual Result: As soon as the Appearance tab is clicked, the system's icon theme is forced back to the default "Yaru" theme.
