What a blast from the past, I don't even remember filing this here. My procrastination-powered icon theme replacement while working on my master's thesis in Lyx - those were the days. I believe Tango icons were cool back then :D I learned my LaTeX skills by embedding so many ERTs that I never needed to use Lyx again once the thesis was done.
Anyway, sorry for the aside. I do remember filing a bug report upstream. Found the link in my archived mail: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5812. I eventually wrote a patch myself that fixed the problem, and a few days later was asked to write to lyx-devel to release it under the terms of the GPL. First time I did anything in C++, if memory serves me right. Hey, look at that, my name even still appears on the list of contributors. Also, the upstream ticket was set to fixed 9 years ago, as my patch was included in Lyx 1.6.3. So by any means, you can close this ticket now, the problem is fixed. ** Bug watch added: www.lyx.org/trac/ #5812 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5812 ** Changed in: lyx (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to lyx in Ubuntu.

These icons can be overridden by placing new icons in ~/.lyx/images (or directly replacing the ones in /usr/share/lyx/images). Changing Lyx's appearance to match the rest of the desktop is important to me since the default icons are, I'm sorry, quite unbearably ugly. For some reason, the icons on the math panels, the icons on the TOC sidebar, and the banner.png start splash cannot be replaced. Even after deleting the image files, they keep being displayed. The .png files are completely ignored, it seems as if they are somehow hardcoded into an executable, or are stored in a mysterious location that I am unable to find (although the .deb package clearly says that there are no icon files stored elsewhere). This is a regression from the Lyx version of Hardy Heron, where all *.xpm images could be replaced correctly (the regression might be connected to the switch from .xpm to .png images). If they are linked into an executable or library, please fix this. 1) Where are these images stored? 2) How can they be replaced? Any help is greatly appreciated.
