Can't find Gnome icons in the theme list

Post by sblanzio »

Hello,
I've a relatively fresh LM 21.1 on my laptop. In the settings->themes->Icons I can see a huge list of icons themes to choose, but in LM 21.1 I cannot find the "Gnome" icons theme. This is odd because I can see that icons theme in my LM 20.3 on my desktop, and the /usr/share/icons/gnome folder is present in both my LM installations, full of files and subfolders.

Any hint?
Thank you very much in advance!

Copy /usr/share/icons/gnome to ~/.icons/

Rename the gnome directory. Name is arbitrary except gnome of course... Don't ask me why Mint has installed this icon theme but seems to blacklist it by name. I do not know either.

That worked perfectly, thank you very much!
That's surprising since it worked at least until LM 20.3... I guess I should open a bug ticket?
