[gentoo-user] Gvim icon problem

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 441 bytes --]

I've just upgraded to Gvim 8.1.1486 & most of the icons have disappeared.
Attached are screenshots before/after, "before" from a desktop still running.

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

Is kde-plasma/kde-gtk-config installed? If not, install it. Then open 
the KDE "System Settings", and go to "Application Style". Select 
"GNOME/Gtk Application Style". Make sure "Icon Theme" is set to "Breeze" 
and "Fallback theme" is set to "Adwaita". If there's no "Adwaita" 
option, then emerge x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme.

You might need to logout and login for changes to take effect.

Yes.

Done & the icons are restored (screenshot attached),
but they're not as pretty as those before (see shot in earlier msg).

Is it essential to allow Adwaita ? -- in the past, I haven't liked it.

That wasn't necessary.

Thanks so far (smile).

You should be able to use Oxygen as your icon theme (I do this). The
screenshot looks like you have a mix of Breeze and Adwaita icons.

Well, that's how the Breeze icons look like. What icon theme were you 
using then? Maybe it was Adwaita? Then set that as the primary Gtk icon 
theme and set Breeze to be the fall-back.

Adwaita will only be the fall-back theme, meaning it's only used for 
icons that don't exist in the primary theme.

It's Oxygen I wanted & Adwaita will do as a back-up.
I've made a note in my home-made help file.

Thanks lots (big smile) !

That was re-assuring, but now I find that the tear-off menus have gone.
Can anyone suggest how to restore them ?
