Description Shlomi Fish 2008-10-26 14:56:48 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In order to improve the look of my KDE 4 desktop (which looks badly here), I tried to change the icon them from Oxygen to Crystal SVG. Now system settings shows that the active theme is Crystal SVG, but there seems to be little effect on the actual icons on the screen.

The Crystal iconset you selected was installed by default or you downloaded it from Kde-Look ?.  Icon naming scheme changed from KDE3 to KDE4 (to follow the freedesktop.org scheme). I think Crystal iconset is still using the KDE3 icon naming scheme, so, the icons aren't really changed. (by the way, this isn't a plasma bug) :)

It was installed by default. I didn't download anything.

Yes, but I didn't have a better option.

Is this still an issue on Plasma 5 today with a modern Plasma-5-compatible incarnation of the Crystal icon theme?

On a mageia v7 system with plasma5 in a fresh user in startx, I don't see a crystal icon theme , and changing the the icon theme to oxygen has no effect. Changing it to newvula from "get new themes" did change it however.

When you try with Oxygen, does it take effect after a reboot? Does it never take effect?

After setting to Oxygen, it takes effect after logging out of the startx session and running startx again.
