issue demo

I use a breeze theme with applications icons from numix-circle theme. Each time i restart desktop session they get reset in the panel. If i go to icon settings, change to another theme and back to breeze - panel starts showing application icons from numix-circle theme.

This is how i customized theme icons:

~/.local/share/icons/breeze % tree
.
└── apps
    └── 48 -> /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/48/apps/

For clarity i attached a short video displaying panel right after session restart, and how i fix icon appearance. Video shows latte-dock, however same thing happens with icons-only panel as well.

This started happening recently after i changed icon theme to another temporarily.

I did try deleting ~/.cache directory - that did not help.

To fix my issue i made a new theme that inherits from breeze and use new theme. Please clarify if icon overriding like i described in first message is supposed to work or was i doing it incorrectly from the start?

yeah I'm afraid that was never supported. :) What you eventually did is correct.
