[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#922711: lxqt-branding-debian: lxqt-config-appearance unable to set lxqt-panel icons

[Alf Gaida]

Ok - thanks for the clarification - so it is not a bug, it's a feature 
:D - really.

It is damn hard to combine a dark panel and menu with the rest of the 
system in lighter colors, so the panel can have it's own icon set 
activated.

So - for the dark panel i set the panel override as shown in the 
picture: https://i.imgur.com/LjYw7oL.png

Without the override it would look like this:

compromize.

Panel is right and applications not or vice versa - it depends on the 
icon theme, a theme that work nearly right is oxygen - downside is:

One see the themes age and i don't think it fits well for a modern 
Desktop environment, to be honest, i can't stand it anymore - the Plasma 
guys likely see this this way too, they developed Breeze as replacement. 
Another theme that works fine nearly without glitches is the faenza 
theme, right now the modern themes like breeze or papirus icons need 
this this trick.

Thanks again for your report, i hope it clarify the situation a bit.

Cheers Alf
