Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

I have installed the Numix Square theme. And it work really fine in the Taskbar.

But the Launcher area doesn't care about it.

I used lxappearance since I didn't found the file to edit.

Can someone explain how that comportment is possible? And how to fix it?

Re: Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

Did you restart Tint2?

Did you look at the documentation first? Menu -> Help&Resources -> Tint2

Does this help?:

$ man tint2
.
.
launcher_icon_theme  = name_of_theme : (Optional) Uses the specified icon theme to display shortcut
                icons. Note that tint2 will detect and use the icon theme of your desktop if you have an  XSETTINGS
                manager running (which you probably do), unless launcher_icon_theme_override = 1.
.
.

It might help if you posted the configuration that is not working, so others might try and reproduce the issue

Re: Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

My guess is - as suggested above - that the "launcher_icon_theme" line in /home/USERNAME/.config/tint2/tint2rc was not set to that icon theme - changing it only in lxappearance is not enough. (tint2rc is also available via menu: Preferences/Tint2/Edit Tint2s/Running Tint2s/tint2_tint2rc)

Re: Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

I was used to using tintconf to easily edit it, and it remove the launcher_icon_theme line when saving. Adding it does improve the result, but the ocons are still not the same:

Here is my config file:

But I am wondering if Numix-Square isn't simply differenciating the icon files (for the launcher) and thoses for the taskbar...

Re: Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

Is "Numix-Square" definitely the correct name for the icon theme?

Is that what is shown in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 after you change to that icon set with lxappearance?

You could try copying the .desktop files to ~/.local/share/applications/ (& change tint2rc to point to these) then change the icon= line in the .desktop files instead.

Re: Tint2 Launcher icons theme doesn't respect the current theme?

I git cloned the the base and square numix icons and transfered them (as root) to /usr/share/icons and seems fine to me.

How did you install them?

Using gui:

tint2conf > launcher > icon theme >dropdown box, choose theme.
