GParted menu icons illegible in dark theme

[jacobgkau]

Describe the problem: In GParted, the menu/toolbar icons are nearly illegible due to lack of contrast when using the default Pop Dark GTK theme combined with the default Pop icon theme:

Switching to the Adwaita icon theme makes the icons legible:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open GParted on a freshly-installed Pop!_OS 20.10 system.

Distribution: Pop!_OS 20.10

Icon theme version: 2.1.0~1610392112~20.10~ef2be60

Can confirm the same for Pop OS 20.04 LTS. The problem seems to be with icons. I had opened the issue here but was redirected here.

To anyone trying to solve this issue on Pop OS, changing the icon theme from "Pop" to "Pop OS Branding" solves the problems. So does using any other default gnome themes (Adwaita, Breeze, HiContrast) solve all the problem for now atleast.

Those don't appear to be Pop-themed Icons. I'm not sure what's going on with the loading, but something definitely seems off.

I noticed you're still using Pop 20.10. Please be aware that 20.10 is not currently supported, and upgrading to/reinstalling with Pop 21.04 is advised.

I can't seem to replicate the issue in Pop 21.04. Loading this there I get:

I reported the issue before 21.04 was released. 😛

I am still seeing this on my primary machine, which was upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04:

But I'm not seeing it on another system with a fresh 21.04 install. I'll try to figure out what breaks it. This isn't specific to one machine, but could be specific to something else I tend to install or configure on my machines (although my notes in the OP indicated it was happening on fresh installs of 20.10-- maybe something got carried over that needs to be reset to fix this.)

Since those aren't Pop icons, I'll bet it's related to #94

@jacobgkau Do you have breeze-icon-theme installed?

@jacobgkau Do you have breeze-icon-theme installed?

I do, and can confirm installing that package is one way to recreate this on an otherwise-fresh 21.04 system.

I'm almost positive this is an inheritance issue then. Should track this via #94
