I want to use KDevelop AppImage because I experience some parser bugs with the version shipped with Kubuntu 18.04 (5.2.1).

I'm using Breeze dark theme and I want to keep using it with the AppImage.
The icons are wrong, light icons are used instead of dark ones:



What I have tried so far:

- QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME. It changes the theme but not the icons.
- Extracting AppImage; copying /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark to squashfs-root/usr/share/icons/breeze. After creating/launching the AppImage: no change
- Extracting AppImage; copying breeze breeze-dark, also copying breeze-dark contents into squashfs-root/usr/share/icons/humanity. After creating/launching the AppImage: no change.
- Extracting AppImage; copying all themes and modifying squashfs-root/usr/share/color-schemes/Breeze.colors and squashfs-root/usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeDark.colors; I have added this section in both files:

Code: Select all

[Icons]
Theme=breeze-dark


Still... no change

How do I get the dark icons in KDevelop AppImage ?

Just figured out that icons are included as a binary QT resource in /squashfs-root/usr/share/AppRun.wrapped/icontheme.rcc so I just replaced it wih breeze-dark.rcc and repacked the appimage. I'd appreciate a more robust solution.
