Fallback Icon theme for entire system

Sat Mar 18, 2017 11:10 am
I am using the Papirus Dark theme in KDE Neon Stable Dev Edition 5.9.3, when a icon is not found (such as Eagle cad) it defaults to the papirus no icon placeholder as it should. Would it be possible to select a fallback theme which allows the system to search the fallback theme for an icon before defaulting to the no icon place holder.

For example, Eagle cad icons do not exist in the Papirus theme, however they do in the Numix themes. If my icon theme is selected as Papirus, I'd like the Eagle Cad icon to be the icon from the Numix theme. And obviously if there is no icon in either theme the primary theme's no icon placeholder would be used.

Does the theme have the 'Inherits' key ?

Icon Theme Specification: https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon- ... atest.html:

Inherits

The name of the theme that this theme inherits from. If an icon name is not found in the current theme, it is searched for in the inherited theme (and recursively in all the inherited themes).

If no theme is specified implementations are required to add the "hicolor" theme to the inheritance tree. An implementation may optionally add other default themes in between the last specified theme and the hicolor theme.
