Where does Rofi look for icons?

[kafi-pl]

I'm on a minimal distro with the x11 protocol and i3 WM.
On my home directory I have the catalog .icons and I have the GTK variables set-up correctly
There doesn't seem to be an issue with my structure, because other apps can correctly query icons from there.

configuration { modi: "window,drun"; icon-theme: "Oranchelo"; show-icons: true; terminal: "alacritty"; drun-display-format: "{icon} {name}"; location: 0; disable-history: true; hide-scrollbar: true; display-window: "Window"; display-drun: "App "; sidebar-mode: true; }

This is the entry of my rofi configuration, and the catalogs look like this:

Maybe this is a known issue in rofi?
Because the other anwser is me having a skill issue

Any help is, really, wanted.

@sardemff7 knows better them me, so hopefully he has an answer.

If I remember correctly, ~/.icons is explored when looking for icons.

So it would help if we get some more information.

• Can you also give the version of rofi you are running?
• Does the theme you use actually setups icons? It is possible for a theme to override the 'show-icons' property.
• You can launch rofi like:

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Helpers.IconFetcher rofi  -show drun

to get more debug printed out.

Definitely should, that’s this part of the code

It still need a proper index.theme file, though I would assume other apps require it too

It should even get the icon theme you set in GTK (4 then 3), full order being: rofi-set theme, DE theme (if you set your DE as gnome-i3, i3 alone has no theme setting), GTK 4 (fallback 3) theme, fallback themes (defaults to Adwaita then gnome, MR in rofi to override those)
