This bug has been around for more than 1.5 years. Unfortunately, issues #468 and #649 were closed prematurely. The bug is still in the latest release.

This is what my 1.5.0 panel looks like on vanilla FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE - all the black document icons should be different app icons.

It is clearly not an issue with file permission of the icon files (as suggested elsewhere):

  1. The on my laptop problem appeared after upgrading Lumina from 1.4.1 (quarterly FreeBSD repo) to 1.5.0 (build from sources) - this should clearly not change file permissions of icon files
  2. The panel configuration (accessible as normal user) still shows the correct icons:
    panel-config

I hope someone can find out the cause of this and provide a fix... That is why I opened this new issue.

I upgraded Lumina from 1.4.1 (quarterly FreeBSD repo) to 1.5.0 (built from sources) as @utrenkner , panel configuration also shows the correct icons and so does the menu. But I have exactly the same panel problem.

In my case the chromium and mpv icons show up correctly, firefox and XScreensaver as black folder icons.

Fixed, as far as the consequences are concerned, if not causes: it seems the pixmaps folder still used by certain apps is deprecated in standards and that the icon-theme.cache file prevents new apps to be taken into account in some cases.

Example of how I fixed Firefox for myself:

sudo ln -Fhvs /usr/local/share/pixmaps/firefox.png  /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/firefox.png
sudo ln -Fhvs /usr/local/share/pixmaps/firefox.png  /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/firefox.png
sudo ln -Fhvs /usr/local/share/pixmaps/firefox.png  /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/firefox.png

sudo rm -f /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache
