Package: gimp
Version: 2.10.30-1+b1
Severity: important

Since several weeks, gimp displays only small identical icons with a red
cross instead of the tools icons or tab icons.

It is absolutly not usable this way as one has to wait for the context
help to pop up to see, which tool the mouse is over.

This might, however, be a bug ig GTK as inkscape, as I seen today,
suffers from the same bug. But here, the most icons are a landscape
paper image with an A (or a triangle with an exclamation mark) in it.

What icon theme are you using, and what version is it?

Do you have librsvg2-common installed?

That seems wrong: to use packages from experimental, you should also have
unstable apt sources available.

Debian does not support the unofficial packages from deb-multimedia.org,
and those packages sometimes cause problems, although in this case it's
probably not directly relevant. For more information:

I don't know. How to see that?

Yes.

I installed the debian version with the same problem. So libmypaint is
not the problem.
ii libmypaint-1.5-1:amd64 1.6.0-2 amd64 brush library for mypaint

Hi,

I have some additional informations.

Now I found the setting for the icon theme. The error happens with the
"Color" theme (/usr/share/gimp/2.0/icons/Color) that is default. Also
all other except "Legacy" are broken. (Symbolic, Symbolic-High-Contrast,
Symbolic-Inverted, Symbolic-Inverted-High-Contrast)

So with "Legacy I can live now. (With that, I also find a setting to
switch back from the not so nice dark scheme, that is default for some
time, to default (system) scheme, that is bright and much more nice to
my eyes.)

Regards
Klaus

It seems that the reason is, that all icon themes except Legacy are not
png then svg images.

When I convert all svg to png, the icons are shown.

So, I think, there is a problem in gimp build process that the png
images are not created anymore.

Hello,
I had the same issue. For me librsvg2-common was not installed. After
installing it, the issue was gone.

sudo apt install -y librsvg2-common

Cheers,
Thomas
