The status of this bug should really be set to high or critical, as Human should be considered broken by this. That Human didn't set out to replace every stock icon is not a good excuse, and this is why:
1) STOCK_OPEN and STOCK_DIRECTORY are very similar on the one hand, and often both will be used in the same application, so they should look similar. 2) On the other hand, they are *not* interchangeable semantically. If an application has a button that opens a folder, it will use STOCK_DIRECTORY. If an application has a button that opens a file, it will use STOCK_OPEN. This lack of interchangeability is especially true in the case of a gtk.Button(stock=STOCK_WHATEVER), where the application is also utilizing the internationalized text associated with the stock item. In this second case, something is really broken, as this screenshot shows. icon.set_from_stock() is at least working, despite not loading an icon that matches the theme. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-stock_directory.py.png" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5286671/Screenshot-stock_directory.py.png -- The GTK_STOCK_DIRECTORY icon isn't being themed https://launchpad.net/bugs/54890 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
