Hi everyone. Only some few of you will be aware of KIconThemes ability to load binary icon themes automagically.
https://cgit.kde.org/kiconthemes.git/tree/src/kicontheme.cpp#n48 The code looks for a icontheme.rcc and sets it as default theme. On Windows and Mac we rely on that code as it is more feasible to install that one file with an single application installer. This code also ensures that the theme path is set, which on Linux is done by the qpa. The problem with the current solution is that it only allows one single theme and is in a tier3 framework. I recently talked to David Faure and we agreed that it would be best to put those few line of code into a new created tier1 framework, with an explicit call instead of the magical loading. The explicit call would allow to specify the theme loaded and we can still maintain the current behaviour by putting a call to that new framework into KIconThemes. Now we need a name for that tier1 framework and ideally someone who steps up for the once in a lifetime chance to become maintainer of a glorious new tier1 framework. Cheers, Hannah
