title: How can I change icon theme in Inkscape?
body: <p>I'm using Inkscape (0.92, installed via pacman) on Linux (Manjaro Gnome) with a dark theme.  </p>
  
  <p>It is very hard to see the icons in Inkscape (gray on gray) and therefore I'd like to change the icon theme. I think I should be able to do that by replacing the <code>icons.svg</code>, but unfortunately I don't see any change if I replace the file in <code>/usr/share/inkscape/icons/</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In Inkscape under Preferences -> System there is a setting "Icon theme". But it is just a text box with locations, that cannot be changed. </p>
  
  <p>The text box content looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/username/.icons
    /home/username/.local/share/icons
    /home/username/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/icons
    /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons
    /usr/local/share/icons
    /usr/share/icons
    /home/username/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/pixmaps
    /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/pixmaps
    /usr/local/share/pixmaps
    /usr/share/pixmaps
    /home/username/.local/share/inkscape/icons
    /home/username/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/inkscape/icons
    /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/inkscape/icons
    /usr/local/share/inkscape/icons
    /usr/share/inkscape/icons
    /home/username/.config/inkscape/icons
    /usr/share/inkscape/icons
    /usr/share/icons
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked all the locations for icon files and tried to add the <code>icons.svg</code> file to some of the locations, with no change after restarting Inkscape.</p>
  
  <p>Is there another way to change the icons? Or how can I find out where my Inkscape installation is getting the icons form?</p>
  
  <p>The issue seems to be similar to this <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1102292/ubuntu-18-04-inkscape-0-92-cannot-change-icons">post</a> regarding Ubuntu.</p>
