--- Comment #9 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Anton Saietskii from comment #8)

Please try to understand that who committed the update to adwaita did not m=
ean
to do any harm and simply committed an upstream upgrade, which is normal
policy.=20=20=20

Please avoid accusations of mischief. It is not possible to test every comm=
it
to icon sets with every other port that could be using them before committi=
ng a
normal version update.

BTW POLA has nothing to do with this. This was not an intentional change bu=
t an
unintentional regression. Requires fixing anyway but which fix is not obvio=
us.

Keeping ports at older versions is not an option except in extreme cases, a=
nd
even then it is to be avoided anyway. If XFCE uses some legacy icon names X=
FCE
is at fault [1] and the best that can be done is finding a workaround.

Changing the default icon theme of XFCE also comes with a cost. It would be=
 an
intentional gratuitous change that would astonish others. I can evaluate it
though.

In the while this can be easily worked around by installing yourself another
icon theme and configuring that.

Personally I'm using xfce-icons-elementary which works fine. Could you test
installing and configuring it in your desktop and report back if switching =
XFCE
default to that theme would be acceptable to you?

icons-tango + icons-tango-extras also looks fine as an option.



[1] Especially so if these icon names have been deprecated since 2022 or
earlier.
