[SOLVED] No Icons in Krusader:5

[nowhereman]

Hi,

during a regular world update, krusader was update to 2.5.0:5.
Unfortunately now there are no more icons for most files / directories, toolbars and settings categories.
I don’t use kde otherwise, so probably there is some missing dependency or setting.

kiconthemes:5 is installed as a dependency. So maybe start with:
Where can I set an icon theme for kde5 applications?

You'll most likely want to install breeze-icons.

Ok, I have installed breeze-icons-5.26.0
That by itself did not solve my problem.
Can I enable it as the active icon theme somewhere?

You are not in a Plasma session, are you? There have been threads about this icon problem with Qt5 or Plasma 5 applications in other desktops. I tackled a similar problem by setting the envvars

Indeed, I use the so called awesome window manager.
Your suggestion works as far as the icons are shown again.
Setting those environment variables also changes the widget theme to something very ugly.
My settings are probably messed up. Some screenshots:

• krusader without icons
  
• krusader with breeze icons
  

I tried running systemsettings5, but the only Appearance module is called Application Style, which sets gtk theme options.
So I probably need to install some module for systemsettings as well!?

Maybe the breeze theme is missing: kde-plasma/breeze.

I suppose the systemsettings control modules come from kde-plasma/plasma-desktop.

Thank you, that did the trick.
With plasma-desktop and all the dependencies installed I could even select oxygen again.
