Bug Description
If Hidden=true in an index.theme file, the theme is listed and selectable in the Unity Tweak user interface, but the theme should not be visible.
TEST #1:
1. Open the Hicolor icon theme index.theme file (/usr/share/
2. Notice that index.theme file has "Hidden=true" on the fourth line.
3. Launch Unity Tweak, and navigate to the Icons tab.
4. Notice that the Hicolor icon theme is visible and selectable.
TEST #2:
1. Edit an icon theme file under /usr/share/icons/.
2. Enter Hidden=true in the [Icon Theme] section.
3. Launch Unity Tweak, and navigate to the Icons tab.
3. Notice that the theme is still visible and selectable.
BACKGROUND:
According to "Icon Theme Specification" at Freedesktop.org...
"Hidden - Whether to hide the theme in a theme selection user interface. This is used for things such as fallback-themes that are not supposed to be visible to the user."
