Bug Description

Icons of applications within the store are fixed and don't follow the theme chosen by the user. This makes the icons ugly and out of place when using any icon theme different from the default.

Expected:
Icons of common applications to follow the custom icon theme chosen by the user.

What happens:
Icons are displayed according to the default theme (ubuntu-mono-*).

I think this is unlikely to be fixed since the appstream metadata can't contain all possible themes.

I don't know how it works, but couldn't it load icons from the app names like launchers do?

@fcole90: Jup, and AppStream metadata provides the necessary stock icon information - but I am not sure if it is complete on Xenial.
Maybe check if this works on Yakkety.

No, the same behaviour happens on Yakkety.. I tried it with the Paper icon theme
