Hello again,

you can just add the "iconTheme=" line anywhere after "[mainWindow]" and before the next "[]" section header. But this is only necessary if Qt does not pick up your icon theme at all and you always see the same fallback icons within qpdfview.

If you really want to theme the application icon itself, one could of course install it to "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/scalable" but this would add a dependency to the fallback "hicolor" icon theme. Running Ubuntu this probably isn't a dependency at all and your package maintainer (Benjamin Eltzner) could decide to install the icon (and corresponding rasterized versions) to this location instead like it is for example done in the openSUSE packages available at [1].

I'll think about whether I am willing to take the extra dependency upstream, but I sounds reasonable (since it's a rather soft dependency in any case).

Best regards, Adam.
