Looks like wrong icon theme is used

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Software updater, when either self-pop ups or when manually launched, appears to be using a different theme from that of the default / user set.

In particular, I believe the package icon and the distributor logo icons are used from a fallback gnome icon theme instead of the default one. I'm not certain however, can it somehow be inspected which icons are loaded and used?

Maybe since it elevates privileges, different defaults are used?

(i'm currently in progress updating all the themes where vintage circle of friends is used, but i believe wrong icon theme is the root cause for software updater using older looking icons.)

system settings is up for upgrade, and it shows it with a Gnome blue screwdriver and wrench icon, instead of red wrench and large cog icon.

The correct logo is used for ubuntu there. Do you get that issue every time?

Not really, it's just I uploaded updated logo into all of the themes =)

A better example:
* In Software updater the "package icon" is a box partially opened to the right
* Default Ubuntu icon for "package icon" (e.g. any archive / .deb /
.ar etc) is a sealed cardboard box with a selotape and a pale debian
swirl on the front (or words .tar.gz etc.)

When there is update available for apps with stock icons wrong logos are used:
* System settings i blue screw-driver and a wrench, instead of a red
wrench and large cog
* Printers is a bottom paper feed icon, instead of top paper feed icon
* startup applications icon is blue, not purple

Etc.

Let me attach a screenshot.
