hello everybody,
I must be missing something because I cannot find any similar report
all around
After upgrade from 3.6.1 to 3.7.x, most of the menus and icons of
evince are broken: some appear as rectangular areas without any string
or icon inside, some even with the "broken" icon. On the whole, the
upper part of the evince window is unusable. I have plopped an image
which shows what I am trying to describe here:

hmm, it seems the problem is with symbolic icons, do you have gnome-icon-theme-symbolic installed?
This is true also for the very latest release 3.8.0 What puzzles me is that 3.6.1 works perfectly. I keep evince under stow, so I can quickly switch between versions 3.6.1 3.7.5 3.7.92 and 3.8.0: of the four installations, only 3.6.1 works nicely, while all others give the broken gui. Just to be 100% sure, today I have also rebuilt 3.6.1 with the exact system environment which I built 3.8.0 with: same compiler version, same gtk libs, everything the same; same result: 3.6.1 good, 3.8.0 bad I even tried to strace evince, in order to spot any failure to get icons, fonts et similia: nothing evident (to me) I hope that some evince expert/developer on this list can spot the problem at once: it must be some blatant error on my side, but I cannot figure it out Of course, I will be happy to send any detail which might be helpful (gtk environment used to build etc.) Also, please, cc to me directly as I am not subscribed to the list I thank you very much in advance for any help ciao gabriele _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list evince-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
