How do I change my icon theme

[aadilayub]

I want to override the icon theme for the "BlackHole" regolith look. I remember in Regolith 1.0, I was able to do this by changing this line:

#define icon_theme          Arc

How would I accomplish the same in Regolith 2.0? I tried adding this to my ~/.config/regolith/Xresources:

gnome.icon.theme: Paper

I also tried using the gnome.icon-theme variable instead

Ah never mind, I was able to change the icon theme by using the following steps:

Run xrdb -query

$ xrdb -query | grep icon
gnome.icon-theme:	Paper
gnome.icon.theme:	Paper
gtk.icon_theme_name:	Moka

Update gtk.icon_theme_name in ~/.config/regolith2/Xresources:

regolith.look.path: /usr/share/regolith-look/blackhole
gnome.icon.theme: Paper
gtk.icon_theme_name: Paper

Yep, glad you got it handled @aadilayub . xrdb -query is a useful tool to look at all settings specified, and then easy to copy/paste into your override file as you've done.
