Some icons from Zafiro icons theme are only shown when I use Nautilus in root mode (sudo nautilus) but aren't shown in normal mode.

Normal mode: enter image description here

Root mode: enter image description here

Your user may not have read permissions for the custom icon files.

Make sure the path to any custom icon has read permissions.

To set permissions to rw-r--r-- on the icon files so that the owner can read and write, and all other users can read the file, open a terminal and run:

chmod 644 /path/to/iconfile

If your user does not own the file, you will need to run the command under sudo:

sudo chmod 644 /path/to/iconfile
