How can I get the standard colored Gnome Adwaita folder icons when I select the Adwaita icon theme?
When I select Adwaita (default) as my icon set in GnomeTweaks, all of the icons displayed in Nautilus in my home folder are black-and-white symbolic icons.
I reinstalled the adwaita-icon-theme package, but this did not solve the problem.
There is only one places folder inside my Adwaita icon theme.
find /usr/share/icons/Adwaita -name places
/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/places
I looked in /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/places, and I see the same black-and-white symbolic icons:
ls -1 /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/places
folder-documents-symbolic.svg
folder-download-symbolic.svg
folder-music-symbolic.svg
folder-pictures-symbolic.svg
folder-publicshare-symbolic.svg
folder-remote-symbolic.svg
folder-saved-search-symbolic.svg
folder-symbolic.svg
folder-templates-symbolic.svg
folder-videos-symbolic.svg
network-server-symbolic.svg
network-workgroup-symbolic.svg
start-here-symbolic.svg
user-bookmarks-symbolic.svg
user-desktop-symbolic.svg
user-home-symbolic.svg
user-trash-symbolic.svg
(I am using Ubuntu 19.04, and I have the gnome-session package installed).
Here is a screenshot of my home folder:
vanilla-gnome-desktopand the/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/folder now has multiple sub-folders, such as16x16,32x32,48x48, etc. Inside these are colored folder icons. Then, if I select Adwaita (default) as the icon theme in Gnome Tweaks, I can see colored "home" folders in Nautilus.
