Icons are not being displayed correctly

I can change basically any section from TweaksAppearanceThemes properly, except for the Icons, which doesn't seem to be applied for most of the options.

Here's my Home folder using Yaru for icons:

Here's my Home folder using Humanity, Humanity-Dark, LoginIcons and a couple more. Same output for all of them.

When I try to use alternative themes, such as Dracula, Nordic, Arc-Darkest and Material-Black-Frost, the output is the same. It looks like some kind of system default. Adwaita (marked as default), DMZ-Black and DMZ-White, which are native on my OS, also look the same. This is how they look:

Here is some useful info:

  • The OS is Ubuntu 21.04.

  • I tried logging in, logging out and even restarting.

  • I got the non-native themes from Gnome-look.

  • Icons are stored in ~/.icons and themes in ~/.themes.

  • gnome-tweaks version is 3.34.0.

  • I use 1920x1080 resolution, even though the native resolution from my hardware is 1366x768. The issue happens in both cases.

  • No message is provided when I change icons.

You need to install the Adwaita icon theme. (This is because the full Adwaita icon theme is not included in the default Ubuntu installation).

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends adwaita-icon-theme-full

Solved for Adwaita. Still trying to get other icon themes to work as well

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
