Numlock Icon Issue workaround?

So this isn’t directly an issue with EOS, but using the Qogir Dark icon theme supplied, there’s a really odd bug with the caps lock / numlock widget :

Essentially it shows blank square when it should show Caps/Numlock status. Is there any way to work around this issue? It’s unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

Hmm…That’s interesting. I just checked, and it works as expected on my Plasma setup. Maybe try re-installing the theme?

Yeah I experience that too, - So here’s the weird thing, - if you log out and back in again after changing your icon theme, it will break, - so there’s a potential that something’s being cached in memory when the theme gets changed, so it’s not fully switched. (Just guessing!).

I wondered about that, so I logged out and back in just to check before posting. I’ll try rebooting and report back.

Thanks, it’s a strange one, appreciate your taking the time.

Caps lock still shows up. I’m wondering if it’s an issue with your theme. I’m currently using Breeze Twilight, which uses a mix of elements.

I can confirm it is working for me also. I logged in and out as well still works.

So weird, so I log out and back in EOS, Plasma Wayland :

If I then go to Settings and re-apply the theme, it bizarrely starts working :

Thanks all for sanity-checking, I think I’m just going to have a stiff whiskey and walk away from this one :slight_smile:

Yer it is odd, what happens under a new user?

Literally a fresh install of EOS today… :frowning: I’d be surprised if it was anything to do with crud from legacy configs given my rig’s just been nuked from orbit. :slight_smile:

Are you using the default Breeze Dark EndeavourOS global theme? I’d suggest trying one of the other dark variants and see if you still have the issue.

Yep! I am. Good call. I’ll play around with this and see if it’s specific to how that theme fails-over. (Generally system-tray widget icons should fall back to a default icon set if their own theme doesn’t contain the icon needed).
