Which one is selected at the moment in your Installation?
'Yaru' is set as icon theme, the deb version is 18.10.5
@eskander thanks for the info!
@madsrh can you confirm this on your cosmic daily installation(s)?
Yes I can confirm it.
That's very strange! I guess the icon name changed in upstream shell? :thinking:

@madsrh I cannot reproduce the volume icon issue, but it's something I saw from time to time also years ago. No clue what the reason is
@madsrh ..I have the same issue suddenly with the volume icon but in bionic..
I installed https://github.com/keeferrourke/la-capitaine-icon-theme
As you can see here is that the icon is somehow hardcoded, since it does not change when selecting la capitaine, unlike the other icons in the popup;

I guess this is yet again something for upstream or maybe it is ubuntu only? Then it would be something for launchpad =)
Maybe it's just different the icon-name
I'm not sure but maybe this could be the file
