The theme is not working for icons of applications installed with Snap Store (Ubuntu 22.04 - Gnome 42.5). It would be nice if it worked! :)
Thank you in advance.

Certainly, I'll have to add the links. I'll do it for sure, but no ETA for now. Thanks for bringing this issue! 🙏

Hi, I just realized I had this issue still open. Apparently, that's not something I can solve: Snap applications have their icon hardcoded (I can't find right now a more up-to-date link).
There seems to be a solution: copying the corresponding .desktop file from /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and editing there its Icon= entry so it points to an icon name, not a full path. This must be done for each application that you wish it to use the system's icon theme. This works because .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications override those defined elsehwere.
I don't have an Ubuntu system to test this right now, so I'm not 100% sure of what I've said because I can't check it myself, sorry.
