virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme is a better name IMHO as it's what this virtual |
| 32 |
icon theme actually is - theme compliant with freedesktop standard (so that |
| 33 |
can be used by applications claiming support like chromium, KDE, Gtk apps), |
| 34 |
not just some icon theme (as any instant messenger icon set would fall under |
| 35 |
"some icon theme" category for instance). |
