Description

I notice that when running rqt apps, like rqt_bag most of the icons are missing.

I am running a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04

Here is a screenshot of rqt_bag with missing icons:

rqt_bag before

For now, the temporary solution for me is to install tango-icon-theme on the system manually using sudo apt install tango-icon-theme

I reference this for the temporary solution https://answers.ros.org/question/372890/rqt-button-not-show-icon/

Here is a screenshot of rqt_bag after installing tango-icon-theme :

rqt_bag after

Notice that there is still some icons are still missing like the thumbnail icon

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing icons in rqt_bag on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation and compare the behavior before and after installing tango-icon-theme. The issue is resolved when the rqt application icons, including the remaining thumbnail icon, appear without manually installing that theme.
