Hi,
As Kmail isn't a viable option for use with corporate Office 365 e-mail (it
doesn't support OAuth), I've installed Evolution with it's Exchange Web
Access package.
However, the icons in it are from the Adawita theme, and I don't seem to be
able to change them using Trinity. From MATE, if I change the Icon theme
using the built-in tool it also changes the icons on Evolution, but that's
not the case in Trinity.
I had managed to change the font and the decorations editing the
$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but not the icons. I've installed the
gtk-qt-engine-trinity package and tried to change the settings from Trinity's
Control Center, but that has only edited my settings.ini file and caused
Evolution to not run at all, with this terminal output
(evolution:2551): Gtk-ERROR **: 20:27:32.588: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected.
Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
Firefox also doesn't work now, with the same terminal output.
I think I'm missing something here, because it wouldn't make sense that I'd
be
able to change the decorations and font, but not the icons.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,
Carlos

As I don't want to give up kmail, I forward mail from outlook (to know I got
mail) and use Prospectmail when I have to answer. But I guess that won't do
if you need to answer corporate mails a lot.

That it what I was editing, but the icon pack just didn't want to work. I
already assumed I could only use GTK3 icon packs (although maybe I was wrong
to do so), so only looked for GTK3 icon packs. I also had tried lxappereance,
as Dr. Klepp said, to no avail.
I ended up giving up on the icon pack I was trying to install, and tried to
use the Redmond95 one after installing the whole theme with it's Python
installer, and that one works, so I settled with that for now. I just wanted
a somewhat complete icon pack which wouldn't clash too much with the
TDE-Classic ones, even if not the same. But it's strange, because the other
icon pack worked fine under MATE.

Maybe that's the setting you're looking for? It may still be restricted
to themes intended for GTK3, though.

By the way, the thing that was causing my GTK apps not to launch at all wasn't
gtk-qt-engine-trinity, but kgtk-qt3-trinity, which I had also installed and
was supposed to allow GTK applications to use Trinity's file dialogues when
run under Trinity. I uninstalled that package and they stopped complaining
about "GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process", and started executing again,
so maybe that package is broken or obsolete.

You might also try installing the package qt5ct + dependencies.
It's been a while since I used it, so I can't recall if it also helps to make
icons compatible with gtk2 and gtk3, but it definitely helps to make many
non-TDE applications use TDE color schemes.
Be sure, however, after installing, to run this command:
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >>
/etc/environment"
then reboot.
