Re: [Geary] Missing icons on buttons + Feature request

Hi Manish

I'm putting Geary list in Cc, as I'm just a user (and translator), not 
a developer. I'm sure that developers will be happy to read your words 
:-)

Geary relies on icons provided by the theme defined in your desktop.
For example, I'm using the theme Adwaita on Fedora/GNOME and the icons 
are provided by the package called adwaita-icon-theme.
There's a discussion on this topic on geary-list, title "composer 
icons". GNOME mail archive is extremely slow at the moment...

If you don't get any feedback in this list, you may add a feature 
request on GNOME bug tracker (which seems very slow as well.. perhaps 
they are doing some work on GNOME servers)
