  • Distribution (version): (Doesn't matter in this case)
  • Desktop environment: GNOME
  • Installing method: Papirus Installer
  • App name (version): Refine, used to change the icons

The GTK section for the Papirus Installer installs the icons in $HOME/.icons, which is a legacy path for GNOME, and Refine will not pick up Papirus icons in the settings. Using the KDE section however, the icons do show up, as the icons are in $HOME/.local/share/icons instead, which Refine picks up fine.

In my opinion, I think the GTK section could be misleading if one is using GNOME and Refine, instead of GNOME and GNOME Tweaks, and as Refine is going to be a modern replacement for GNOME Tweaks for many, I think the KDE section can be recommended for both GNOME and KDE, and the GTK section can still be there, but for GTK-based desktop environments.

GNOME Refine should pick up on ~/.icons too so that it implements the latest freedesktop Icon Theme Spec correctly.

I agree that a Papirus install in a user's home directory should probably go in XDG_DATA_HOME/icons, though. ~/.icons is not deprecated yet, but using it for housing anything other the user's own personal icons seems bad.
