Looking in FossaPup the "Puppy Standard" icon collection is gone from /usr/share/icons and has been replaced with a more extensive one in a directory called PMaterial
So I copied PMaterial into /usr/share/icons in BionicPup32
Deleted the icon theme cache file inside it
Ran the command gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/PMaterial to re-create the cache file (not sure if this is essential but easy to do).
Edited /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to read gtk-icon-theme-name = PMaterial
Restarted X
Not seeing any missing icons in the Vivaldi GTK3 file chooser window now

Hello fernan,

Try this and see if it improves things:-
Open the file /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
Edit the line to gtk-icon-theme-name = Puppy Standard (remove "ubuntu-mono-dark")
Make sure you have all the correct spaces and upper case letters.
Save the edited file
Restart X server

Try the GTK3 programs again.
Icon themes are in directories in /usr/share/icons
This will use the icons in "Puppy Standard" - some may still be missing.
Installing a full theme and editing the file again (to match the name) should ensure all icons display.

Tried this !!! And worked !!!! ARIO is showing the icons !!
