- This improves modularity. Each app brings its own icons in its directory instead of a centralized directory. Tests: - Install an app and notice that the installation notification has the icon. - Visit an app's page in Apps and System (cockpit) section and ensure that the app's icon is being shown. - Visit the Apps and System section and notice that apps' icons are being shown. - Visit the home page and notice that shortcuts' icons are being shown. - Visit the URL /plinth/api/0/shortcuts and notice that the URLs for icons are accessible and lead to proper icon files. - Build developer documentation and notice that Tutorial -> View and Reference > Menu pages show the expected updates.

Setup on Debian *************** Install the following Debian packages: * python3-sphinx * python3-sphinx-autobuild If your preferred text editor doesn't have support for the reStructuredText format, you can install a simple desktop application called ReText. It has live preview support with split panes.
