I did a search. Can you try this workaround?

thanks for suggestion, i've tried to set XDG_DATA_DIRS, but not work.
also i've tried to refresh mime cache, still no lucky.

Modern themes use svg for icons.
It seems like 'libpixbufloader-svg.so' is missing in the appimage, so it fails to load theme resources.

@LucasXu0
It seems to be a bundle time error.
I was having the same issue when bundling locally and realized it was because the AppImage recipe is still set to use jammy sources and the CI runs on ubuntu:latest. Replacing every jammy with noble (for Noble Numbat) did the trick for me
