Hi, I noticed that when using Adwaita theme the icon didn't change and it was because the Adwaita theme has png icons for some fixed sizes and if you dash have one of those sizes it won't be using the svg file.
I made a bash script to also substitute those fixed size png icons. Here it is: https://gitlab.com/hasecilu/dotfiles/-/snippets/2542660
