Thegnome-tweaktool is a significant part of the gnome environment. You can alternatively change the theme and icons from the commandline. This is the commandline for changing the icon theme:gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'YourIconTheme'I understand the thought of installing other applications, but in this case, this tool really is a significant part of the environment. I'm really surprised it wasn't installed by default. You can view the themes with this command:ls /usr/share/themes

They will. To me, they are good for listening to bug reports and feature request. Put in a feature request at Bug reports and Feature request. I'm sorry that you don't like the first choice you see. But I'm glad it works. You might also try a few different Application Themes and Icon Themes. Did you try the Adwaita theme?

I had this issue, along with a very slow internet connection - due to the fact that I had used expressvpn, and I recently uninstalled it.
The problem was that uninstalling with apt remove expressvpn didn't clean up after it completely, so I still had a broken expressvpn service trying to run in systemd.
After I ran apt purge expressvpn, everything started working nicely, and the questionmark over my WiFi icon is gone.

I have the exact same problem, but it is sporadic: The icon is fine most of the time, except after some events, e.g. installing updates, it turns into a question mark, while the connection is still fine.
Rebooting works, sure, but I don't have the patience for that. OTOH, restarting the network manager seems to do the trick in most cases:
sudo service network-manager restart
Hope this helps to someone!

They will. To me, they are good for listening to bug reports and feature request. Put in a feature request at Bug reports and Feature request. I'm sorry that you don't like the first choice you see. But I'm glad it works. You might also try a few different Application Themes and Icon Themes. Did you try the Adwaita theme?

I had this issue, along with a very slow internet connection - due to the fact that I had used expressvpn, and I recently uninstalled it.
The problem was that uninstalling with apt remove expressvpn didn't clean up after it completely, so I still had a broken expressvpn service trying to run in systemd.
After I ran apt purge expressvpn, everything started working nicely, and the questionmark over my WiFi icon is gone.

I have the exact same problem, but it is sporadic: The icon is fine most of the time, except after some events, e.g. installing updates, it turns into a question mark, while the connection is still fine.
Rebooting works, sure, but I don't have the patience for that. OTOH, restarting the network manager seems to do the trick in most cases:
sudo service network-manager restart
Hope this helps to someone!
