+# Unhardcode the icon and cursor themes
+
+The appearance drawer's Icons tab (`quickshell/appearance/Icons.qml`) owns the
+active icon and cursor theme and the cursor size. It sets them through
+gsettings (`org.gnome.desktop.interface` icon-theme / cursor-theme /
+cursor-size), the Qt configs (`qt5ct.conf`, `qt6ct.conf`: `icon_theme=`),
+`gtk-3.0/settings.ini` and `gtk-4.0/settings.ini` (`gtk-icon-theme-name`,
+`gtk-cursor-theme-name`, `gtk-cursor-theme-size`) and `environment.lua`
+(`{X,HYPR}CURSOR_THEME`, `{X,HYPR}CURSOR_SIZE`). Every write is an in-place
+rewrite of an existing line; no file is written whole.
+
+## Done
+
+`templates/gtk/index.theme.in` was the one real conflict: it is generated and
+installed whole-file into `~/.themes/udt/index.theme`, which the drawer never
+touches, so its `IconTheme=` and `CursorTheme=` went stale on a drawer switch.
+Both keys are dropped. gsettings wins over a metatheme hint on Wayland, so the
+drawer's value now simply stands.
+
+## Not a conflict
+
+`templates/qt-gtk/{gtk3-settings.ini,qt5ct.conf,qt6ct.conf}` are reference
+copies that nothing installs: no `install.sh` reference and `git log -S` finds
+none ever existed. `install.sh` only seds `gtk-theme-name` into the live
+`gtk-3.0/settings.ini`, never an icon or cursor key. Each file now says so at
+the top.
+
+## Consumers: now wired to gsettings
+
+These *consumed* an icon theme to resolve icon paths rather than setting the
+system theme, so a drawer switch left them pointing at the old theme's icons
+until edited by hand. All three now follow the drawer:
+
+- waybar-theme-udt: `bin/wb-icon` reads the gsettings key and resolves names
+  through GTK icon lookup; `install.sh` bakes the results into the generated
+  `modules.css` and `taskbar.jsonc`. Re-run its `install.sh` and restart waybar
+  after a switch. See that repo's `TODO-icons.md`.
+- `~/.config/rofi/config.rasi` — `icon-theme:` commented out, so rofi uses the
+  desktop theme.
+- `~/.local/share/applications/firefox-clean.desktop` — absolute `Icon=` path
+  replaced with the bare name, which the desktop-entry spec resolves through
+  the active theme.
+
+`~/.config/hypr/hyprqt6engine.conf`'s `icon_theme` is commented out.
