Looks like this is a bug in Dolphin on non KDE DEs:

A fresh installation of dolphin v24.12.3-1 on cinnamon does not accept any custom themes/icons (nemo vs dolphin):

vm_nemo_vs_dolphin
vm_nemo_vs_dolphin1402×839 233 KB

Two workarounds are mentioned, downgrade to version 24.05.2 or install qt6ct-kde.

I advise against downgrading dolphin, rather use nemo until dolphin is fixed.
Also, a downgrade of dolphin to v24.05.2 does not seem to work properly:

vm_downgrade_dolphin
vm_downgrade_dolphin1401×833 204 KB

If you want to try the low risk workaround with qt6ct-kde:

sudo pacman -S qt6ct-kde

then reboot and open qt6ct-kde:

qt6ct

  1. In the Appearance tab:
    Style = kvantum-dark (or your custom style)
    Palette = Custom
    Color scheme = sweet (or your custom color scheme)

  2. In the Icons tab:
    BeautyLine (or your custom icon-pack)

    Then hit Apply and OK.

After that dolphin should look nice again:

Garuda Linux is the best thing that can happen to an old Mac.
