Hi,
I just upgrade from opensuse 13.1 to opensuse Factory without major problems. However, when I open Settings > YaST, YaST has a KDE theme, even though I use the Gnome desktop manager.
I do believe that it is related to the package yast2-branding-openSUSE. I uninstalled it during the distribution upgrade, and when I try to install it on Factory, I have:
sudo zypper in yast2-branding-openSUSE
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: nothing provides yast2-theme-openSUSE-any needed by yast2-branding-openSUSE-3.1.0-1.2.noarch
Solution 1: do not install yast2-branding-openSUSE-3.1.0-1.2.noarch
Solution 2: break yast2-branding-openSUSE-3.1.0-1.2.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c):
Any ideas?
As root, try:
# yast2 --gtk
Does that give you what you want? Or is the theme still wrong?
I tried your command and I get this :

I would expect something like this :

It seems like only the icons are wrong. It is not a big problem, but it is inconsistent with the rest of the Gnome environment.
It is going to be using the theme configured (or default) for the root account, rather than what you configured for your account.
There are two different yast2-theme packages available (those contain the icons).
Your picture looks like yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen.
The other one is yast2-theme-openSUSE-Crystal which is the old KDE3-style.
I don’t see any other icon styles available (in the standard 13.1 repos at least), sorry.
Btw, YaST GTK’s icons look the same here in 13.1. Are you sure you only see this since upgrading to Factory?
Yes, when I was in 13.1 I had the icons of the second link
Well, I get the same (“KDE”, as you name them) icons on 13.1, even when logged in to GNOME:

OTOH, I noticed now that the icons you are expecting are in fact contained in the package “yast2-theme-openSUSE”.
And I succeeded in making them used now (even in KDE 
) by uninstalling “yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen” and running “sudo gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/” afterwards (the latter is important, without that the oxygen icons were still used even though they weren’t installed any more):
http://wstaw.org/m/2014/08/13/yast-gtk.png
Now YaST GTK still uses the hicolor icons even after re-installing yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen, so maybe it isn’t even necessary to uninstall that but only run that gtk-update-icons line…
This was on 13.1 though, but you can at least try that on Factory…
On factory, when I do “sudo zypper rm yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen”, it also removes yast2-control-center and yast2-control-center-gnome.
I did:
sudo zypper rm yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
sudo zypper in yast2-control-center
and when I open Yast in the settings, there are no icons at all. If I then do:
sudo zypper in yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
The icons I don’t want are back.
Ok, that might indicate something…
Probably that was an intended change.
The icons I don’t want are back.
Well, I cannot try that in my Factory VM at the moment, I don’t have enough space to install GNOME as well.
The only thing I can say now:
If you feel this is a bug, please report it.

A short followup:
I stumbled over this now:
https://github.com/yast/yast-theme/commit/1792796fb1ce80988425f9426e0fd1cbeabf9b49
So it is on purpose that there are no more different iconsets for GNOME and KDE in Factory.
And there’s also this bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893426
Since last update, my issue has fixed itself. I have now the good icon set, consistent with the rest of the system.
