Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System:

## KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Changing from one icon set to the other requires a reload of the apache webserver.

## USAGE

The default icon theme is determined by the /usr/share/apache-icons/default (and /usr/share/apache-icons/default.conf respectivly) file.

On Debian based system "sudo update-alternatives --config apache-icons" can be used to automatically select the active icon theme (including the default apache icons).

The following themes are available:

• awesome-png: Fork Awesome based, PNG format

• awesome-svg: Fork Awesome based, SVG format

• tango-png: Tango Icons based, PNG format

• tango-svg: Tango Icons based, SVG format

The SVG themes are preferable because they are sharper and scale losless. They require somewhat modern browsers though.

An example of the tango-svg theme can be seen on https://get.open-infrastructure.net.
