I followed the steps here to install qt5ct:
fixmynix.com/change-qt5-application-style-with-qt5ct/
(latest version is qt5ct-0.23.tar.bz2)
build the package and configure once in qt5ct

and then run kstars at terminal with: QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct kstars

and the icons pop up right
I'm using ubuntu server 16.04 with vnc

I have now upgraded my OS to Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on RPi2.
Most of the buttons now have icons visible. Here and there an icon is missing.
Huge improvement, Great!!!!

Hi, I am running Xubuntu 16.04 and had the same problem.
After digging the forum nothing worked.

Installing this library "libqt5libqgtk2" solved the problem.

sudo apt-get install libqt5libqgtk2

I checked again and without any other manipulation all icons are no present on the buttons.
Also the new feature allowing to create profiles before launching and connecting the indi-server to devices works very well.

In order to repeat, I just upgraded to Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 and installed kstars-bleedingedge and it is all OK.

I have just made a clean install of Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64Bit and kstars-bleeding on a laptop and icons did not appear.
Made a sudo apt-get install oxygen-icon-theme and also solved the problem.

Be careful with this. I tried this yesterday because he reclaimed on dependencies and it completely broke my system (xubuntu). Conflicts between qt5 versions can happen.

Yes that may happen if you have more than one version installed, I had no problems either with the RPi or the 2 PC's I have installed.
It didn't ask me for dependencies, maybe because I had them already installed.

Anyway thanks for the warning, I should mention, first try the last post:

sudo apt-get install oxygen-icon-theme

that fixed the problem too and it's probably safer.

Same issue in my Debian buster. I fixed it by installing the meta package "breeze".

sudo apt-get install oxygen-icon-theme

gave me icons on ubuntu 16.04. Maybe a dependency on this should be added to the kstars package?

KStars uses breeze-icon-theme

Ok, but installing oxygen icons fixed my missing icons issues, as it seems to do for others here also. Maybe it is something different which oxygen icons package depend upon that is missing and being installed in the process?
