Thank you!  I was able to as well.

Yes, I noticed that as well.  Interestingly, only some of them
were tools that specifically were not showing up for me with
0.9.34-rc1.  (For example, I can use Concentric Circles and Crescent
in this debug build.)

But others worked fine (and the icons appeared fine) in 0.9.34-rc1.
(For example, Zoom and Tile Zoom were not a problem;
That Magic tool icon (per `git blame zoom.png`) hasn't been touched
since much longer ago (July 2022), so I'm unclear why it's suddenly
not working in your debug build of 0.9.35 from today, but was fine
6 months ago (November) in 0.9.34-rc1.)

Here's a list, per Magic group:

 * clone
 * blocks
 * ripples
 * square mosaic
 * halftone

 * opposite
 * color & white
 * dither
 * dither (2nd)

 * zoom
 * tile zoom
 * panels
 * reflection
 * wavelets
 * rotate

 * crescent
 * spiral
 * square spiral
 * concentric circles
 * concentric squares
 * grass
 * pixels
 * comic dots (x2)
 * fretwork
 * hearts
 * stars
 * fractal (x4)

 * pattern
 * tessellation (x2)

 * checkerboard

 * 1-/ 2-/ 3-pt select & draw

 * lightning


I wonder if it's something specific about the PNGs.  And of course, now
that all of the tools are loading, I'm not seeing any complaints from
Tux Paint when it tries to load the tools. :facepalm:

For example...

Not working in 0.9.34-rc1; appearing white in 0.9.35 debug:

  ~/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/magic/icons$ file crescent.png ; identify crescent.png 
  crescent.png: PNG image data, 29 x 30, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced
  crescent.png PNG 29x30 29x30+0+0 8-bit sRGB 575B 0.000u 0:00.000

Working in both 0.9.34-rc1; appears fine in 0.9.35 debug:

  ~/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/magic/icons$ file swirls_circles.png ; identify swirls_circles.png
  swirls_circles.png: PNG image data, 40 x 30, 8-bit gray+alpha, non-interlaced
  swirls_circles.png PNG 40x30 40x30+0+0 8-bit Grayscale Gray 1781B 0.000u 0:00.000

Working in 0.9.3-rc1; appearing white in 0.9.35 debug:

  ~/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/magic/icons$ file clone.png ; identify clone.png 
  clone.png: PNG image data, 40 x 30, 2-bit colormap, non-interlaced
  clone.png PNG 40x30 40x30+0+0 8-bit sRGB 283B 0.000u 0:00.000


Did something about the PNG library change recently? :-/

Thanks!

Not sure when I'll have the time & energy to do this.  Burning the
candle at three ends, at the moment. :-D
