applications-education The icon for the "Education" sub-menu of the Programs menu. applications-development [Rename "Programming" to "Development".] applications-other -> applications The icon for applications category. preferences-other -> settings The icon for a generic settings category. preferences-desktop -> settings-desktop The icon for the "Desktop" settings category. preferences-system -> settings-system The icon for the "System Administration" settings category. preferences-desktop-peripherals -> settings-peripherals The icon for the "Peripherals" settings category. preferences-desktop-personal -> settings-personal The icon for the "Personal" settings category. preferences-system-network -> settings-network The icon for the "Network" settings category.
Rationale for the renames:
"preferences" to "settings": not because KDE uses settings, but because the icon naming spec then stays consistent with the fd.o menu spec, see [[1]].
"other" implies that the icon should be a generic one, and indeed applications-other and preferences-other make for a good fallback if there are categories not covered by a given theme. Also, at least KDE has no "other preferences" category, but rather a separate system settings application and a menu (with icon), both using one general settings icon for the whole set of sub-elements.
The preferences-desktop-* ones are very implementation specific, as it's not specified anywhere that the "peripherals" and "personal" settings need to be a child element of the desktop settings. Likewise, "network" settings don't necessarily reside in the preferences-system category in certain desktops.
