This path is outside of the AppImage, and hence, the application cannot access the icons at that location. The application should be changed so that it loads icons from a location relative to itself, so that if the application resides e.g., at `/tmp/foo/usr/bin/app`, then the icons get loaded from `/tmp/foo/usr/share/icons/...`
