I can see what the problem might be, but what’s interesting is that it doesn’t cause any error for me. The icon it’s looking for is called flowtop_compright.png in the actual folder - so I’m guessing it’s because it’s looking for it with capital letters and therefore not finding it.

If you navigate to this location:
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/psychopy/app/Resources/light
and change the filename to match what’s in the error (FlowTop_CompRight), does it fix the problem? If so I’ll just rename the files for each theme in the repo and that should solve it for other pip users!

Thank you! I made it !

I encountered this same problem. Capitalizing the names of the files fixed the problem. Given that his has happened at least twice, should an issue be submitted on GitHub?

Edit:

The issue is fixed on GitHub since this commit: BF Case Sensitivity on Linux · psychopy/psychopy@b52ba31 · GitHub
but that was 10 days after the most recent release. It will be included in 2021.2.0 in a few weeks time

Much appreciated. Thanks for the update!
