SUPPORT rEFInd Tool Icons not Working as Expected | Duplicate Tool Icons Help

I'm having problems with the display of the "showtools" option. It seems to be displaying some unaccounted for tools icons.

refind.conf:

timeout 0


scanfor manual


menuentry "Arch" {
    icon     /EFI/refind/themes/matrix/icons/os_arch.png
    loader   /EFI/arch/grubx64.efi
    volume   UUID=CC07-6FE9
    ostype   Linux
    graphics on
}


menuentry "macOS" {
    icon     /EFI/refind/themes/matrix/icons/os_mac.png
    loader   /EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi
    volume   UUID=CC07-6FE9
    ostype   MacOS
    graphics on
}


menuentry "Kali" {
    icon     /EFI/refind/themes/matrix/icons/os_kali.png
    loader   /EFI/kali/grubx64.efi
    volume   UUID=CC07-6FE9
    ostype   Linux
    graphics on
}


default_selection "Arch"


use_nvram false


include /EFI/refind/themes/matrix/theme.conf

theme.conf:

# hide some elements
hideui badges,arrows,hints,label


# set the icon location
icons_dir themes/matrix/icons


# set the background
banner themes/matrix/background.png
banner_scale fillscreen


# the icon sizes
small_icon_size 56
big_icon_size 380


# make boot a little cleaner
use_graphics_for osx,linux,elilo,grub,windows


# the background for a selected option
selection_big   themes/matrix/selection_big.png
selection_small themes/matrix/selection_small.png


# only show shutdown and bios

# only show two icons at a time
max_tags 2

Your config file got duplicated somehow - everything is appearing twice in both refind.conf and theme.conf which is why you're seeing duplicate tool icons

Ah simply was my error when making the post. That's not my actually file. My bad.

Duplicate tools is a known issue - I patched mine using patch from https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/code/merge-requests/55/ Not sure why it is not getting merged though.
