Can you please show a reproducible recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", that exhibits the problem you are describing? I don't think I understand what exactly doesn't work in your case. Also, please use "M-x report-emacs-bug" to post the details, as that command collects important details about the Emacs build configuration that make investigation easier. Thanks.

It only works with B/W pbm files and only if located in /usr/share/emacs/27.1/etc/images and only if there isn't an xpm file with the same base name. i.e. name.pbm works but not if there is a name.xpm in the directory. If these conditions are not met nothing is displayed. This does not seem to be baked into Emacs 27.1 because these restrictions don't exist in Windows Emacs 27.1. They are also not inherent in Linux because they don't exist in Linux Emacs 26.1. There are two serious problems with these seemingly unnecessary changes. B/W icons reduce not just the aesthetic quality but also subtle visual clues that help an icon convey its meaning. Accepting only icons in the version-numbered installation directory means that custom icons are wiped out by upgrading Emacs. The installer program I provide with my Emacs library stores its (xpm) icons in ~/icons (a directory created by my installer). My library accesses these by e.g. (tool-bar-add-item "~/icons/lxa-pin" Linux Emacs 27.1 is the only version in which this does not work. To test whether it does not like that the directory is relatively insecure, I tried moving my icons to /usr/local but they were still ignored. In all other versions, adding the xpm extension to the reference causes it to fail but I tested this anyway and it accomplished nothing.
