The notepad application example runs without problems on my Raspberry Pi. But the menu bar shows no icons. just blank rectangles. They do work if I click on them. What could be the problem?

Open the file notepad.py and go after this:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
add the following lines:
icon = QIcon(os.path.join('images', 'blue-flolder-open-document.png'))
print("availableSizes:", icon.availableSizes())
the output on the terminal should be:
availableSizes: [PyQt5.QtCore.QSize(16, 16)]
if it is different, for example:
