Description Giuseppe Calà 2015-11-23 14:06:50 UTC

In kmail 5.0.3 with plasma 5.4.3 and breeze dark as icons' theme, the try icon notifying new mails uses an oxygen version instead of breeze.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable new mails try icon in kmail settings
2. Set breeze as icons' theme
3. "wait" for incoming mails...

Actual Results:  
oxygen variant is used for "new mails" icon

I uploaded the wrong icon in OP. This should be the icon to use:

Created attachment 95698 [details]
kmail  with breeze tray icon

I partially solved the issue copying mail-mark-unread-new.svg in mail-unread-new.svg

Though text is barely readable...

I know this will sound very annoying, but is it possible to find an alternative to this icon?

The icon is used in dark themes, which means it will have a dark background. However, with the overlay of the number of new emails, you have a number being overlayed over a dark background on top of the white envelope. I have tried all View-link colours I could think of, but no combination makes the number of new emails particularly readable.

I have two suggestions for this:

1) Either leave the centre of the envelope "empty", so that the numbers are overlayed over just the dark background, and light-coloured links are visible or
2) Make the icon solid and light-coloured (as was the oxygen icon), so that at least dark coloured links are visible. 

Hope this helps.
