Attachments: My home folder in Dolphin with Breeze

Description skierpage 2016-09-04 02:26:43 UTC 
In Dolphin using the Breeze default Plasma 5 theme, I stumbled over my ~/Documents folder. I realized the reason I scan past it is in Details view (and Compact view), its icon is that of a plain document. In Icons views  your Documents folder is an emblem on top of a folder, but in the Compact and Details you only see the emblem. This works for other special folders such as Home, Music, and Pictures because their emblems look distinctive, but not so well for Documents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your theme to Breeze
2. Start Dolphin
3. Navigate to ~ (your home directory)
4. Set View > View Mode to Details or Compact

Actual Results:  
The Documents folder icon looks the same as a regular unrecognized file's icon (foo.bar, foo.doc, etc.)

Expected Results:  
Maybe add an outline ( ⌟ ) to indicate a stack of documents.

The icon for your Documents folder is actually slightly different than a plain foo.bar file, the document has a darker outline. But it's too subtle.

Fedora F24 KDE spin (with the package breeze-icon-theme 5.25.0.1) has the same behavior.

FWIW https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#names calls for "emblem-documents: The icon used as an emblem for the directory where a user's documents are stored."

In general Breeze looks great, thanks!

Note how Documents looks like a plain document.

Indeed. This is a problem with the icons completely changing their style (from detailed, colored to flat, monochrome) depending on the size.
Andreas is aware of the problem and plans to address it once he finds the time
