Description Nate Graham 2019-01-31 17:28:03 UTC 
Right now, when an action is marked as a primary action, on the desktop its toolbar icon gains a buttonlike appearance. This is visually problematicfor the following reasons:

- When there are other actions too, they don't have a buttonlike appearance, so the toolbar buttons have an inconsistent appearance that could make some people think that the non-primary-actions aren't actually clickable buttons
- No toolbars in other KDE software look like this; it's inconsistent with the rest of our software

I recommend going back to having primary actions use the same visual style as all other toolbar buttons, and rely on their central position to denote that they're the primary action.

For custom-colored buttons, we can keep the buttonlike appearance just so there's a background that we can color.
