SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5/5.17.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.14.0 The way plasma works is that for widget icons, first it looks for an icon in the Plasma theme, then if it doesn't find one, it looks for an icon in the general icon theme. We added an icon for this widget to the Breeze Plasma theme recently to prevent the icon from switching between monochrome and colorful styles depending on the panel height, which was a common complaint. However this of course results in the icon from the icon theme not being used, unless you using a different Plasma theme that doesn't have this icon in it. On one hand, you could say that it's more consistent for the monochrome icon to be shown *everywhere*, but I do see that this actually makes it less consistent in the Widget explorer. Maybe we should add a more branding-friendly icon so that will be displayed in the widget explorer. Ideally we would not have any icons in the Plasma theme and always use icons from the icon theme. However Because the Breeze icon theme uses both monochrome and colorful versions of the same icon depending on size, if we did this, we would have no way to override which version is displayed in cases where it looks ugly. As for this bug report, if we removed the icon from the Plasma theme, then it would revert to being colorful at larger sizes and people would complain again. So I don't think we can do that for the time being, sorry. Thank you, this make sense but I have a favour to ask of you - please tell me how to change it for me manually for it's not suitable for my desktop. I'll be very gratefull. I replaced the icons from Breeze theme but it doesn't change nothing. Just tell me which icon to replace. Thank you :) Btw, I advertize KDE Plasma on every suitable moment on my site. Look for yourself :) https://software.kaminata.net/it-novini/izleze-plasma-5-18-lts-beta/ https://software.kaminata.net/it-novini/kde-plasma-idva-s-podobrena-barzina-oshte-poveche-funktsii-i-popravki/ https://software.kaminata.net/it-novini/tazi-sedmitsa-pri-kde-plasma-sledpraznichni-podaratsi/ https://software.kaminata.net/it-novini/kde-plasma-vi-dava-koledni-podaratsi/ And so on: https://software.kaminata.net/?s=plasma I'm a KDE emissary :) open user.svg in the desktop theme and delete the monochrome desktop icons. Thank you for helping :) I'm not familiar with .svg format. It consists from multiple images or? Where I have to search - /usr/share/icons/breeze/? SVG is like HTML in that it's an XML based document format, but it's used for vector graphics. SVGs can contain multiple images or images outside of the canvas area (the part that you see in the file thumbnail). You can open SVGs with SVG editors like Inkscape or text editors. The file is located at /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/icons/user.svgz. An SVGZ is a compressed SVG, but Inkscape and Kate should have no problem opening it. Yes, yes, yes, it works!!! Thank you man! Best regards!!! |
