Created attachment 142881 [details] the same icon is used where meanings differ greatly SUMMARY Some categories in System settings use the same icon for 2 different functions. This may be due to choosing an icon based on appearance (in the Breeze icon set, specifically) rather than the meaning of an icon. Since other icon packs may have other interpretations of how an icon should look, this can produce unusual appearances with themes that are different from Breeze. E.g. in sidebarview Regional Settings and User Feedback use the same icon but have different meanings. Papirus icons, for example, uses a different appearance. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Choose a different icon theme (e.g. Papirus) 2. Observe the sidebarview 3. e.g. under Personalization where an icon is used twice OBSERVED RESULT The same icon is used, under sections of different meanings EXPECTED RESULT The same icon should be used when sections have identical meanings SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
