Description Roke Julian Lockhart Beedell 2022-01-13 23:44:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
"http://invent.kde.org/frameworks/krunner" is not adherent to systemic replacement of pictography by textual representation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have utilised "Configure Icons and Toolbars" within "kcm_style" for replacement of pictographic representation of functionality by textual representation of functionality.
2. Have invoked "http://invent.kde.org/frameworks/krunner".

OBSERVED RESULT
Presence of solely pictographic representation of functionality.

EXPECTED RESULT
Presence of solely textual representation of functionality.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

By my understanding, this setting was intended for the KXMLGUI toolbars and thus apps like Kate or KMail.

TBH I am not sure if changes to the toolbars should have effects on KRunner, personally I'd say no. Also, the buttons in KRunner have unlike the toolbar-buttons no text at all (except the tooltips).

Does this make sense to you?
Comment 3 Alexander Lohnau 2022-12-18 16:52:46 UTC 
As discussed in VDG, this can be closed.

Apologies for the strangely phrased report. I was a little worse at phrasing such things in 2022.

(In reply to Alexander Lohnau from comment #3)

Do you have a link to that discussion? I am under the impression that this should be unified.

This matters to me:
