The help icon has already been fixed in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/commit/acc75ff7762d7de0bd6489abc821dba506c2a43b. Let's use this bug report to track fixing the Favorites icon. So there are a few problems here: * in plasma-workspace/applets/kicker/plugin/rootmodel.cpp, we use the `bookmarks` icon which is not semantically correct, as a bookmark is something different from a favorited item. * If we switched to using either of the more semantically correct `favorite` or `favorites` icon, those icons in the Breeze icon theme are also monochrome at their small sizes I see two ways we could proceed here: 1. Change the `bookmarks` icon in the Plasma theme to look like a colorful star 2. Change the icon used to `applications-favorites` and create that icon in the Breeze icon theme, ensuring there's a colorful version for both the 22px and 32px sizes. Noah and Manuel, what do you think? We'd need a colorful version of this icon. There is `folder-favorites` but that looks like a folder and doesn't quite seem appropriate. |
Created attachment 150871 [details] Monochrome icons. In order to maintain consistency, the monochrome icons of the Favorites and Help items should be replaced by colored icons.
