Description doncbugs 2022-10-02 22:34:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
The highlight asset used to indicate focus for things like the Application Menu or clock is drawn on top of the icon. For the Breeze theme, which is only an opaque line at the top, this has a negligible effect. In the case of a full-frame opaque highlight, this would mean that the icon is no longer visible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and apply a theme with a full-frame highlight asset (I used Willow Light)
2. Click the Kickoff icon in the panel to open it (clock and show desktop are also options)
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The highlight asset is drawn over the icon. Since it is white, the icon slightly fades out.

EXPECTED RESULT
Like the task manager, the highlight should be drawn underneath. 

Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 5.15.0-48-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be nice to have this functionality through theme control. A glassy overlay for the Application Menu icon when clicked would look rather nice. Same for the task manager.
