It appears that you're using the Breeze icon theme (not Breeze Dark), which means that proper icon coloring comes from plasma-integration, which appears to not be available, as I can see from the screenshot that it's not using the Breeze application style either. This is caused by a local misconfiguration on your computer. Very likely what happened is that you have qt5ct installed (remove it) or have something else overriding QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to something other than what plasma-integration sets it to.

I don't have any of the packages installed here. Would it be appropriate to continue this discussion here or should I go to the KDE forums, or the distribution(archlinux)'s forum, since it seems to be a downstream thing?
discuss.kde.org or the Arch forum would either make sense to me! |
