SUMMARY
The expand icon (the ">" button to open the system tray applet) is blurred and ugly. All other icons are sharp and good-looking instead. the same icon seen in cuttlefish (KDE icon explorer) is not blurred, as can be seen from the screenshot attached

Are you using any screen scaling?

Does the icon stop being blurry if you move the mouse pointer over it?

If you find the file ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache on disk, and then move it somewhere else, and then reboot, is the issue fixed now? If so, please attach the file here.

I'm not using any screen scaling. the icon stays the same even hovering it with the cursor and removing the file ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache and rebooting

Can you try again with Ksvg 6.3.1 which was just released today, and should be trickling into distro repos soon?

Did you ever use scaling in the past in this user account?

Does it reproduce in a new clean user account on the same machine?

Sorry for late reply. Today after an update I noticed the problem is gone! now it's beautiful and sharp as other icons

Cool. Sounds like maybe a cache issue, or a real problem somewhere that got fixed.
