We have a `wine-symbolic` icon in the Breeze theme that you can manually set it to using KMenuEdit. In Plasma 56.2 this wasn't required since we forcibly added "-symbolic" to the end of the icon name that was configured there. But in Plasma 6.3, we simply honor the icon name in KMenuEdit, so if it's colorful and you want it to be symbolic, that's now up to you. ...Or you can submit an issue or merge request upstream in WINE itself that changes the icon they specify for their menu file to be `wine-symbolic`. Since some other desktop environments use colorful category icons, it seems sensible to me that these would request the icon `wine`, while KDE would return to requesting `wine-symbolic`, falling back to the non-symbolic icon if necessary for other categories. > while KDE would return to requesting `wine-symbolic`
This is what we did in Plasma 6.2. It didn't go over well, because there was no way to disable the behavior for those who didn't like it. This is why, for Plasma 6.3, we returned to respecting the icon names specified in the menu files, and then we simply changed the default icon names in the menu files we ship to end with "-symbolic".
The downside is that this doesn't affect any menu files shipped by 3rd-parties, and WINE is one such example.
Unfortunately there is no perfect solution here; only trade-offs.
