Evolution toolbar screenshot

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When running Evolution under KDE the toolbar icons for "Mark for deletion" and
"Mark as Junk" are very similar and easily confused. This causes a noticeable
cognitive pause every time I use them and is very irritating.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Run Evolution 2.30 under KDE 4.4.4 with Fedora 13



The icons in question seem to be part of the Oxygen theme but though I've tried changing themes nothing seems to make any difference. I've also tried playing with the "GTK+ Appearance" widget under KDE's System Settings, to no effect. There doesn't appear to any way of changing this. Running under Gnome, Evo uses the default GTK theme which looks fine.

I think the correct product for this bug report should be "Oxygen" and the component should be "icons".

There are really two issues here:
1) The poor design of these Oxygen icons
2) The difficulty of changing the theme for Evolution (possibly any GTK app)

I'll open a new report on number 1 against Oxygen, but number 2 is a more general problem.

Thanks for taking to time to file a report Peter. If the intent is to leave this bug report open then the component selected, "kcm-desktopthemedetails", should be changed.  That module does not relate to either issue.

If I recall correctly, I don't think the GTK+ appearance module is part of KDE SC. It may be included downstream as part of the distribution release, in which case the GTK+ issue would be a downstream issue.

I reported the icon issue against Oxygen as you suggested (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242539). I'll report the general theme problem on the Fedora Bugzilla.

I don't understand. What do you mean redo? Resubmit the report? Add information? Submit it somewhere else? Please explain.

I believe Nuno means: 
I need to redo the icon. This is a valid bug.
Comment 10 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2010-06-23 07:34:30 UTC
PS: the exact same issue happens in kmail 
(which is a good thing: it proves consistency of the iconset accross applications :))

OK, I'll check it out when my distro updates it, thanks.
