Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Apply Breeze theme. 2.Open Amarok 3.Try to rate a song Actual Results: Stars stay black Expected Results: Expect yellow stars showing when clicking on them Just noticed this when upgrading to Plasma desktop on Arch, and installed breeze theme with it.

Amarok is a KDE4 application, so it's not fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 346625 ***
kdelibs is still getting releases, Christoph is it worth backporting your change?
The change apparently does not work :/
Sorry, I maybe should not have marked this as duplicate. Let me explain. The problem for the Breeze icon theme is that the rating icon was monochrome black (Icon Grey technically). This was reported earlier against Breeze in bug 339863. During that bug review it was decided to re-assign it to KRatingPainter and Christopher Feck attempted to update KRatingPainter to improve how it handles monochrome low-saturation icons. Unfortunately, despite Christopher's effort, it somehow didn't work out. So the Breeze icon theme was updated to use a yellow icon, which is similar to oxygen and so should work similar to Oxygen. So while the problem is technically RESOLVED-FIXED for Breeze, KRatingPainter might still have a little trouble with monochrome low-saturation icons until we figure out why Christopher's patch didn't seem to work. I'll change this to fixed for Breeze here. Hrvoje Senjan has already re-opened the KRatingPainter bug 339863. If that bug gets resolved then we can update the icon theme to take advantage of the fix to provide an even more distinct full vs empty rating star icon. Hope this helps.
