The KMail2 tray icon for new messages uses the old Oxygen icon. There should be a monochrome icon for the Breeze plasma theme to fit with other Tray elements like the Audio Volume indicator. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kmail 2. Enable System Tray icon 3. Get a new email on a folder that Kmail is set to act on new messages Actual Results: Oxygen tray icon appears indicating new mail Expected Results: A different, Breeze-fitting icon appears indicating new mail
Can you add a screenshot?
Created attachment 95491 [details] Shows the KMail2 icon
As fare as I know from the past this icon is hardcoded but I'm not 100% sure.
If it's not in Oxygen and it's not in the Plasma theme (Oxygen) it's likely that it's coming from the application which means that even if we add it to the icon theme it won't show up unless it's change din the application.
Created attachment 95492 [details] Shows KMail2 tray icon with Papirus icon theme It's definitely not hardcoded as you can see from the attached photo. The plasma theme is still Breeze but the icon theme is Papirus and the tray icon reflects that.
Thanks I will have a look and fix the issue asap
sorry it's not that easy to find the right icon name. you use the plasma breeze theme and the papirus icons isn't it?
That's right concerning the second attachment. Plasma theme: breeze. Icon theme: papirus. I installed the papirus icon theme for Kubuntu using the instructions on http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Papirus+icon+theme?content=169962, i.e. via the ppa.
Same issue, still on kde 5.5

Also the icon in the hover popup is incorrect, see attachment on previous comment.
Ezio, that's the right icon on hover. The task manager doesn't use the correct icon, though, which is why you might see a different icon there. The task switcher uses the right icon but it doesn't scale it properly (e.g. if you use the large icons mode). Lots of funky stuff happening with the icons for KMail2.
(In reply to Ezio Vergine from comment #10) > Created attachment 95607 [details] > Kmail hover icon Hi at this screenshot it work's correct as I don't have kmail, does it work now correct in breeze or did you need an icon?
Sorry for not having responded months ago, but the icon situation is still not ideal. When using the default Breeze icons, color scheme and desktop theme, everything works. When switching to the Breeze Dark desktop theme (keeping the icon and color scheme on default Breeze), the Breeze Light icon is used *only* when the new mail overlay is shown. This results in an unreadable black icon on a black background.
I should also mention that the icon with overlay for new messages is blurry and lighter than the other icons. Perhaps that's not preventable?
in general I'm not sure if it's "only" a breeze issue. It would be easier to solve this problem together with the kmail team.
any update cause I didn't use KMail
The bug still persists, and as I described in comment 14. I'm using breeze icons and the breeze dark desktop theme. If new mail arrives, all I see is a black area where the icon is, presumably because the icon is black. When there's no new mail, the icon is white and readable. This is on Plasma 5.9.
Confirming this with KMail 5.5.1, Arch Linux and Breeze Dark theme.
Looks like it is fixed now with latest updates installed: Name : kmail Version : 17.12.0-1
Michael, can you confirm?
Working here. Breeze dark is showing the correct icon on new mail.
Works here.
