I was wondering what that red icon in Network Manager was, it turns out it's the "airplane mode".

It used to be a plane, please make it a plane-like again, which is a familiar metaphor for this action.

The current icon looks like a compass arrow/needle (like eg. in android google maps) and it looks like that enables/disables gps or something (especially with those beams going up), which makes the meaning of that action not at all clear.

Is there any way to reset the assignee for this and all breeze artwork to visual-design@kde.org? The breeze icon theme is really the work of the VDG, and with my VDG contributions currently on an indefinite pause, I'm unable to help with this bug.

Sure, I'll change it.

Thanks for all your work!

I've changed it, I don't know how to reference bugs like I do in GitHub though.
