In kmail 5.0.3 with plasma 5.4.3 and breeze dark as icons' theme, the try icon notifying new mails uses an oxygen version instead of breeze. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable new mails try icon in kmail settings 2. Set breeze as icons' theme 3. "wait" for incoming mails... Actual Results: oxygen variant is used for "new mails" icon http://i.imgur.com/Y8SD1D7.png Expected Results: breeze variant should be used http://i.imgur.com/h6kmx6c.png
I uploaded the wrong icon in OP. This should be the icon to use: http://i.imgur.com/mDXIB7w.png
Created attachment 95698 [details] kmail with breeze tray icon I partially solved the issue copying mail-mark-unread-new.svg in mail-unread-new.svg Though text is barely readable...

I know this will sound very annoying, but is it possible to find an alternative to this icon? The icon is used in dark themes, which means it will have a dark background. However, with the overlay of the number of new emails, you have a number being overlayed over a dark background on top of the white envelope. I have tried all View-link colours I could think of, but no combination makes the number of new emails particularly readable. I have two suggestions for this: 1) Either leave the centre of the envelope "empty", so that the numbers are overlayed over just the dark background, and light-coloured links are visible or 2) Make the icon solid and light-coloured (as was the oxygen icon), so that at least dark coloured links are visible. Hope this helps.
