I'm shame...
It's not close tab button, it's konsole icon.
Editing summary...

Hmm, dark icons are just always going to have visibility issues with dark themes. Breeze icon folks, would you be open to tweaking Konsole's icon to give it a subtle light-colored outline?

Git commit e1fde67a69c748b76f8210ac22f58e76b53d9717 by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Nate Graham.

Only show tab icon if the user has specifically chosen one

Summary:
This patch introduces a UI change: tabs only show an icon if it's not
the default one; that is to say, only if the user has actually customized
the icon. There are several reasons for this:
1. **Conceptual:** When only non-default profile icons show up in the tab,
  it does a better job of highlighting the fact that a non-default profile
  is being used.
2. **Aesthetic:** you no longer have the same icon in every tab by default,
  which looks bad and causes the eye to ignore it over time.
3. **Icon-specific:** the `utilities-terminal` icon doesn't look good
  against a dark background (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367696)
4. **Code hygiene:** reduces a bit of redundancy in the session controller
   code.
Related: bug 401864
FIXED-IN: 19.04.0

Test Plan:
Open multiple tabs and make one of them use a profile with a
non-default icon:
{F6502534, size=full}

Verify that bell signals still cause tabs to get icons.

The tab bar does not show the app icon anymore, but Konsole icon is still barely visible in window decoration  and task manager when breeze dark is used.
Comment 6 Manuel de la Fuente 2023-01-17 11:57:51 UTC
The Konsole icon has, since that screenshot was taken, the usual 1px highlight and shadow, and combined with the gradient change from top-down to top-left, it has overall much better contrast. Should we close this as fixed?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2023-01-17 14:27:36 UTC
I think so, yeah.

Looks okay to me, TBH. I guess we have differing definitions of "barely visible. :) I'll admit it blends in a bit. But it's a dark icon on a dark background; in such a circumstance, it's never going to have amazing contrast just because of what it is.
