Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2017-02-10 21:44:55 UTC 
The overlays in FolderView (select, deselect, "open cascading folder popup") are just circles and not easily recognized as such (user testing showed).

They are also inconsistent with Dolphin which uses plus/minus icons for that. This icons in action-overlays.svgz in "widgets" of Plasma's Breeze theme should be changed to more recognizable ones.
Comment 1 Andres Betts 2017-02-10 21:46:34 UTC 
Kai, do you have some images to show this behavior?

[Breeze Plasma Theme] Improve action-overlay icons

The current ones aren't really descriptive and vastly different from what Dolphin uses.
