Example pictures. Also example .desktop files for discord and whatsapp.

So with the latest KDE Neon update I can't bloody change icons anymore.

Now, firstly I would like to say that with every new updated of the breeze-dark icon theme ends up braking my icons but it's ok. I just add la-capitaine-dark (a custom version I have) to "Inherits" in the index.theme of breeze-dark.

So my current problem is that discord doesn't wanna change it's icons BUT ONLY in the application launcher (krunner is fine) and in the panels (on the desktop is fine). I cannot take screenshots of krunner or the launcher so I guess I could make a screencast.

Also my whatsapp custom icon (an ice instance) looks WAY to pixelated for some reason in the panel. The icon doesn't even show up in krunner, but it does in the application launcher. 

Also as another little thing. Waterfox wouldn't bloody change it's icon in the task-manager. Even though I changed the icon from edit applications it won't listen. After I inherited the la-capitaine-dark icons theme it finally changed that icon too.

No idea why but Discord now follows the icon I set for it o.O

WhatsApp still looks like crap tho. Also in the menu, under internet, I have waterfox profiles like so (waterfox -p Profile). I gave them icons but they show a default paper icon instead. The icon does show up if I search for the entry in krunner or in the application launcher. It doesn't show up only if I go to the internet section for some reason. Same happened with TOR. Also an instance of gmail using ICE. But whatsapp (also ice) appears so I am really confused.

issue recreation

I was able to recreate some problematic scenario.

If you modify some menu entry in kmenuedit (which wasn't modified before) then a .desktop file is created in $HOME/.local..., so it's possible to change it later through kmenuedit or app launcher--> edit app. All changes are visible in app launcher and krunner then.

But, if you try to edit some menu entry in App launcher--> edit app, then just a symlink to /usr/.../...desktop is created in $home/.local/ so it can't be modified from anywhere then (kmenuedit saves changes without warning, but nothing really happens).
The only way to fix that is to remove symlink from .local/share/applications and modify it in kmenuedit first.

The files from /home/raitaro/.local/share/plasma_icons/

So I looked around a bit where the files in the panel are pointing too. It is /home/raitaro/.local/share/plasma_icons/

Deleting whatsapp.desktop (had no icon as a file) from there didn't make the whatsapp panel entry to disappear, a new file was created that is different from the first and I am not sure why. Now the icon is not pixelated. Keep in mind the icon it was pointing too before was set in ICE but it was still the exact same svg file. Trying to edit this in the menu wasn't working. Just deleting that file made it work.

Is this problem still reproducible in the Current Plasma LTS (5.24) or regular release (5.25). I cannot seem to reproduce that problem in the editor.
