When selecting an icon theme for KDE (System Settings -> Icons), many of the available icon themes lack icons for some mimetypes or applications. Would be nice if it could have an option to get a fallback theme, such that when the selected theme doesn't have an icon for a file that is to be displayed, it would try to use an icon from the fallback theme if available.
This is currently implicit to the theme, and not exposed in the UI. I'm not sure how much we really want to do this. What themes are you finding have the fallback theme set improperly such that you're wanting to change it?

Oxygen for example (which doesn't have nearly as many icons as, say, Papirus), and themes downloaded from kde-look, which oftentimes have only a few icons (such as the latest submitted theme with the old crystal icons for kde5).
Which theme would you like set as a fallback? IIRC these all have Breeze listed, which seems sane enough as a default.

I'd like to set Papirus as a fallback theme. And not all of them fall back to breeze: for the example CrystalSVG falls back to oxygen: https://store.kde.org/p/1253578/ Others don't even have a fallback theme. Then, even for breeze, there's some things that don't have icons.
Thanks. Given the diversity of how 3rd-party themes can come set up out of the box, this doesn't seem totally unreasonable.
