STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start qbittorrent
2. change tray icon theme to light/dark/default

OBSERVED RESULT
see that the icon does not change in the tray

EXPECTED RESULT
The icon to change in the tray

It used to work before i updated plasma, and still works in lxqt.
Palsma seems to prefer the theme icon now, instead of the one suggested by qbittorrent.

This workarounds the issue:
sudo mv /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48/qbittorrent.svg /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48/qbittorrent.svg.no
killall plasmashell ; rm ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache ; plasmashell
Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2022-01-11 13:35:08 UTC
Can reproduce on Arch Linux with qBittorrent 4.4 built against Qt 6.

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Comment 2 Antonio Orefice 2022-01-11 13:37:32 UTC
Yeah, i've to add that i'm still using the qt5 version of qbittorrent.
Read: it does not depend on it, but seems plasma related.

Comment 3 Konrad Materka 2022-01-12 07:58:15 UTC
For me this looks as intentional behavior. Plasma theme provides icons for third-party applications for consistency. There are icons for other apps, like TeamViewer. We had several bug reports complaining that icon is not provided :-)

It is possible that qBittorrent used IconPixmap and now uses IconName property:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/StatusNotifierItem/
Comment 4 Antonio Orefice 2022-01-12 08:41:02 UTC
Thanks Konrad,
i checked and the icon for qbittorrent was provideed since several releases from breeze-icons package, so no change in that.
also, no change in qbittorrent, because to trigger the new, intentional, behavior it is sufficient to upgrade plasma.

So if i understood properly, can you confirm that there is a way for apps to specify a custom icon for the tray, which is using org.freedesktop.StatusNotifierItem.IconPixmap instead of org.freedesktop.StatusNotifierItem.IconName, so that i can pass that information to qbittorrent developers?
Comment 5 Konrad Materka 2022-01-12 09:35:02 UTC
Now when I think about this I need to check that :) It is possible that there is a regression - qBittorent probably changes icon name to something not provided by Breeze theme, but it is no recognized by Plasma (or not re-rendered).
Comment 6 Antonio Orefice 2022-01-12 09:42:52 UTC
Indeed, i was thinking the same.
Qbittorrent used to be able to cycle across 3 icon styles, while now it is stuck to using the theme provided one.
Also, even setting a style and restart qbittorrent does not change a thing, so even the 'not re-rendered" hypotesis looses weight imho.

It is right to leave the resolved/intentional status for this bug?

Dektop file with the same problem
Comment 8 Konrad Materka 2022-01-12 12:53:36 UTC
The same problem for all *.desktop files, one example attached.

This problem is not only for System Tray - all icons have similar behavior.
Comment 9 Konrad Materka 2022-01-14 12:25:17 UTC
Changing assigned product/component, it is a general issue. Maybe even duplicate of Bug 445804

Comment 13 Adrian Insaurralde 2024-09-17 20:19:06 UTC
this is still a problem for me
Comment 14 Nate Graham 2024-09-17 20:24:02 UTC
With what version of QBitTorrent and what version of Plasma and what version of KDE Frameworks?
Comment 15 Adrian Insaurralde 2024-09-17 20:32:25 UTC
the issue for me seems to be that breeze does not provide tray icons for qbittorrent, I guess at some point in time I enabled the "use icons from system theme" option in qbittorrent, after disabling that and restarting qbittorrent the correct monochrome icon is shown.

I'm running archlinux with:
qbittorrent 4.6.6
plasma 6.1.5
frameworks 6.5.0
Comment 16 Nate Graham 2024-09-17 22:11:41 UTC
We do have icons in Breeze, but not monochrome symbolic ones, so that explains it. So this is not the same bug.
