systray icon of nextcloud has a bad visibility

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. see screenshot comparison of linux / windows

EXPECTED RESULT
the status should be easily recognizable. The cloud symbol is so huge compared to the way more important status representation (ok/disconnected/...)

Please report to NextCloud, we show the icon they give us.

HI David. 
This is not true, i think.
When i change to another KDE theme the Nextcloud icon also changes.
In fact, i can find the Nextcloud icon in /usr/share/icons/breeze/, something related to state-ok.svg
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-10-13 19:13:54 UTC
It appears the app is asking for the "state-ok" icon. The Breeze icon theme has that, so it provides it. From that perspective, everything appears to be working as expected.

The only thing I could see being a problem here is that the state-ok icon assumes its context and displays a cloud, instead of being a generic OK icon. Looking at the rest of the state-* icons, it's clear they were drawn with clouds for a reason, to be a cohesive set. To change one, we would have to change them all.

So I could see us potentially genericizing these… But that would start to make them infringe on what the emblem-* icons do. Thus, I don't think changing these icons would be a good idea.

I also don't really see the problem here. In your screenshot from Windows, the green checkmark is bigger, but it's not clear what it's actually about. In your Plasma screenshot, you see a smaller green checkbox, but the cloud symbol provides a bit of context regarding what exactly is OK.

We're not trying to clone Windows here; it's okay if the final UX is a bit different.
