2. Place it in Favorites, desktop, open kmenuedit for it and the icon selector

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2026-01-12 19:55:49 UTC
This is unfortunately an issue in the Qt SVG renderer: https://qt-project.atlassian.net//browse/QTBUG-118854

The place where it looks good is the icon selector dialog where I believe we use a custom KDE-specific renderer. Unfortunately for technical reasons, this can't be easily generalized to be used everywhere.

Rather, the Qt issue needs to be fixed, and then we can *drop* the custom SVG renderer in the icon dialog.
