SUMMARY When laptop is offline both wifi status and weather widget are showing crossed wifi icon. This is misleading because for the ones who want to connect to wifi and click on weather widget instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a laptop 2. Have System Tray widget with Weather widget 3. Turn off wifi OBSERVED RESULT Both System Tray and Weather have it EXPECTED RESULT Only System Tray should have distinct wifi disconnected icon so that one can easily click it to configure SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The icon used in the weather widget is "network-disconnect" which doesn't look like a wifi icon, at least with the Breeze icon theme. Can you attach a screenshot of how they both look on your panel when this happens? Are you using a 3rd-party icon theme?

I do see where you're coming from with this. I indeed use custom icons theme: YAMIS <https://bitbucket.org/dirn-typo/yet-another-monochrome-icon-set/src/main/>. In breeze there is a phone plug or something. Still using the same visual metaphore as network widget. But I still would argue that it's better for the Weather widget to use icons different from other generic system icons which will inevitably be shown side by side. Tray widgets don't have the benefit of having their own context and clearly visible borders of such context as apps do. In the tray they are in the same context and borders, thus operating in the same "status" plane.
