KDE Applications & Icons
cullmann.io
In this rather lengthy post I talk a bit about the current issues with icons for the KDE applications I work on or use. Let’s start with looking at what I mean with KDE applications and what the current state is, up to KDE Frameworks 6.

KDE applications have some issues with their icons outside of Plasma. This post shows the current state and what can be done to improve it.

    Sorry: too long to read (and… am I supposed to see the icons in full-desktop screenshots?), so this might be off the mark or a repetition of something that’s in the article.

    Anyway… Gnome’s Adwaita icon-set has recently broken compatibility with freedesktop.org icon theme spec, so non-gnome apps might look like crap with Adwaita.

    This is nice to see that Breeze on KDE apps will be default on any desktop (if there is no Qt platform forcing a theme).

    I always had issues with Qt theming being too global, so forcing Breeze on only KDE apps was not easy at all (and even more difficult with color-scheme).

    Really, thank you.
