Plasma 6 applets use system icons so missing many icons for applet

• Distribution (version): Arch Linux
• Desktop environment: KDE
• Installing method: Arch Linux Repo

Plasma 6 changed the icon name so it use the wrong icon folder-blue-network for the Bluetooth applet.

i think a lot more icons need to be renamed because everything on widgets and panels now uses system icons. keyboard layout icon is wrong, clipboard icon is wrong when i tested it on KDE Neon Unstable (with 2022 version of Papirus from Ubuntu LTS repo).

Maybe some icons need to be re-drawn. e.g. I can't find the symbolic version of configure media-skip-forward media-skip-backward and more.

Ok, I can follow this issue to get all the icons we need to be renamed and re-drawn. I will post it here when I finish it.

For backward, do we need to keep the older one? If we need, should we symlink older one to newer, or newer one to older?

[CoelacanthusHex]

Symlink (existing icon -> symlink name):

• bluetooth-paired -> network-bluetooth-activated
• bluetooth-disabled -> network-bluetooth-inactive
• bluetooth-active -> network-bluetooth; network-wireless-bluetooth
• smartphoneconnected -> kdeconnect-tray
• network-wired-offline -> network-wired-unavailable; network-wired-disconnected;
• network-wired-secure -> network-wired-activated-locked
• network-wireless-offline -> network-wireless-off
• network-wireless-signal-excellent -> network-wireless; network-wireless-on
• airplane-mode -> network-flightmode-on

Make new icons:

• network-wired-available (an ethernet port with a plus?)
• network-wired-activated-limited (bright, with a warning)
• network-limited (transparent, with a warning)
• network-flightmode-off (transparent plane with a cross)
• network-wireless-00-limited
• network-wireless-20-limited
• network-wireless-40-limited
• network-wireless-60-limited
• network-wireless-80-limited
• network-wireless-100-limited (just add a warning to wifi strength icons)
• audio-volume-high-danger
• audio-volume-high-warning (Plasma 6 applets use system icons so missing many icons for applet #3595 (comment))

Add symlink for -symbolic:

Rename from non -symbolic in small size (https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/commit/a205857f94906a3a0680cbec87c3d83206b363ef):

We leak some weather icon compare to breeze (https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/commit/b6642d281e7ee3e8fd9233bfc808c97c34b199cf)

I'm shocked that KDE starts using -symbolic icons for panel, instead of icons with KDE Color Scheme support. Looks like the beginning of chaos.

@SmartFinn

instead of icons with KDE Color Scheme support.

does that mean accent-coloured dots inside panel icons wouldn't work in Plasma 6 then?

I've not seen yet. I see they have mixed icons that do one job, but in different way.

[morganist]

In Breeze
audio-volume-high-warning:

audio-volume-high-danger:

[SmartFinn]

We can use audio-volume-overamplified-symbolic.svg icon with class="warning" and class="error" on the waves.

[morganist]

class="warning" and class="error"

Oh, i forgot about classes in panel icons. That's cool!

[SmartFinn]

Duplicate the #3606 (comment) here:

The Plasma 6 uses 22px symbolic icons instead of 16px. Papirus icon theme currently doesn't support it. Of course, we can add it symlinks into panel directory, but it not actually the symbolic icons. The symbolic icons use another classes for coloring warning, error, success. See Monochrome icons in our wiki.

The icons for the power actions (shutdown, restart, logout and sleep) are also showing a blank white icon in the confirmation screen on Plasma 6 Beta 1. They show correctly in the application launcher.

@SmartFinn accent colour from kde colour scheme works fine with existing icons!

That has been fixed by KDE. Non monochrome icons now show up correctly on the lockscreen. However, I personally would prefer monochrome/symbolic icons for both the application launcher and lockscreen, but maybe that's just me.

@CoelacanthusHex From now on, I'll be updating your #3595 (comment) as a to-do list to catch up with Breeze icons I've found... a bunch more.
