As you can see here, I have application dashboard set as the preferred alternative over application launcher. The power/session icons below favourites are pretty ugly compared to the same icons inside the appropriate category in the menu. Most probably the icons have been replaced by symbolic icons (Idk if symbolic icons exist in KDE, but I’ve experienced them in Cinnamon in the past).
When my default theme is breeze or breath2, those icons are identical. Also when I set Materia theme for the 1st time, those icons were the same. But after playing with themes for a few days (noob mistake, please don’t rant ), the current abomination of symbolic & colour icons was created.
What I have tried to fix it:
- Restart plasmashell
- Replace dashboard with launcher & again switch to dashboard
- Log out & log back in
- Use Wayland session
- Search this forum, google, ArchWiki, askubuntu and reddit on this topic
- Delete .cache folder in home directory and restart
But nothing works. Can anybody give me a working solution?
