KDE Plasma System Tray Widget Icons don't match icon theme

The icons used by the System Tray widget, both for the panel and the status and notification drop down don't use the system icons that come with the dragonised KDE version of Garuda. Some of the icons seem to match up in other windows such as the settings.

I was wondering if this was expected behaviour and a limitation of Plasma? Or is there something I can do to fix it.

It is expected behavior as the systray icons are not the same as those used in System Settings, I mean it’s not the same folder location for both types of icons.

The System Settings icons are used off the Beautyline icon set, but the ones in the systray are usually coming from the Plasma Desktop Theme, in our case it’s the Sweet theme, which you can find the systray icon set here /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Sweet/icons/.

EDIT: Sorry, it’s using the icons set in /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Dr460nized/icons/ but it’s a direct copy of the one from /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Sweet/icons/, so in the end it’s the same thing. :smiley:

I did a very very very quick test of how it'd look like with Beautyline icons instead of Sweet.

This is the LOGOUT screen:

And this is the systray. I have not moved all icons to the systray, just a few.

You gave me an idea for future Theme tests, thank you. :slight_smile:
