Bug ID: 457821
Summary: Blurry or Missing icons in Plasmashell upon icon theme
change or app installation/removal.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: lemuelsimo...@protonmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
As the title reads, some icons throughout Plasma tend to be rendered blurry or
missing entirely. This tends to happen when an application is
installed/removed/updated or if the icon theme changes. Applying new accent
colors via the wallpaper sometimes trigger this too (this is also considered a
'theme change'). The only way to rectify the problem is to manually restart
plasmashell with "kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell > /dev/null 2>&1
|| kstart5 plasmashell > /dev/null 2>&1", afterwards all icons show
normally...until another application gets updated. I am using the Breeze Dark
and "Redmond Dark with Square Highlights" by Paul Mc Auley, which inherits the
Breeze Dark icons anyway. It is also reproducible with any other icon-theme
I've tried.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Plasma.
2. Change the icon theme in System Settings.
3. Open the Application Launcher (Kickoff) and find entries with missing icons
scattered around.
OBSERVED RESULT
As the title reads, some icons throughout Plasma tend to be rendered blurry or
missing entirely.
EXPECTED RESULT
All application icons show normally in Plasma's widgets and application menu
(that's a widget...)
