--- Comment #3 from Jarosław Staniek <stan...@kde.org> ---
That's another discussion, I offered a space for contributions. The project
does not support theming in version 3.0.

The .rcc resources is official approach supported for Qt apps, truly cross
platform (eventually it works on Windows and Mac without "simulating" Linux
environment) and Kexi is more a Qt app since version 3 than it was before. We
have no KDE apps anymore as we say from time to time as well.

I also believe the summary of this report is a bit misleading because Kexi does
not duplicate anything, it uses official option for graphical resources. It
also adds very own files in its private resource file and uses that in an
official way via the icon loader.

"I do not see the link between only breeze being supported and the rcc file.
You can coerce a specific icon theme inside the application by telling
KIconLoader/QIcon which theme you want."

The rcc file allowed the control and it's a consistent approach to other
platforms so the effort is smaller. Also 3 kexi-derived libraries in separate
repos (kdb, kreport, kproperty) all use or will ultimately use the same approch
to avoid requiring 2*5100+ extra files at runtime by a 200KiB lib.

We need a linux-only patch and a whole testing effort before it's safe to
believe that things you mention work 100% works on Linux environments, not only
on Plasma 5. *Without* integration plugins. I think you agree that the
inconvenience you're reporting, while I see it as valid, is of lesser
importance than having actually running and usable app with icons as designed.

Thanks for understanding.
