TASK DESCRIPTION
  Many of the Breeze app icons are great, but there are a few KDE applications 
whose own Breeze icons are rather uninspired, especially compared to their 
Oxygen versions:

  The Oxygen icons exhibit inconsistency with respect to shape, perspective, 
and shadowing. But they're //beautiful, rich, and memorable//, with many 
details and an artistic look.
  
  Their modern Breeze versions are more consistently proportioned and shaded, 
but somewhat underwhelming overall, going a bit too far in the direction of 
minimalism. Many of them have lost the richness of the visual metaphors present 
in the Oxygen versions.
  
  The above-mentioned Breeze icons could use a visual overhaul to make them 
match the attractiveness of other Breeze app icons. There are maybe others too, 
but the ones I've highlighted above seem like the most glaring offenders to me.
  
  I've added as subscribers the maintainers and Phab groups for the apps 
mentioned above since they should get a say in this. :)
