I think both of us missed this part at the bottom of @broulik's description: > This way you designers can now create dedicated 2x SVGs for those usecases, ie. we can have a 16px icon as well as a 16px@2x icon rather than it just taking the 32px icon which might not fit. In case a 16px@2x icon is not present it will load the 32px icon instead as it did before. This way one could even create a high dpi Oxygen theme. So #Breeze <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/breeze/> will show the hi-res icons like it does now since it doesn't have any @2x folders or symlinks (an example of that can be found in Papirus <https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/tree/master/Papirus>). Moving forward, #Breeze <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/breeze/> could create these @2x folders, populating them with beautiful Hi-DPI-acceptable icons, or whatever they want, to ensure interface consistency. But for now, it would be status-quo, even with this patch committed. So no one will notice, except those of us with @2x-compatible, 3rd party icon themes right now.
