alex-l added a comment. @ngraham logo vs icon discussion is a very minor issue (though I would be happy to see if Ken Vermette, Uri Herrera and others who contributed to Breeze Icons for apps agree or disagree with me), instead I want Breeze Icons to be treated like any other component like

T10243: Some KDE applications could use better icons

alex-l added a comment. Activities don't add much on Virtual Desktops? It's litterally the only feature for me to use Plasma and don't consider any other DE, the reason I still use X11 despite it's insecure (Activities actually don't work on Wayland). Activities boosts productivity much

T10243: Some KDE applications could use better icons

alex-l added a comment. Thank you for your replies. As I said I discussed a new icon for Activities time ago but Ivan decided to stay with the 3-dots one. I can't always be around to check that previous decisions are overwritten by others. Isn't up to others to check if there were previous

T10243: Some KDE applications could use better icons

alex-l added a comment. To be honest I don't like the new icons. In general Uri with the original Breeze and Ken with its revamped version set original styles with their consistency. They are for me real visual designers. Instead now I see new icons added with lower quality, mixing

alex-l added a comment. @ngraham I don't know about macOS, but ElementaryOS icons look so good because they are designed for each size and I don't think we have the manpower to do that to Breeze icons. The diagonal thing in Konsole icon is to add some identity, without it we would have

T10243: Some KDE applications could use better icons

alex-l added a comment. Hey there, Gwenview, Kate and Kwrite icons are by me. I'm here just to point out that those are icons i.e. UI elements. They must be simple and descriptive of what the app does. Instead if it's a matter of identity what you need is a logo and other artworks.
