--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The way plasma works is that for widget icons, first it looks for an icon in
the Plasma theme, then if it doesn't find one, it looks for an icon in the
general icon theme.
We added an icon for this widget to the Breeze Plasma theme recently to prevent
the icon from switching between monochrome and colorful styles depending on the
panel height, which was a common complaint.
However this of course results in the icon from the icon theme not being used,
unless you using a different Plasma theme that doesn't have this icon in it.
On one hand, you could say that it's more consistent for the monochrome icon to
be shown *everywhere*, but I do see that this actually makes it less consistent
in the Widget explorer. Maybe we should add a more branding-friendly icon so
that will be displayed in the widget explorer.
Ideally we would not have any icons in the Plasma theme and always use icons
from the icon theme. However Because the Breeze icon theme uses both monochrome
and colorful versions of the same icon depending on size, if we did this, we
would have no way to override which version is displayed in cases where it
looks ugly.
As for this bug report, if we removed the icon from the Plasma theme, then it
would revert to being colorful at larger sizes and people would complain again.
So I don't think we can do that for the time being, sorry.
