KMail with monochromatic icon with unread emails
SUMMARY
Several apps, such as KMail or Konversation, use the colorful icons in the
system tray when there are no new emails or notifications, but they change to
the monochromatic version when they change status.
I hope this is not intentional and it's a regression form KF5 -> KF6, because
it looks super weird to have icons change style depending on the status. Also,
if that's on purpose, I think it should be the other way around, since the
color version brings more attention to the user than the monochromatic one.
I attach two screenshots where you can see "this bug" affecting the KMail icon.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a screenshot with Konversation in the other
status, but I guess it's easy to reproduce.
By the way, I can observe the issue both with Qt 6.6 and Qt 6.7.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KMail
2. Mark any email as unread
OBSERVED RESULT
Switch between colorful and monochromatic icons
EXPECTED RESULT
Monochromatic icons should always be used in the system tray
