I really like the darker background for the icons, and have suggested that for D15999: Add icons with added background to system.svgz <https://phabricator.kde.org/D15999>. If we do that, we won't need either blur or shadows behind them, and the shadows can just be for text. I have no opinion regarding smaller icons within the background circle, but that would be a suggestion for D15999 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D15999>, not this patch. Regarding the clock shadow, the one in your mockup @filipf is so tight that I wonder if simply outlining the text might look better. I can reduce the size of sha current shadow and see what it looks like, and try out an outline too.
