The sidepanel (which I guess is the mainview) gets the icon from InfoKcmModel::data from what I can tell. ::data and ::generateToolTipLine are the only places where I see ::icon get called. So what I am thinking is these changes: ::icon goes away in favor of `QString KcmTreeItem::iconName() { return m_kcm.icon() }` and `QString KcmCategoryItem::iconName() { return m_category.icon() }` and the model creates a regular unaltered QIcon QVariant InfoKcmModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const { ... case Qt::DecorationRole: return QIcon::fromTheme(item->iconName()); ... } REPOSITORY R102 KInfoCenter REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D19596 To: mart, #plasma, sitter Cc: ngraham, plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart
