Nope only Words have an updated icon yet. Well Krita has too but somehow it's 
not installed

You mean the plate they are on. Yes I don't like that at all either.

Not at all be Work is being done to fix this.

Correct, And the Words icon It's actually an old KWord icon too from before 
the current icon set. I don't think it was ever released.

Yes I've been working with Bugsbane on irc

We already have a proposal for Karbon, and currently working on Stage. We will 
work on Sheets too before finalizing Stage so it get's consistent. The original 
intention of Bugsbane and me was to keep the current Words icon, but depending 
on how the other two icons go it's certainly possible that Words will have new 
or at least modified icons too.
