T10243: Some KDE applications could use better icons

[Nathaniel Graham]

  @alex-l nobody shares your opinion that app icons are different from logos and that therefore they should have a minimal, understated style and do not need to mimic the original version. This isn't a self-evident design truth, it's  just your opinion on icon design, and nobody else seems to agree with you.
  
  Breeze icons are a theme among many themes, and not the canonical source of truth regarding apps' icons; changing an icon radically requires the consent of the app's author for them to change not only the Breeze icon, but also to change the original icon, potentially adopting the Breeze icon as the new original icon.
  
  You keep decrying that no real designers are reviewing icons yet you don't want to step up and do this, other than complaining that everyone else's work is crap. You should help guide new designers rather than just telling them to stop doing anything because the status quo is perfect.
