We recently added plasma themed presence icons for the plasmoid itself. This patch now adds those same plasma icons into the presence menu of the plasmoid, making this one looking different from the contact list one. Also, all other plasmoids use oxygen icons in their menus, so I'm inclined to keep the oxygen icons.

Wouldn't monochromatic versions of the Oxygen icons work as well? The only problem I see is that online and invisible are currently only distinguishable by color (maybe we can ask nuno to come up with a different icon for invisible).

Good point. Thing is these icons are defined by Plasma theme. So if you change to a theme with these icons, there's not a lot we can do. Making the oxygen monochrome is actually very good idea. However let's consider these icons can be absolutely anything ;)

However, the menu items for statuses are still all Oxygen, so the user experience is inconsistent -- if the user clicks on an icon for status, they won't get that icon on the toolbar. The attached diff, if applied to the master, will make it so that those menu items are also Plasma-themed.
