Screenshot of Dolphin 25.03.70 (git) with offset icons

SUMMARY

Since the overlay icons were refactored (previously causing regressions like
BUG 497372 and BUG 498211). Visually, there is still a regression with the
placement of overlay icons being positioned away from the icon instead of
actually being overlaid. This looks unusual coming from other file managers /
OS and presents a jarring feeling scanning a folder with icon states (e.g. read
only, symlinks, VCS status)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Browse to a folder containing overlay icons (symlinks, or root filesystem)
2. Observe icons under an Icon view mode.

OBSERVED RESULT
Overlay icons are offset to the side.

EXPECTED RESULT
Overlay icons actually overlaid on top of an icon.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Arch Linux
KDE Plasma: 6.3.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The change was introduced in
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/889, which had passed
one approval of this change. I appreciate the fact it might have been a
challenge to get it right with varying icon sizes.

As a workaround, stick with Dolphin 24.08.3 before the overlays started
changing.
