Hi,

I know that we have some papercuts and I hope we can release with the release
next month an breeze plasma theme with less papercuts.

About the colors.
The thing is that we have guidelines and there is defined which icons should be
monochrome and which not. toolbar icons are monochrome because the user should
focus on the working area and not the toolbars. In addition the standard size
for the toolbars are 22px icons I include also 16px icons.

So where should we use monochrome icons in plasma. at the configuration area
for plasmoids. at the panel meybe but not for the applications (we had
monochrome icons for the applications and get a lot of bug reports cause of
that). So maybe in the system tray. In the past the system tray icons were
bigger than the application icons cause of the horizontal line above the
application.

Should we use monochrome icons in the widgets. I would say yes when the icons
are used as action icon in something like a toolbar. So in the past the
shutdown icons are monochrome and the section icon in the application starter
too why not now? Cause they are no toolbar icons. toolbars are 22px in size. in
all other sections the icons (application, device, mimetype, .... ) are colored
so why in the shoutdown section not?

Uri has his vision. Ok. But plasma has also a vision and you can read the
vision in the HIG in specific for the icon guideline. So Uri work according to
the plasma vision if you want to see Uri's vision go to the Nitrux webpage.

I hope we can close this bug and start with doing some papercut stuff.

Thanks
