            Bug ID: 401299
           Summary: Icons for executable applications inappropriately look
                    like documents
           Product: Breeze
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icons
          Assignee: visual-design at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Right now we use a document-style icon to represent executable applications,
which seems inappropriate. This is probably okay for executable *scripts*,
since they're also text files, but it seems wrong for executable
*applications.* Here are the icons that suffer from this issue:

application-x-executable
application-x-java-applet
application-x-ms-dos
application-x-macbinary

Soon enough we're going to have an icon for AppImage apps too:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D17086

Let's define a new style that says, "I'm an executable application!"
