I fully understand that widget icons should always be monochrome/symbolic in
the panel irrespective of panel thickness.

I think maybe a better solution could be achieved - if possible - if this can
be made conditional - i.e. if it is a dock and not a panel, then a colorful
icon from the current icon theme should be used instead like the app launchers
in that dock (for instance, as I use Latte Dock in Unity layout, I can see that
I have a top "panel" and a left "dock"; and some users may have a Mac-style
bottom dock as well).

So maybe you can consider this as a feature request for further improvement of
the excellent looks and appearance of KDE.

Thank you very much for the tip.
