--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Damn, I just remembered why it specified the Breeze Dark icon theme
specifically: for compatibility with third-party non-KDE apps that support icon
theming but don't support our icon recoloring machinery.

...because our icon re-coloring machinery is KDE-specific.

...because there's no standardized spec for how to do icon-recoloring, so icons
intended for KDE apps and GTK apps do re-coloring differently.

... because both KDE and GNOME are happy with their own implementations and
neither wants to move to the other one.

...because KDE considers GNOME's implementation worse and a hack (which it is)
and GNOME barely cares about this topic at all and has no interest in putting
resources into improving support for icon theming in general, so their status
quo is fine for them.

AKA "why we can't have nice things"

So we can't fix #2 and have to fix #1 and make Breeze Dark do the right thing
here.
