I think Dolphin and Discover share the "Blue square" base design, while Settings and Konsole share the "Black square" one... I usually misclick these app icons because of this.
NOTE: I know Dolphin sticks to whatever the Accent color is set to. But the default color is that shade of blue, similar to Discover.
Would it be possible to change some of these icons? I'm not a designer nor have artistic skills to do so, unfortunately.
Some ideas:
- Maybe set Discover to be a paper bag or another shopping icon
- Settings could be a gear (wink wink)
- Global settings and System settings share the same icon unfortunately. Maybe these could be different :)
OMG, get ready to waste a bunch of time personalizing the appearance of your desktop environment. Here's a site that has lots of personalization options for KDE. You can use it to browse global themes, plasma themes, icons, cursors, and even splash screens (the loading screen when you login in). I have found that finding the theme I want via the linked site, then searching and installing it through the System Settings is the most effective and easiest method for me. As far as personal taste, I use Colorful Dark Icons.
There's also Kvantium, which you can use to further personalize the appearance, to include transparent windows! It takes a little bit of learning to get it going, but if I could figure it out, it's probably not too difficult. Basically, install the Kvantium Manager via Discover, download a Kvantium theme from the KDE Store, and then use the Kvantium Manager to install the theme.
Here's a screenshot of my main screen so you can check out what's possible. Have fun!
That looks... spectacular. Well done.
Thank you! 😁
