I'm working on KPasswordDialog, in order to allow the user to show the password being typed: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124698/

As you can see from the screenshot, for now I've been using games-hint from Breeze, because I couldn't find a more relevant icon.
Do we have a proper icon for this action in Breeze? If not, do we want to create a new one? Some ideas:

- Oxygen used to have this icon, which seems gone in Breeze.
- Keepass is using dots
- Gnome's archiver is using a shield

Otherwise, if you think that games-hint is good enough for the purpose, let's just create a symlink to it, called password-hint or password-visibility or similar.

hi elvisangelaccio

the thing is that layer-visible-on and layer-visible-off is available in breeze (since 5.3) too, but it is an icon that is easy recognizable when you have layers but difficult for visible on/off. In LibreOffice I also have to change the icon because the icon was difficult to understand.

Breeze icons
- invisible https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next ... le-off.svg
- visible https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next ... ble-on.svg

LO
- invisible https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next ... aswatr.svg
- visible https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next ... dwatch.svg

Please use the same icons than in oxygen. Maybe you like the new layer icons or if you think that they don't fit, leave an change request https://phabricator.kde.org/T571

I like these ones. Can they be used outside of Libreoffice?

Which ones are you talking about?

The new layers icons don't fit. I will comment on Phabricator too.
