Hello to everybody I am new user to KDE Neon and KDE in general. I have been using Ubuntu (Unity) and Ubuntu Gnome and I want to say that KDE desktop looks absolutely beautiful. I enjoy every minute using KDE. However, I have encounter some issues with the themes.
I have changed to breeze dark theme with icons and for some reasons the icons in the launcher at the bottom doesn't change. Doesn't matter what I tried it stay just the same. This started when I was exploring the system I went to Application Launcher Settings then under appearance I press 'Icon' but I didn't actually changed it but all the icons at the bottom of the launcher changed and it is unchangeable.

I'm talking about these icons:


Any help is appreciated thank you.

Hi,
You updated your system via Konsole?

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt upgrade or dist-upgrade

?

I did update with the konsole but only with this command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Should I try to update again?

this command only updates repo cache.
you should run this command to update installed softwares on your system.

sudo apt upgrade

It didn't fix the problem.
Maybe if I'll reset kde to default will fix it. How can I reset kde theme and icons?

there is "defaults" button in each part of the system setting menu.apply it to restore settings.

After reseting to default everything it is still not changing to the icons it was at the beginning.

These icons are taken from the (Plasma) desktop theme, not the icon theme.
You can only change them by switching to a different desktop theme.

And yes, it is normal that the ones from Breeze-dark look the same as the ones from Breeze...

You may try to remove the icon and Plasma theme caches from ~/.cache/ though (~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache and ~/.cache/plasma*) if something is not working as expected. And sometimes Plasma needs to be restarted to notice all configuration changes.

I just noticed that desktop theme is responsible for the icons in the launcher at the bottom, but I'm trying to get back the icons that was with the default settings like the icons in KDE Neon official website https://neon.kde.org/ look at the screen-shot example there.
All the desktop themes I have doesn't have the default icons. (I mean the icons in the launcher at the bottom only the rest is fine)
So I tried to delete the cache files but it is still the same even after I rebooted the machine.
Any ideas how to get it back?
Thank you very much for the help. (Sorry for my English I'm still learning )

Dude, I updated yesterday my Neon for 5.7.5 and my icons stayed equals yours, probably is of version

So it's not a bug it's a feature
Didn't think about it, too bad, I liked the previous icons.
