[KDE Plasma 6] Some Tray Icons are Dark when Light Ones Should be Used about papirus-icon-theme

[UM-Li]

The icon for removable devices uses the dark variant as well.

Came to report a similar thing, and I am not sure if this is a fault of this icon pack or the developer of the software. If it is the latter, please let me know.

In KDE, the default task bar is "Icons-only", but you can right click an empty area, click "Show alternatives", and choose "Task manager". Then it becomes basically like Windows XP task bar. By default, it shows a speaker icon for apps that plays a sound. With the default Breeze or even with Papirus, the speaker icon is white:

But with ePapirus/ePapirus Dark, it becomes black:

To see the changes applied, you need to stop playing the sound and then start playing it again, after changing the icons in the System Settings.

Frankly, I am not sure why this is happening, because if I see the speaker icons using Icon Explorer, Papirus and EPapirus should work the same.

@UM-Li Have you placed your mouse pointer over those icons? On my computer, it seems that changed icons are only applied when I move the mouse over them (probably causing them to redraw themselves).

[UM-Li]

@HubKing The affected tray icons are dark on my system without the cursor hovering above. If I do it the icons (KeePassXC in the example) only lighten up a bit, so they seem to behave "normally" as dark icons instead of changing into their light variants.

@UM-Li keepassxc has a setting in the bottom of general settings to use dark or light tray icon explicitly. Couldn't it be you have dark options selected there?

[UM-Li]

@Grief Just checked and it doesn't look like so, KeePassXC is set to use the light icon.

But I just updated Plasma to v6.0.4 and all tray icons have returned to their light versions again. I think I'll close this issue for now.
