--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Indeed. Ordinarily I might recommend that you bring this up upstream, but TBH I
doubt it would get anywhere. The FreeDesktop icon spec is probably one of the
most problematic ones out there, with major glaring flaws and unclear paths to
compliance by icon themes. It's for this reason that GNOME has started
abandoning it. We like to play nice and adhere to common standards in KDE, but
sometimes this bites us in cases where the common standards themselves aren't
ideal.

We could probably change KIconLoader to fall back to an icon in the fallback
theme for every single icon that's missing from the active theme, but this
would cause the iconography of apps' to switch between two styles much more
commonly. And again, it would break the spec. But maybe that's the lesser of
two evils?

Worth bringing up in a Gitlab Issue at
https://invent.kde.org/groups/teams/vdg/-/issues, IMO.
