My proposal: we enforce Breeze as icon set and style everywhere. And

provide still a way to overwrite that for the user, but if the user
didn't set something manually, idenpendent what the system propose,

just use Breeze. And we depend on that as dep e.g. in Kate, if you
install Kate, that icon set and theme is installed.
+1. For me as someone who changes icons sometimes just to see and
tinker
around,
i think this makes sense. We have reliable fallback, but we still
allow
users to customize things which is, well, our thing! :)
And if the custom icons break i do not end up with broken apps, so
i really do not see any downside here, as user or dev perspective.
Yes, if some user switches a theme or style in our system settings
or in the application (like we do it with the color scheme switcher
some
applications like Kate have) that is fine.
But beside that, we should just force our default style and icon set,
like we do on Windows and macOS already, that will even make some
patches
and ifdef's useless we need now to sprinkle in all apps we really
support on
these platforms.
Hi,
I have now two drafts for both the icon theme/engine and the style
enforcing:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kiconthemes/-/merge_requests/136
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfigwidgets/-/merge_requests/239
Testing and feedback (and help) is welcome.
This would be opt-in, e.g. Kate would call
KIconTheme::initTheme()
before the QApplication construction and
KStyleManager::initStyle()
after it and that would ensure the full setup.
Greetings
Christoph
