with it, but I don't really think that fits. The current red icon for root was 
never appropriate in the first place IMHO. Either Icon Blue or just the regular 
Icon Grey color seem more appropriate to me.
  
  
  I understand what you're saying, but throughout the Breeze theme, red is also 
used for root. If we used grey it would probably still be fine, but blue would 
stick out.

idea of using a slash to represent the root disk will be immediately apparent 
to technical users, but will be lost on everyone else. The Plasma logo might be 
more easily comprehensible for everyone.
  
  I do agree that the forward slash isn't a great symbol for root for 
non-technical users, but it's very difficult to fit anything even slightly 
complex onto the 16 px icons without it becoming difficult to read. The Plasma 
logo works fine for 64px, but it's not very good at the smaller sizes.
  
  This is my best attempt at getting the plasma logo to fit on the 16px icon:
