Using Papirus (or Breeze Dark) instead of Ubuntu Studio Dark not only enables
the "Configure Icon Sizes" slider in " System Settings/Appearance/Icons ", but
also *is* in fact effective. I had just failed to understand the different
categories of icons.
Krusader now allows selection of different icon sizes in the toolbar but
doesn't use them. The toolbar icon size is only affected by "System Settings".
1. If Ubuntu Studio Dark is based on Papirus, why doesn't it support "Configure
icon sizes" (System Settings/Appearance/Icons)?
2. What is the difference between "toolbar" and "main toolbar"?
3. The icon size in the (default) "Icons-only Task Manager" doesn't respond to
System Settings/Appearance/Icons, nor is there such an option in its
"Configure" dialog. How can I change its icon site?
4. Is there some way to change "Appearance" settings for the whole system,
instead of changing them in each user profile?
Thanks for all your help!

As an experiment I changed the icon theme in "System Settings" to Papirus and
increased the icon size to 48px. However, I see no change in the UI. Neither
the icons in the "Icons only" task manager nor those in any application have
changed, even after restarting the system. Toolbar icons in GnuCash and
Krusader are mostly monochrome and faded to the point of suggesting that they
are disabled, even though they are active. The "Icon size" option in the
context menu of Krusader's toolbar is als ineffective (see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459753). How can I get icons with decent
contrast (preferably color) and size?

My best user experience with ubuntu studio along years have been customizing
XCFE GUI environment.

To be honest, the Ubuntu Studio icon theme merely sets the distributor-logo
icon as the Ubuntu Studio logo and inherits the Papirus icons. If you don't
prefer this, just go to System Settings -> Appearance, -> Icons and select a
different theme. If there's nothing there you like, click on "Get New Icons"
where you can download hundreds more icons themes. You can also browse these at
https://store.kde.org, though installation from there is quite a bit more
complex.
You are never obligated to stay with the default Ubuntu Studio theme, it's just
a starter. Whatever you choose to do is completely up to you. This is one of
the reasons why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment.
We saw that our users wanted to make a desktop that suited them, and this
desktop provides the most flexibility in that area.

XFCE was discontinued as the default desktop environment for Ubuntu Studio
following the release of 20.04. If you are still on 20.04 and haven't upgraded
yet, I would encourage you to do so as you have just over 6 months of support
left.
