i updating my LCD steam deck that i got 2 weeks ago to the latest version from discovery software center restart as that's what i do almost every night before bed as it goes back to the big screen mode ready for when i take the deck out on the town but as i found switching back to desktop mode i found that i couldn't see the icons from the task bar clipboard contents, media player, sound, Bluetooth, screen brightness, most recent device, networks, charge, show hidden icons, peek at desktop & system settings. as well as 2 of my random apps

This doesnt look like the default icons.
What happens if you select Breeze icons in settings?
Had you previously set "Adwaita" as the icon theme prior to updating?
In Plasma 6, Gnome's Adwaita icon theme is hidden as it does not properly support the icon theme standard, causing the visual issues you are seeing.
If you have previously set Adwaita as the icon theme, simply change the icon theme back to Breeze in System Settings, otherwise, this is a strange issue and it would help if you shared your ~/.config/kdeglobals file.
i haven't changed anything in plasma 6 or gnomes themes @olib14. ill see if i can see if i can change the breeze, now that i read that again it reminds me of the default themes in settings
i just looked it up and idk if this is strange but theres 2 kdeglobals files but here you go
i cant paste the file here so maybe this will work [General] ColorScheme=Vapor
[Icons] Theme=breeze-dark
[KDE] widgetStyle=Breeze yay it worked this was said it was made yesterday [General] ColorScheme=Vapor
[Icons] Theme=breeze-dark
[KDE] widgetStyle=Breeze and this one was made 18/05/25
wow how did it reopen wtf my brain the things i do waking up ahhhhhhhhhhhh
oh i see now thanks @lostgoat you legend lol
yo changing it to breeze worked my shits back lol thanks guys
