It is blue again, missing it’s wonderful purple dress:
Me nao sad panda. Is it allready known?
Just updated and no, matches plasma colors on my side. Can’t confirm that
Bummer - what’s possibly wrong on my side? I absolutely hate it when KDE has such regressions…
Maybe check you theme settings if you haven’t already? Otherwise I have no idea, busy dealing with my own nightmare here.
Well I wouldn´t know because I always use the Meta+E keyboard shortcut to fire Dolphin up .
PlasmaStyle is still BreezeDark selected (and working, for all that I know):
Funny thing is: There is no Global Theme selected:
Is this wrong? I am not 100% sure if I had one selected prior to the update.
Icon Theme?
The purple highlight comes from the EndeavourOS theme. However, if you are using Breeze Dark, you can just set the accent color to purple. That is all the EOS theme is doing.
You should just have to change the Plasma Style to Breeze and set the colour scheme to breeze dark (You may have to set accent colour)
Klassy Dark:
It is, though, and everything else (Borders, Scrollbars, etcc) is respecting the color - it is just only the Dolphin Icon:
Why though? It did work before, I did not change anything in my setting since KDE6 came around…
Who knows, it may even have something to do with klassy. Did you manage to get your icon back?
Not all icon sets support the accent color.
If you switch back breeze for the icons, does it work?
First, sorry for my bad English…
Since last update KDE “overwrite” my icon-settings made with Menu-Editor. If i look in the K-Menu-Editor, I find the correct pictures, in Menu self there is shown the icon of the icon theme set global through System Settings. That is dissappointing, hours of work are away.
Possible reason, I am not shure in this moment - perhaps changed rights or settings in ~/.local/share/applications/ .desktop files.
By the way, the structure seems for me a desaster, some apps icons are easy to change in editor (old /new), other don´t change (without error message), third group can be text-edited in the above named directory inside the .desktop file at line icon= …, of course not apps from snap or flatpak - what the fu… for users?
Is there a way out?

There is nothing you can do except to either be a high-level ricer or use a distro that offers a fully customised experience.
These kinds of updates will happen again and again until both KDE’s and Gnome’s rapid updates have been finalised.
Backing up before updates may help a little, but sometimes the updates do this:
And you are left bewildered because an error message would be more useful.
@ddnn… sorry - I am not sure you understand right, perhaps because of my bad english description.
I use standard KDE GUI app K-Menu-Editor “Datei bearbeiten” and then after right mouse click on the old icon Editor asked for new Icon.
In this manner I edited the Menu since KDE 4.x (2014) and newer loose the settings through updates.
Replacement of the Icons was and is a normal standard base feature of KDE Plasma since about 10 years!!!
Now I seach a way back to my old settings - of course not with Timeshift - any ideas / help?
Greetings Michael
So, actually the real deal is the following: As soon as I take something else than Breeze in Plasma Style, the color turns blue. There is even a hint about this: “Follows Color Scheme”. Why this has been working before and does not anymore after the last update is something that really bothers me with KDE. NEvertheless, it does work in this way, ty all.
KDE may have changed something and the icon themes may not have updated yet, I just had a look at Klassy’s github and the last update they had was to their readme, everything else in it was last updated 5 months ago.
I understood you just fine, and I know all of that. I used to use KDE as my daily driver and still think it is the best full-featured DE known to man.
What I am saying is simply that random users have random results on random updates. And you just have to get used to that when using a rolling release distro, especially if the DE in question is receiving tons of updates.
If, for instance, you were using a static release distro like Debian, you wouldn’t be getting as many feature-breaking updates as you can with a rolling release distro. I daily drive Arch, but I sometimes use KDE on Ubuntu Studio. All good over there whenever I boot into it.
