Re: Black folder icons in Dolphin

[Rik Mills <rik.mills88@gmail.com>]

The reason is that the kf6-breeze-icon-theme which replaced the kf5 
version has some changes which are not supported by the Qt5/KF5 
kiconthemes library. You are also likely to see black folder icons in 
the file picker of any Qt5/KF5 app when you enlarge the icon view enough 
to see coloured folders.

Some solutions might be:
- downgrade to the KF5 breeze icon theme package and put that on hold 
with apt until Qt6/KF6 apps are ready.
- as some have done, copy locally the old icon theme so that takes 
precedence.
- persuade devs to revert the offending upstream change in the debian 
packaging, again until no longer required.

Hope that helps.
