Check which theme you have selected in "Control Center > Appearance &
Themes > Icons". "Crystal SVG" should be a safe bet.
If all else fails you can rename ~/.kde and ~/.kderc so that new

log in with KDM) the next time. You will lose all your other
customizations of the settings if you do this, though.
