How to change to the colorful icons in KDE Taskbar

[0verEngineer]

The icons in my KDE Taskbar are the Symbolic ones, in the Start Menu are the colored ones, can this be changed?

There is a different folder for different size. If You look into apps subfolder You will see 16, 22, 24, 32 and 48. Depending the size used in DE, icons from that folder will be used. Anything below 32 links to 16, above 32 to scalable. You can test it by increasing size of the task bar - at some point icons will change to colourful ones. If you don't want to use monochrome icons You would have to change 22 and 24 folders to link scalable, and change 16 into symlink.

Hey, thank you, it works with the change to the 22 and 24 symlinks, but i still have two questions:

• why is it like this?
• you say "and change 16 into symlink", where should the link point?

why is it like this?

If You want to use big 256px icon to display as 16px You might loose all details and not be able (in some cases) recognize what app is that. It might or not be same with slightly bigger icons but it all depends of Your screen resolution, HiDPI or eyesight. It has to have some defaults and You can change it as You like but would have to do that with every new release, or every time You make an new pull.

you say "and change 16 into symlink", where should the link point?

To the folder with icons You want to display, scalable in Your case.
