GujjuGang7 on Reddit found this, saying:

Found this link while looking through the upcoming theming engine (Union) repository. It has mockups for several core apps (dolphin, Kate, konsole and more) and general components such as modals and titlebars.

KDE contributor Manueljlin would like to remind you:

hey folks, it's really early still. we didn't even properly show it at Akademy. there's no design system to properly back it up yet - only some tokens and components that are definitely subject to change. please keep that in mind

Please don't tell me they're making the settings icons colorless like this? Please say they're not? This looks horrible.

Look so damn good, they even seem to know what padding is this time.

It does look very professional, but I just don't like the monochrome icons. I hate them with a burning passion. I really hope they leave the colored ones as an option

Plasma has generally respected custom icon themes. I imagine that if this change does indeed land within the default Breeze icon set, that it would be possible to run either an older Breeze icon set, or a completely custom icon theme to restore colored icons.

I hope so. I have faith in them

I doubt they'd go the Gnome route of actually removing functionalities.

looks like they are, in general.

Kickoff’s category icons have been made symbolic and monochrome (where the active icon theme supports it), which conforms better to the HIG

Yeah well that sucks. Monochrome icons are ugly. Might as well use gnome then. I'm just hoping that we will still have the option to change back to the colored ones.

We need colour! light themes aren't meant to blind us!
