Revision Plasma 5.20 (2021-04-09)

Plasma comes with a full set of icons in several sizes. These icons are being used all over Plasma: the desktop, the panel, the Dolphin file manager, in every toolbar of every Plasma application, etc. The icons control module offers you very flexible ways of customizing the way Plasma handles icons.

In this module you can:

- install and choose icon themes

- choose different icon sizes

- remove icon themes

### Important

Please note that some of these settings may depend on your selected icon theme. Plasma comes with several icon themes by default, Breeze, Breeze Dark and Oxygen.

At the top is a preview of the current theme icons. Most default installations will have only a few icon theme available, amongst them the Plasma default Breeze theme. You can also download more from the Internet from https://store.kde.org/ or install them from a local file.

On hover an animated preview shows a random selection, common mime types and common folder icons.

If you want to remove a theme, use the overlay icon at the bottom right of the theme icon. To undo this action click on the icon. If you hit the Apply button the themes selected for removal are actually deleted, so you cannot undo individual or all deletions.

Configure Icon Sizes

  Select one of the components and use the slider to adapt the corresponding size.
