I was about to make this same issue! Papirus is my favorite icon pack. Looking forward to using it with Plasma 6!

Panel related adaptions was once mentioned by #3595.

Okay guys, I don't think it is possible to have a solution right now. KDE colour scheme icons currently only have sizes up to 24px in Papirus, but the ones that were previously used inside the Plasma themes need to have 32px and 22px sizes. There's no place for symbolic 32px icons at the moment. And even after figuring out where to put them, the necessary scripts for preparing and converting the icons need to be modified. I managed to assemble a quick-and-dirty solution, but I think it is better not to merge it. We need restructuring. I guess I can finally understand what @SmartFinn meant by his harsh reaction to this change in Plasma 6.

The removable devices tray icon also shows a colored version, not a monochrome version - not sure this is intended

Plasma 5

Plasma 6 (please ignore the annotation around the battery. Also the power icon changing to Plasma icon is a bug with that applet, it is not a Plasma issue.)

I support we are waiting for Plasma 6! Papirus is the best set!

do we make the symbolic klipper icon to be a generic metal clip icon ( ) used for clipman in xfce, for example? or perhaps a better solution would be to draw a new icon that would be more similar to the one breeze icon theme uses? ( )
also, we have a few klipper icons in various old plasma themes. those could be used too.

I could even start adding some necessary 32px symbolic icons myself, perhaps in the apps folder or in a new folder somewhere, but I'm not experienced in the project structure and script writing, so I'll be waiting for Serhii to say his word.

It looks like KDE has done something similar to Breeze Icons 6. In one of Nate Graham's blog posts he said that Plasma 6 will adapt to the way GNOME uses the -symbolic suffix, which may mean that icon makers can put the symbolic icons in all sizes, alongside the coloured ones.

@monstorix we could, but as I've said we need some non-trivial restructuring. The situation is dire because symbolic icons which are used in GNOME don't adapt their colour, but the icons with the KDE colourscheme support do. And now they are mixed up. I haven't given it much thought, but it seems like another challenge.

Sorry, I don't have enough time to install KDE on my laptop to see the changes. I suppose that @monstorix is right, this is required some major changes to Papirus icon theme. KDE may need 22px, and 24px symbolic icons, that we don't support now.

I wrote a script that converts 16px icons into 22px, and 24px, sometime ago. So it shouldn't be a problem. However, we should find the right icon theme structure at first. Another way is creating a fork for Plasma 6.
