--- Comment #4 from Jan Kundrát <jkt@kde.org> ---
This bugreport is not about icons from the system tray. I'm an author of an 
extragear app, Trojita. This application has to know about the network 
status, and can be told to connect/disconnect from the network, and to use 
a special mode when the network is "expensive" (data roaming outside of EU, 
for example). That's why there's a set of three actions in Trojita's menu 
and Trojita's toolbar for switching between vairous network profiles.

Trojita is a Qt app, we do not use KF5 except for systemwide plugins which 
are installed into Qt5's shared plugin directory (kwindowsystemintegration, 
etc). Notably, we just use QIcon::fromTheme which only accepts an icon's 
name, not any other qualifier such as panel/action/device/whatever_else.

The problem which I'm seeing is that Breeze provides two icons (see #1 for 
their names) which represent opposite concepts/states/actions, but whose 
visual appearance is very similar -- to an extent that they cannot be used 
as a reasonable indicator of a network state based on just a quick glance.

My proposal is to modify at least one of these icons so that their 
difference is made visually clearer.
