Breeze Icons Update!
Breeze Icons Update!
A few weeks ago, right before the holidays, some chatter in the VDG channel happened where the desire to change our icons to a 24x24px size came up. Most modern interfaces use this icon size as a b…
If those manage to land on plasma 6... Damn that would be the greatest update to ever be

One would think if they are capable to write a special Figma plugin, they'd be also capable to write an Inkscape plugin.
