Provide tray icon SVG for KDE Plasma
Well, it seems to me that the breeze iconset comes with some steam icons, here is my taskbar:
@MayeulC The icon's blur increase with the resolution. To make things worse, the icon will remains white when you're using the default Breeze theme...
That being said, is there any update/resolution for this issue?
Most of the trademarked logos were removed from Breeze iconset, Steam icon was removed in this commit: https://cgit.kde.org/breeze-icons.git/commit/?id=b699e31585c52fcc9a984f6cc17cf44bd2c7964c
@MayeulC Both icons shown in your screenshot are provided by Steam (the blue one for task bar being the app icon and the tray icon the white one I complained about in this bug report). The Steam tray icon is always white, even when using the default light Breeze theme, and tends to be rather blurry as it's a small PNG.
+1 for this.
As you can see on "light mode" I have an icon that looks like this. Would be cool to fix it.

Fwiw in Plasma 6 the tray icons come from the regular icon theme now rather than a special Plasma icon set
I would love to see this fixed! I suffer from astigmatism, which means that white content on a black background is hard for me to read, so I prefer to use light mode.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The tray icon in Steam is a 48x48 monochrome PNG (steam_tray_mono.png) which does not visually fit when running in KDE Plasma 5.
KDE Plasma 5 uses SVG icons exclusively throughout the shell which can also be colored at runtime to provide good contrast in both dark (with white icons) and light (with black icons) themes. Also, the system tray and panels can be resized at will causing a PNG to look blurry mostly.
KDE Plasma could ship its own steam_tray_mono.svgz according to Steam branding guidelines to ensure the icon looks good. I don't know what legal implications them shipping this icon has, though. Another alternative could be the Steam client providing an additional file on its own (the svg needs to be crafted in a specific way to allow runtime coloring, I can help with that if needed) and setting the icon name accordingly when run in KDE Plasma 5 (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=5)
