Beginners' Questions Inkscape file icon invisible

    Hi,

    Recently, while developing a small program, I decided to use Inkscape (v1.2) on my Kubuntu 22.04 LTS system to visualize some operations occurring within that program. When I saved the work to a file, Inkscape generated a file icon which used the systems current Breeze Dark theme for the icon, thereby making the icon almost invisible within Dolphin which also uses that same system theme. Most other text file icons are displayed as a white rectangle with the top right hand corner folded over whilst other type of file icon are also light coloured.

     

    Is there any way that I can get Inkscape to generate a similar light coloured file icon ?

    Good afternoon Mr Durden,

    First, please accept my sincere apologies for the tardiness of this reply.

     

    I went into System Settings/Personalisation/Applications/File Associations and did a search for Inkscape (see attached file Screenshot_20230201_141918.png) and for svg (see attached file Screenshot_20230201_142044.png). The offending almost invisible icon is shown at the right hand end of the top row of icons in attached file Screenshot_20230201_142531.png.
