I changed themes, to all of the 6 available by default, and didn't see anything strange. I assume that with "steam start menu icon" you mean the one in the bottom-left corner in the panel, the one that opens the main menu.

The icon changes slightly among themes, for some the outer part (half-circumference) is white, with other it is black.

@manuelafm yeah, I'm not sure how, but between the default themes I've managed to completely break the UI customizations by fully resetting to the I believe the theme was called breeze? its one of the defaults that comes with the OS and not sure how to "Undo" it

This sounds like a bug in the Plasma desktop. If you manage to reproduce the problem again and know the exact steps we could try to narrow it down. Or you can try to see in a KDE users forum if anyone had the same problem, as I said this sounds generic and not specific to SteamOS.

Anyway, I think that the theme configuration is in /home/deck/.config/kdeglobals and /home/deck/.config/kdedefaults, if you feel confident you can have a look there and see if there is anything suspicious.

@bertogg cool, when I get some downtime to goof around with it again, I'll report back.

@bertogg this is still an issue, if I re-image my OS and select these options:

there's no way to get the default settings back because "Vapor" theme doesn't modify desktop and window layout which it should but doesn't.

now whenever I try to "reset" the default, it doesn't update and the steam icon is lost for the start menu icon

I see, I think the quick way to reset this is by removing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and restarting the session (you can make a backup of that file before if you want).

It seems this is a bug on the KDE side, we shall follow up.
