Problem: monochrome icon themes (e.g. YAMIS on KDE) render every app as a currentColor line icon; aqomui's two-tone accent icon is one of the few colorful stragglers and has to be overridden by hand per machine.
Proposal: add
resources/icons/aqomui-symbolic.svg— the existing "a" mark with the two accent tones collapsed to a singlefill="currentColor"— and install it tohicolor/scalable/appsalongside the colorful one. Mono themes and users can then reference it without redrawing the mark. The collapse works cleanly (verified locally: stroke+fill both currentColor, keyhole mask unchanged). Optionally same treatment foraqomui_connected/aqomui_off.Verification: install a mono icon theme, add a same-name override pointing at the symbolic icon, confirm the launcher icon follows the color scheme.
Finding from doing the override locally: a filled currentColor mark reads far heavier than line-art icon sets (YAMIS et al.) — the symbolic variant should be stroke-based, not a filled silhouette. Working outline version (keyhole as one arc+trapezoid contour): dotfiles icons/yamis-overrides/aqomui.svg.
Correction to the previous comment: the heaviness was NOT the filled style — it was a missing KDE recoloring hook. Plasma renders bare currentColor as pure black; icons need the
class="ColorScheme-Text"+<style id="current-color-scheme">convention to pick up the scheme's text ink. A filled symbolic variant is fine (and matches how YAMIS's own icons are drawn) as long as it carries that convention. Working reference: dotfiles icons/yamis-overrides/aqomui.svg as of 791a319.
