Research direction

Open /usr/share/icons/char-white/index.theme and inspect the [Icon Theme] section. Add the specified Inherits fallback array directly beneath that header, then verify that the file declares breeze-dark, breeze, and hicolor as fallbacks and that the theme resolves missing status assets on cold boot.

Description

Describe the bug

The char-white icon theme lacks an Inherits fallback array in its index.theme configuration. On a cold boot of KDE Plasma 6, plasmashell fails to map missing status notifier assets natively from the theme directory. This causes system tray items (such as notifications and brightness) to default to generic placeholder question marks until the theme is manually toggled in the settings UI.

Expected behavior

The theme should declare standard fallbacks so the system can resolve missing status assets immediately during initialization.

Proposed fix

Add the following line to /usr/share/icons/char-white/index.theme directly under the [Icon Theme] section header:

Inherits=breeze-dark,breeze,hicolor 
Actual Result

Completely fixes the broken icon issue.
