From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I managed to track it down further. The issue is that some icons (Discover, Gajim, Steam) pull their light/dark info from the “Colours” instead of the “Plasma Style”. So If you mix and match like I did (Breeze Twilight, i.e. Breeze Dark Plasma Style with Light Colours), then most icons will appear light due to the Dark Plasma Style, but some will be dark because they get their Light/Dark info from the Light Colours.
That information seems to be cached in ~/.cache/plasmashell/qmlcache/. When I delete that folder I get the broken icons. I f I use the cached folder from my desktop it’s fixed. I’m guessing some apps just are broken currently in that regard and I’m just “lucky”, that my desktop didn’t correctly flush the plasmashell cache
