Hello, thank you for your response. I apologize for my delayed reply.

I attempted to use the files you sent, but unfortunately, they did not resolve the issue.
I suspect that this issue may be related to Dolphin itself or another KDE component that I have not installed with it.
I have conducted research on this matter, but I have not yet reached a definitive conclusion.
Additionally, I have tried using other icon themes, but they also failed to function as expected.

Just i guess, does happen anything when right click on the dolphin sidebar > icon size select ie 16x16, 22x22 selecting any of those?

@buufmax I had the same issue and changed icon size to 16x16 or 22x22 solved it, but a larger icon size still did not work.

@Peterhungchien When you point the mouse at the black separator line and move it to the left, does it change the shape of the icons to symbolics? That's how it works for me.

No it is not working for me

@vinceliuice I solved the said issue by passing the following option in the ~/.config/kdeglobals

[Icons]
Theme=WhiteSur-dark

I also solved it. You can achieve this by

Open Dolphin.
Right click the anywhere empty space in the panel.
Go to 3rd option icon-size
Choose auto-resize (1st option)
