Below a screenshot of Kate 24.02 running on Plasma 6. All icons are there, they are properly re-colored for the dark theme, too, including not just the used Breeze icons but for example the small Git icons in the left sidebar that Kate has bundled.

This is the vanilla state each user will get if Kate is installed on Plasma (and the dark theme is used).
There are no patches done during building to achieve that nor is there any extra user configuration necessary.

In the Craft build descriptions we do some patches to ensure the Breeze icons are bundled as library and the application links with that.
In addition we ensure with some more patching that our own icon engine is used to allow for the proper recoloring.

I have done no user configuration beside what the installer and initial setup wizard asked and then just installed the Kate package.
