Im trying to move over from kde plasma to i3 but i need to have some things work perfectly first.
I would like to use dolphin as file manager but the icons dont work.

No its not related.
But i found out that if i do

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE 

i my icons back but i cant find a way to make it run on startup i tried putting

exec XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE

in my i3 config.
It also doenst work if i launch dolphin from my application launcher only if i start it from the terminal.

You can add `export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE` in your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile`

I don't have a ~/.profile file should i just make one and put

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE

in it.
And if i put it in my ~/.bashrc does it run on startup?

With me installing breeze-icons solved the problem.
