[SOLVED] GVIM looks ugly in KDE Plasma

Hello I am new to KDE (I come to use XFCE for years) and my problem is that gvim looks very ugly. The icons are big and the characters have much spacing.

I attached a screenshot. You know how I can fix it?

Switch the icon theme for GTK apps. Breeze icons are not a drop-in replacement for GTK/Gnome icon themes. Standard Adwaita or even Oxygen icons will work. If you maximize that window, you'll notice that there are a few very large icons in the toolbar, but once you switch the icon theme it all looks proportional.
System Settings >  Application Style > Gnome Application Stlye (GTK)
