LibreOffice fresh fuzzy icons (KDE Plasma, HiDpi)

Hi,

I'm using KDE Plasma with a scaling of 2 and I have forced the fonts dpi to 168. Everything looks fine, but the LibreOffice icons are all fuzzy and washed out, no matter what theme I select.
Please have a look here to see what I mean. I have a X1 Carbon with a 1440p panel.

I use the following environment settings:

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5
GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module

Installed packages:

libreoffice-fresh 6.2.2-3
plasma-desktop 5.15.4-1

Is there any way to mitigate this?

I use the following environment settings:

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5
GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5 is old and busted, try SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde5. If it doesn't help then perhaps nothing will. This is how LO scaling works.

Thanks, when I set the variable to "kde5" or "qt5" I get super sharp and crisp toolbar icons. But then I also get a very blurry font in the toolbar and preferences dialog window for instance. This is driving me nuts.
