nm-applet icon invisble

After the latest update, the tray icon of nm-applet is "invisible"! I mean, I know it's still there, because when I put the mouse pointer on top of its location, it still shows up the tool-tip balloon with information about the current network connection, etc. I am using i3. Has anybody else come across this problem? Thanks in advance.

PS: I am not sure what extra information I could provide here. The only thing I have done icon-related is to set the theme to Oxygen, I think... And I have tried changing it, but it has had no effect, in what nm-applet's icon is concerned...

EDIT June 23: So I have some more information on this probblem... I was able to get the nm-applet to use the old icons again, by downgrading breeze-icons to 6.0.0-1. However, an strace of nm-applet shows that when this happens, the icons being used are NOT those of breeze-icons, but rather nm-applet's own:

- from strace:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-75.png", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13

- from pacman:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-75.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-75.png is owned by network-manager-applet 1.36.0-1

But after upgrading to breeze-icons 6.1.0-1 (or later) -- thus getting the "invisble" icons -- nm-applet seems to stop using its own icons, and use instead those of breeze:

- from strace:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/icons/breeze/status/22/nm-signal-75.svg", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13

- from pacman:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/icons/breeze/status/22/nm-signal-75.svg
/usr/share/icons/breeze/status/22/nm-signal-75.svg is owned by breeze-icons 6.1.0-1

Is there any way to get the old behaviour back, i.e., to get nm-applet to use its own icons again? Thanks in advance.

(And as I got no replies, am I really the only one with this problem? Or everybody else just doesn't care? )
