Under 16.04 LTS, which was an upgraded to from the previous version of 
Ubuntu (I don't remember which version it was exactly) etc, the reboot 
options displayed when pressing 'Leave' on the launcher botton row had 
the same coloured icons that are being displayed now following Valeria's 
suggestion to use the Oxygen icon set, but that icon set has not changed 
the row of icons on the bottom of the launcher in 16.10 to the same set 
of coloured icons that were displayed under 16.04. I am using the Breeze 
application theme with the Oxygen icon set. As I mentioned before I am 
seeing the same symptoms under Fedora 24, and switching to the Oxygen 
application theme with the Oxygen icons set does not rectify the 
situation, I will try this combination under Ubuntu next time I'm on 
there but I am assuming the outcome will be the same.
Does this mean that upstream has changed things in the version of Plasma 
that is being used in 16.10 (and presumably Fedora) so that the changes 
I'm looking for to use are no longer possible?
I couldn't upgrade from 16.04 which had the changes I'm looking for to 
16.10, as the upgrade destroyed my Ubuntu system, so I had to reinstall 
16.04 from scratch, which only installed unity, upgrade to 16.10, and 
progressively add Gnome and Plasma onto that to get a working system 
back again.
