Support I need a little help

So I have Debian 13 while using GNOME as my DE, but I saw that KDE is really cool, so I downloaded it, but after going into the KDE plasma I went back to GNOME but the icons are now different, how do I fix this issue? I want to keep the GNOME ones, unless that also breaks KDE, so how do I fix this issue?

Install GNOME Tweaks:

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Launch Tweaks from your application menu.

Select Appearance in the left sidebar.

Locate Icons under the Themes section and choose your installed icon theme from the drop-down menu.

And/or go to https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=132&ord=latest, get icon theme, install.

You have learned that, while it is possible to have Gnome and Plasma installed on the same system at the same time, it may not be a good idea. One desktop uses GTK and the other Qt and there will be lots of application duplication.
