Ah thanks for the report, an oversight indeed.

Should be fixed with:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/40730>
>
> Previously, the new topic button in the Horizon theme's sidebar hardcoded its la…bel and icon, so plugins like
> discourse-calendar could not relabel it (e.g. to "New Event" in an events category) even though the button outside the sidebar updated correctly.
>   
> This change runs the label and icon through the \`create-topic-label\` and \`create-topic-icon\` value transformers,
> matching core's \`d-navigation\` behaviour so plugin overrides apply in the sidebar too.
> 
> Since this button can now have two states, the icon is brought back to improve quick-glance clarity.
