Can we have mixed modes? No need to switch icons every time.

A way to set an icon pack for light and an icon pack for dark mode would be nice. I am using Auto Dark Mode and my IDE switches themes automatically. I'd rather not restart my IDE every time my theme changes.

I don't think that mixed mode will be implemented one day in the official icons pack. A fork could do that, but I don't think we want to go against the guidelines here + it will be better to spend the efforts for implementing hot-reload.

For that unfortunately we still need to figure out before how to do dynamic reload. Before that even if we implement theme sync you'll still need to restart.

I think a mixed-mode will be an absolute last resort for this plugin as we already have the functionality to switch icon packs between the different flavours. As @quentinguidee mentions above, hopefully we can implement some logic that detects if the Catppuccin Theme is installed, automatically switch to the correct icon pack and prompt the user to restart.

I believe you will still need to restart the IDE but probably worth looking at other Icon plugins to see if they have the ability to change the icons dynamically without restarting.
