5 days ago Hey thanks for filing this feature request! I don't think this would be difficult to do for the system icons and we could solve issues like #985, #951, and #853 by providing a dark icon theme that inherits the default icon theme and then switching those in settings-daemon
I'm not sure about how to go about solving this for app icons however. Probably that should be pursued upstream in Freedesktop.org here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/issues
Problem
When on dark mode the icons appear a lil bit too bright, specially at night, that can cause eye fatigue for some people.
Proposal
I think having a different set of icons or just darken the current ones for dark mode would be nicer on the eyes (just like the new IOS 18) :)
