Browser action icon is hard to see when there is a dark background

[jobara]

Describe the bug

The browser action icon, which is used to open the UIO+ panel, is currently a dark blue gear. This displays okay on the default Chrome theme, but is hard to see when run in incognito mode (black background) or other custom themes.

See: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction for tips.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install and enable UIO+ Notice that the browser action icon, blue gears, are small and may be hard to see.

Expected behavior

Browser action icon should be easily perceived on all backgrounds.

One option would be to use the UIO+ icon as the browser action as well. It displays the graphic on a white background and will likely appear better with various themes applied to the browser.

For incognito mode, could try to detect if in incognito mode and update the browser action if so (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36931484/light-dark-browseraction-icons-in-chrome-51 ).

For dark mode could try to use the window.matchMedia with "(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" to check if in dark mode. See: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction#method-setIcon for how to programatically set the browser action icon

Suggestion from the morphic team was to put it on a white background, they had to do something similar for the morphic icon to show up on a computer's desktop.
