Light icons on light background #242

Now that I managed to have a light top bar, it looks like this:

I am pointing to the Nextcloud client and VLC player icons. They are still in their light color which they had when the top bar was dark. Is there a hidden tweak for this plugin to "invert" the app icon colors? Or is this even each application's issue to take care of it, and all the developers just assume everyone has a dark top bar?

I have the same problem

I think it's an issue of each individual application. A solution would be to provide information about the appindicator theme (light/dark mode) the same way as apps can check if the windows should be in light or dark mode. But I think this would require changes in the desktop environments...
