Created attachment 188901 [details] Illegible button icons SUMMARY The icons inside Oxygen's desktop theme are rendered white-ish, while the button background is also about the same. That results in illegible icons (fix incoming). We'd want to have light buttons, but dark content inside them. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download qtodolist addon 2. Add a list item 3. Observe the buttons OBSERVED RESULT Light icon in light button. EXPECTED RESULT Dark icon in dark button. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The theme hasn't been touched in a while so the bug is present in master and older versions.
