Monochrome icons are currently recolored using the window text color. This causes a clash if they are displayed on a background that is not window background, such as KMail in the system tray with a dark plasma theme, or if the toolbar uses inverted colors.
What do you suggest? Applications do not inform KIconTheme on which background the icons are going to be rendered.
The only thing I can think of is to add a new function to retrieve an icon which *does* take the background and foreground color (which would also help for the current menu item, for instance, if the selection text color is light rather than dark). For the current API, I would go so far as to say "don't return recolored icons".
