Did you try to changes the widgets style from Setup Miscs dialog page ?

Comment 2 Paul 2021-12-19 10:56:18 UTC 
The widget style I normally use is QtCurve.

Tried  Breeze and Oxygen widget styles - no change (to colouring) , icons remain white.
Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2021-12-19 12:09:10 UTC 
In current KF5 versions the auto colo icon theme feature has been added. Use the System Icon Theme in digiKam Settings Miscellaneous. After the restart, the icons automatically adapt to your set color scheme. I have openSUSE myself. Do not choose Breeze or Breeze-Dark if you are using a native KF5 desktop.

Screenshot #2

"Configure Digikam -> Miscellaneous -> Appearance - Icon Theme" was already set to "Use Icon Theme From System"

With that setting I get White Icons, not black, as in 7.3 - see screenshot #2. So maybe "something" is not quite working as intended with the "auto colo icon" feature...

If however I do select "Breeze" for the Icon Theme, then the black icons are restored.
Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2021-12-19 14:38:49 UTC 
Are you using openSUSE Leap, as I suspect? This still contains an older KF5 version. Then the selection "Breeze" is correct. We don't use the KIconLoader for portability reasons. Therefore a manual selection of the icon theme is necessary.

Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2021-12-19 14:41:32 UTC 
This commit for digiKam-7.5.0 also fixes the problem for you that the icon theme is automatically adjusted when you change the color scheme.
