bug: dark mode icons missing

Arch: x64
Desktop Environment: Hyprland
Version: 3.3.1
Installed by: nixpkgs

Describe the bug

When using dark mode (Adwaita-Dark in my case) the icons are still black, which looks odd...

To Reproduce

Go to settings, set Adwaita-Dark as theme, restart Cantata.

Expected behavior
The icons look lighter than the background.

Screenshots

Additional context

Thank you so so much for maintaining Cantata now, upgrading it to Qt 6, etc.!

My only issue other with this new version is that it seems to boot more slowly. Not sure if this is related to Db size (I have like 20K tracks I think) but I feel the old Cantata would start up faster...

Hello,

In theory Cantata should set the icon colors based on QPalette::Text color, however adwaita-qt is currently unmaintained for 2 years and I wonder if there are some changes that are preventing the color palette from being picked up. Do you have any other custom color palette changes, for example, with Qt6ct or such?

I just installed adwaita-qt6 1.4.2 and it is working correctly.

OS: Arch Linux
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma on Wayland with Breeze Dark
Version: 5d7c09e
Installed from AUR

However, it reminds me of palette issues I had when trying to use Breeze Dark with the LXQt desktop environment.

It seems to be an issue with the theme then. Perhaps there could be an "override palette" option as a workaround.

@arximboldi can you compile and test QtAwesomeSample from https://github.com/gamecreature/QtAwesome to see if it has the same issue?
You can specify the style with the argument -style Adwaita-Dark.

Maybe also try to install the latest version. When compiling yourself, make sure to set the CMake option BUNDLED_FONTAWESOME=ON to avoid potential issues with missing fonts. There were some changes in the icon code since v3.3.1.
