The lxqt theme is configured separately from Qt application styles, so it's possible for lxqt's panel and menu etc to have dark backgrounds, and for regular Qt applications to have bright backgrounds, at the same time. In fact this is the default with the \"frost\" lxqt theme and \"Breeze\" or \"Oxygen\" Qt style. An icon theme that looks good over a dark background doesn't necessarily look good on a bright background, so I think it's appropriate to have a separate setting for the icon theme used in lxqt panel etc.\r\n\r\nTo demonstrate the problem, below are two screenshot showing PCManFM-Qt and part of the panel, using different icon themes.\r\n\r\n![screenshot with Breeze](http://i.imgur.com/dtH3kQh.png)\r\nUsing the Breeze icon theme, icons in PCManFM-Qt are clearly visible, but the sound mixer in the bottom right is very dim. \r\n\r\n![screenshot with Breeze Dark](http://i.imgur.com/sd0VOvJ.png)\r\nUsing the Breeze Dark icon theme, the sound mixer icon in the panel has nice contrast, but most of the icons in PCManFM-Qt are barely visible except when highlighted with blue background.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lxde/lxqt/issues/comments/73430237","html_url":"https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/470#issuecomment-73430237","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lxde/lxqt/issues/470","id":73430237,"user":{"login":"jleclanche","id":235410,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/235410?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche","html_url":"https://github.com/jleclanche","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jleclanche/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-08T20:37:16Z","updated_at":"2015-02-08T20:37:16Z","body":"I'm +1 on this as long as it's discrete."}}
