Description

In an effort to polish SyncTrayzor's UI, I think it would be nice to have a tray icon that matches the other white icons. It could be an option in the settings to match the system tray icon color (I think some people may have black icons on their white taskbar). I've attached some files that show what I'm proposing.

Research direction
Examine the SyncTrayzor codebase to locate where the tray icon is initialized and set, likely using NotifyIcon. Check if there is existing handling for Windows theme changes via SystemEvents or registry. The issue provides icon files that can be used for light and dark themes. Implementation may involve adding a settings option to enable automatic theme matching and updating the icon accordingly.
