Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be great to be able to set icons per theme-mode (ie dark/light) - as it stands now a monochromatic icon can look very out of place in the opposite mode. Or maybe this is already possible somehow?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Allow setting dark/light profile icons individually in settings.json

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how profile icons are currently stored and rendered in the settings model and UI layer, then design an extension to allow separate icons for dark and light themes.
