Icons not suitable for dark theme

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • make sure using the dark theme (in my case is the default one)

What happened?

Some icons are hard to be seen, like for instance:

  • "Create and edit text objects (F8)"
  • "Snap text anchors and baselines"
  • "Snap to grids"
  • "Snap to guides"

Others seem to be the same design or hard to differentiate, such as:

  • "Enable snapping (%)"
  • "Snap bounding boxes"
  • "Snap nodes, paths, and handles"
  • "Snap other points (centers, guide origins, gradient handles, etc.)"

And others are clearly designed for a light theme, their background is white which clearly doesn't fit with a dark theme at all, like these two:

  • "Select all objects or all nodes (Ctrl+A)"
  • "Select all objects in all visible and unlocked layers (Ctrl+Alt+A)"

What should have happened?

A dark theme requires a set of icons whose colors are light enough to distinguish them easily.
