Toolbar icons are dim in geany

[thisself]

Hi all! New user here.

I installed geany text editor.
By default, it opens in dark mode and the toolbar icons can be barely seen.

Normally geany looks like this: https://www.geany.org/media/uploads/scr ... -05-20.png (Image is taken from geany's website).
I tried reinstalling geany but it didn't work.
I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2.
Any fixes for the icons and how to change it to light mode?

Thanks.

Correct. Mine looks like that and I don't think I did anything to make that happen.
For me Atom was dark, and when I lightened it up I still did not like it. So I went to Geany.

Any chance your Theme would propagate into this program?? I think not.

I ran into the problem with the icons being hard to see as well, but in light mode. I didn't think they were there at first, until I tried to click on one.

So I had to do some digging around and what worked for me was changing the theme for Linux Mint, especially selecting Mint-Y in the "Icons" part of the Themes screen. I originally had it on Mint-Y-Dark and that was the problem. I hope this helps you out!
