Description of the Issue

The Dark Mode section of the Settings contains a tremendous amount of color customizations for Notepad++. You are only limited by your own imagination. It would be interesting if there was a color setting in that same Dark Mode section of Settings where you could select a color for the icons that would simply colorize the icons from their base color of #dedede.

Describe the solution you'd like.

There was a commit (5d086f9) a few years ago which inverted the icons to workaround a bug at the time in Windows 11. Adding color to the icons would certain be a bit more complex than simply inverting the icons. However, it would be a great feature. Especially since some of those colors that you can choose for Notepad++ itself may not necessarily go well with the default icon colors.
