Image showing the system tray icon in black on a dark panel

SUMMARY
On a dark panel, the KMail system tray icon remains black and is near
impossible to see in some odd situations, such as when the Breeze Twilight
theme in Plasma 6.0.1 is selected.

AFAICT from quick testing, the KMail Color Scheme setting has no relation to
the colour of the system tray icon.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Breeze Twilight under Colors & Themes -> Global Theme.

OBSERVED RESULT
A system tray icon that's very hard to see (see the kmail_system_tray.png image
attachment).

EXPECTED RESULT
A white icon, matching other other Plasma icons.

Strangely, if I apply Breeze Twilight, and then Breeze Dark, the icon remains
black and unreadable. However, if I apply Breeze, and then switch to Breeze
Dark, the icon is now as expected in white.

If I then select Breeze Twilight for everything except "Colors", that gets most
of the theme applied except it's still a dark theme which I do not want.
However, at this point I can select Breeze Twilight again with all Appearance
settings selected, and that will apply the correct colours everywhere but also
for some reason leave the system tray icon white — so that's the bizarre
work-around.

Or so I thought! As I was writing this, the system tray icon turned black
again. It appears to revert as soon as the icon is updated, presumably by
getting a new message, or more simply, by closing and re-opening KMail again.
