Not sure if is safe enough to go with that for the release,
but since it was a problem also for themes half dark/half light, like oxygen, 
and i always wanted to make the stylesheet thing a bit more flexible, i added 
a detail in Svg, 
svg.setColorGroup(Normal/Button/View) vill make the svg elements that had the 
class as TextColor or BackgroundColor take the ButtonTextColor or 
ButtonBackgroundColor having an image potentially colored differently.

So in this kind of themes, icons on toolbuttons would go from white when the 
button is not visible to black when the button is visible.

I also done a version of breeze (Breeze Complementary) that has dark 
backgrounds but light buttons and lineedits.

This may be used for lock/logout/sddm.
