Not Showing Correct Icon Colour (Dark Theme) #1481

Description

Since an update to [Papirus Icon Theme](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme, dunst isn't showing the correct icon colours, instead it's just using the default colours.

This happens on Arch, using papirus-icon-theme-20250501-1

Downgrading to papirus-icon-theme-20250201-1 fixes the issue, I assume they changed something and now dunst isn't colouring the icon, instead it's just using the default colour of the SVG file.

Tested with this command:

dunstify -i brightness-low-symbolic test

Before Update:

After Update:

Comment from dev of Papirus on how it works:

The GTK engine should repaint symbolic icons in its own color schemes and colors according to classes (if available)

Seems like this "repainting" was working but now isn't.

Edit: It appears the older Papirus icon was white by default, now it's dark grey by default. Does dunst not actually colour the icons?
