Tested on Linux, modern Windows and Windows 10 2016.

I was curious to test if this all worked by using the new Qt6 dark mode query:

/* Check for dark scheme to determine the icons */
#if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(6, 5, 0)
    QStyleHints *styleHints = qApp->styleHints();
    if (styleHints && styleHints->colorScheme() == Qt::ColorScheme::Dark) {
        mIconSuffix = QStringLiteral("_dark");
    }
#endif

And it worked in the high contrast and dark mode scenarios.
