Its really hard to use KDE applications(kolourpaint, okular) because i have to squint at the screen to make out the toolbar items. And this is for someone who doesn't have any accessibility needs(like people with color-blindness for example)

How is everyone else not constantly having Eye strain from this.

What icon theme is set? Breeze dark for example shows white icons on dark background in all apps for me.

This. The issue is 100% an icon theme issue.

Do you mean for The OS itself(Linux mint cinnamon)? Its Mint-Y-aqua.

You were posting in the KDE community, so I was assuming you are using KDE. Can't answer a Linux Mint question, sorry.
