Description

Our MPL toolbar icons are simple inversions (black) of the white ones (for dark mode).
But Napari's light mode uses a brownish grey and the icons have a button border.

This can probably be fixed in the same way that napari recolours their icons on their QPushButtons in the UI.

Research direction

The issue concerns the MPL toolbar icons and napari's QPushButton UI. Start by locating the toolbar icon assets and comparing them with napari's light-theme recolouring behavior; check the brownish-grey colour and button border described in the issue. Done means the icons match napari's light-mode appearance while dark mode remains correct.
