Description
On macOS, if we use a black-on-transparent PNG for the the menubar icon then in dark mode we get a white icon and in light mode we get a black icon.
Is there any way to explicitly set the colour of the icon so it is always a fixed colour? I tried just changing the colour in the PNG, but it still comes out black or white.

Research direction
Start with issue #317 and the repository's Electron menubar integration; no file or test is named, so first locate the icon-handling entry point and reproduce the PNG behavior on macOS in light and dark mode. Done should establish whether fixed coloring is supported and record the supported approach or required change.
