Icon theme issue

Bug description:
On distros running KDE plasma (I'm running plasmashell 5.18.5 on Kubuntu 20.04), if you set the Plasma global theme or the GTK3+ theme to anything based on the premise of "dark mode", it applies to the GTK components in the LibreOffice UI, but the icon theme remains the same: intended for light mode. The icon sets available in the settings menu are all light mode icons.

My Workaround (Sets LibreOffice to remain in light mode while the rest of the system is in dark mode):

cd /usr/share/applications
sed -i -e 's/Exec=/Exec=env GTK_THEME=Default/g' libreoffice*


I really don't like this workaround. I would like to see a dark mode icon set for Libreoffice, or at least LibreOffice to use the system icons in this case.

Possible fixes:
Include "dark mode" icon themes in the extensions store for Linux users

The project provides multiple "dark" mode icons themes. 

Up to distro to support the DE theme and bundle more of the icon themes from core.

This seems like a NOT OUR BUG.

LibreOffice runs in native Qt5 flavor and offers Breeze icons in white (Breeze Dark) and black. Of course, it would be nice to detect the brightness of the system theme.
