Materia theme elements grayish

Hi,

My understanding is that Materia is the recommended theme for Solus currently, but as I switch to Materia-compact, the bottom panel elements with text are grayish. You can see below how the keyboard indicator's color differs from Dropbox icon. How could this be fixed?

I also noticed the colors don't work in some programs. For example, Gnome Emails (Evolution) has important icons in its title bar but, with Materia, they aren't visible:

Yea, not a fan of that theme, especially after sleek black Plata-noir that I am still using:

To whom it may concern -- one simply needs to switch to the dark icon theme. In my case dark Papirus icons work just fine with Plata compact.

Maybe the dark icon theme could be made the default one in newly installed Solus.

The solution was suggested by Serebit, https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/221#issuecomment-1320338930

But Plata-noir works just fine for the Panel, Materia theme has some issues, right?

I just tested Papirus light/dark icons with Materia dark theme, nothing changes..

noise617 Hmm, that would make sense, I suppose. To be honest I thought Papirus-dark already was the default.

it was reccomended to me to do it (dark theme) dconf editor which kinds of trumps all settings anywhere else

My understanding is dark-themed icons are necessary for both Plata and Materia, all or almost all varieties.

This is appropriate look of icons in Gnome Emails (Evolution) title bar:
