**Mp3tag v3.34-beta.7**
Windows 10
1600x900 Resolution
Quick easy one, at least. 😅 Just two **Original** icons needing a white version made up: Find and Online Support. Totally fine in all other configurations.

You may have observed this same issue also in the toolbar with both the original and the new icons. There are three small black triangles beside the undo, action and tag source icons, that have no dark mode version so they stay black on dark grey background in dark mode. You can hardly notice that there is something more you can click onto.
(This image is from v3.34-beta6) Inverting these icons into white triangles would also allow to change the background color from dark grey to real black what would result in an better contrast, similar to the menu list.

I think v.3.34-beta7 has the triangles changed to a dark grey. I’m not 100% with the triangles as they actually look not too bad in black but I agree they would also look good in white too.
I’d argue dark mode suits the dark grey background far better, it’s easier on the eye and doesn’t need any more contrast added.

I've added variants for those icons with [Mp3tag v3.34-beta.8](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455), which should work in both modes. Thanks for pointing!
As for the menu arrows, I need to leave them as they are. I unfortunately have no public API to modify their colors, and experimented with drawing my own custom version above those. This didn't turn out well (besides being an ugly hack), because it's hard to predict the actual position of the area that is acting as the menu (UI scaling and different Windows version don't make it easier).
