**Describe the bug**

When black and white icons are used as menu bar button icons, they have a tendency to be displayed as entirely white. Issue has been present since I began using around 6 months ago. I use icns file types, not sure if it has this issue with others.

**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):**

if completely black and white icons are used, the white part must be transparent, otherwise BTT can not automatically adapt to light / dark mode

I have sort of similar issue with colors of menubar items with text. Font color doesn't change depending on the background color (like all other icons do)
