Switch from Light to Dark Mode leaves the light mode Icons

I have used FFS for many years, always in dark mode. Recently I was trying light mode (throughout windows). I didn't like it. Trying to revert FFS to Dark mode worked for the most part except the Icons for Browse and those on the main screen.

I've tried going back to light mode, and the dark.
My Windows 11 system is set to Dark mode. Full updates.
Thanks for any help

Windows 11, fully updated, latest FFS here
I wasn't able to recreate this issue. What if you reboot?

After posting, I realized that a few other apps had a similar problem (windows explorer to name one), so went searching deeper. Seems in my recent trial of using light mode, I set the Windows theme to a "Light" theme. When I reverted to dark, I set the mode to dark, which apparently doesn't override a few things in a theme—icons. Setting Windows to a dark theme, cured the problem for all the apps. Sorry to cause trouble. (To answer your question, I rebooted several times. Wasn't an issue a reboot would fix.)
