Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1877

Describe the feature you'd like

By default the Karakeep favicon (icon next to the tab in your browser) is always the dark one. While it looks great on browsers with light mode enabled, there is too little contrast with browsers with darker themes

Is it possible to match the color of the favicon with either dark mode or light mode? It will match the UI then
light mode: black icon
dark mode: white icon

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Better looking interface

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No, not sure how

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

I think this issue was originally about a different concern than was addressed in #1894, so I'd like to see this reopened.

Like OP @omarahmed786, my experience is that the favicon in my browser when the app/page is open (not the extension icon) shows up as black on a dark background, almost invisible. I too would love to see an option here, or at least a new favicon (with less transparency?) that shows up in dark and light themes.
