Adds a "Monochrome tray icon" toggle to General settings. When it's on, the tray shows a black or white Artemis icon that matches the light or dark mode of the system tray, instead of the colored one.

Supersedes #867 by @ArthurGamerHD, thanks for the idea and the first version! This one cuts the options down to a single toggle that always picks the right color by itself, and comes with new icons.

How the color is picked

  • Windows: follows the taskbar, which uses the Windows mode. That's a separate setting from the app mode, so a dark taskbar with light apps (the Windows 10 default) still gets the white icon. It updates as soon as the Windows mode changes.
  • Linux: follows the system's light or dark mode.
  • macOS: the icon is a template icon, so the menu bar colors it itself.

- New "Monochrome tray icon" toggle under General settings
- Shows a black or white icon matching the light or dark mode of the system tray
- On Windows the color follows the taskbar (Windows mode), which can differ from the app mode
- On Linux the color follows the system's light or dark mode
- On macOS the icon is a template icon, so the menu bar colors it itself
- Icons come in 16 to 256px, including the sizes used for high-DPI tray scaling

Based on the idea and work in #867 by ArthurGamerHD.

Found a bug on linux.... "IsAutoRunSupported" set to false blocks the UI from displaying the Monochrome Tray Icon Option
