Using pymmcore-gui on Windows, I noticed that the toolbar icons looked quite thin, the mouse hovering was not very visible and the toggle state on/of was not clear.

In this PR I tried to modify the look/behavior of the icon. The color I choose are simply to make the change clear, but we can discuss about the palette.

yeah... anything that uses setStyleSheet is something I'm going to have difficulty with, except in specific cases (such as something like #39 where it never needs to blend in to its surroundings)

I'd like to have some sort of theme idea in place (#4) before we start picking colors that look good ad hoc

I was starting to look a bit at themeing in https://github.com/tlambert03/pymmcore-gui/tree/theme (diff)

This may be unrelated, but the icons can be nearly invisible on dark-themed Windows (especially if there's any glare/dust on the monitor):

Not unrelated, but definitely related to #4

We need a global awareness of theme, and it should include colors of icons, backgrounds, etc

@gselzer and I found that if you switch the Accent Color in Windows's Settings > Personalization > Colors, then Qt will use that color for highlighting the buttons.
