I am ambivalent on this: I find the Sifr icons too fat/thick, would therefore
prefer the Breeze icons, which are finer/thinner, because of that, I can live
with current default Breeze dark icon theme on macOS better than with Colibre.

What about a look at Apples free to use

Apple Developer: SF Symbols
https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/ 
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/foundations/sf-symbols/
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/guidelines/overview

?

Multicolor, Monocolor, b/w, SVG, etc.

What about a new proposal: a _new_ theme, for normal and dark mode, using THESE
Apple SF Symbols/icons and/or additionally icons, that are of their style,
blend ideally with them, because they are of their same style and design
language?

If not, which ones are nearer at these Apple SF icons and blend better with
them style-wise – Breeze or Sifr? Colibre and Sukapura seem to be NOT at all,
on that we both seem to agree.

But as you can read, a dark mode Sukapura theme was not wanted, the poll's
result is another than that. Unfortunately, I find. Is I understand Rizmut,
Rizmut wanted to make the poll to have a votum to create a Sukapura dark theme,
this votum didn't materialize, the votum wanted Breeze dark as dark theme on
macOS (while sticking with Sukapura in normal mode). "Suboptimal" and in itself
and on this particulary platform (macOS) inconsistent, I find, to say the
least, to put it politely.

LibreOffice UX Team, LibreOffice Design Team should set it as a topic, should
discuss and make a decision, I think.
