Yes. Automatic as on first launch with new profile, i.e. no Appearance theme
selected and enabled, follow os/DE Dark/Light color sense and the TDF builds
assign a default Icon theme, as devs or distro packagers decide. As its been
since OOo era.

But now with the Appearance framework evolving, theme designers should have the
ability to specify the icon theme along with the UI color theme when applied or
take defaults of os/DE, and for users to make an alternate icon theme
assignment. But defer to the theme designer choice for defaults for the theme.

Not to be confused with the Document color theme.
