+ * \brief Re-applies default icon theme assuming the palette is dark or not depending on \a isPaletteDark.
+ *
+ * Re-assigns the appropriate default icon theme depending on the current palette. Call this function after the
+ * darkmode setting has changed without the current palette reflecting that but you want the darkmode setting take
+ * precedence over the palette (e.g. when using Qt Quick Material style under Android). If your application makes
+ * actually use of the palette and you want the palette take precedence than call \a reevaluatePaletteAndDefaultIconTheme()
+ * instead.
+ *
+ * Note that QtSettings::isPaletteDark() will return \a isPaletteDark after calling this function (even though the current
+ * palette is not actually reflecting that).
+ *
+ * \remarks
+ * - The default icon theme must have been assigned before using the apply() function.
+ * - This function has no effect if a custom icon theme is configured.
