QETStyle::hoverColor() lightened the highlight color until it read at
3.5:1 against the Light role. On a dark face that is the way to go; on a
light face lightening only fades the ink, so with a pale platform accent
that QET keeps (macOS's green selection color, black selection text) the
loop ran to white and every hovered line-art icon vanished. The ink now
moves away from the face, darker on a light face, lighter on a dark one,
and falls back to the button text color if twenty steps are not enough.
The hover test gets a row with that accent on each palette, and a new
test sweeps accents across hues and lightness on both palettes and
requires the hover ink to read at 3:1 on the face.
Fixes#962
Hovering a tool button changed only its frame, and on the dark palette
Fusion's hover frame is too faint to notice, so nothing told the user
which button was under the pointer (GitHub #870, PR 3 of the plan).
QETStyle wraps the running style. For QIcon::Active it returns line-art
icons tinted in the palette's highlight color, lightened until the tint
reads at 3:1 on the Light role, which is the top of Fusion's hover
gradient. Colored icons keep their colors, using the same line-art rule
as misc/make_icon_themes.py. Every other mode goes to the base style.
Fusion also asks for QIcon::Active for the icon of a highlighted menu
item and paints it on the highlight bar, where the tint would vanish.
The generated pixmap is cached per icon and cannot tell a menu from a
toolbar, so drawControl(CE_MenuItem) hands the base style an icon whose
Active pixmap is in the HighlightedText color instead.
QETApp::initStyle() installs the proxy on every platform, keeping the
base style's object name so the Fusion checks still match.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: hovering changes the icon ink to the tint and
stays at 3:1 on both palettes, on a raised button and on a checked one
drawn sunken, where the frame gives no hover cue at all; a colored icon is unchanged on hover; a
highlighted menu item's icon reads at 3:1 on the highlight bar.
inkcontrast.h gains background() and ink() helpers for those checks.
