Why is the Dropbox tray icon black on Windows 10?

Recently the Dropbox icon on my Windows 10 machine turned black, it was white before.

As you can see in the image it is barely visible (since I have transparent taskbar) - On a black taskbar it would not appear at all.

I have just spotted the same problem. A black icon doesn't work on a black task bar - looks ridiculous! Please change this back or give an option to have a black or white logo.

Thank you

Same problem here. Icon invisible.

Thanks for fixing this.

What is the answer to this question? How can we make the taskbar icon white, not black?
